Daily Play - How to Play

For the first time ever in the history of The National Lottery you'll even win a prize for matching no numbers at all - a Daily Play Lucky Dip Ticket. Win cash prizes of £5 up to £30,000 for matching four numbers or more. You have a one in eight chance of winning a prize. Daily Play costs just £1 per play and the game can be played up to six days in advance.

Every Day except Christmas Day

The first step is to select which days of the week you wish to play and then mark the appropriate box in the fist section of the Daily Play slip. You then need to mark seven numbers per board by placing a heavy horizontal mark on each numbered box you pick. Each play slip has four boards for you to play at Daily Play and each board contains the number 1 to 27 an represents one selection of numbers. Alternatively, mark the Luck Dip box to have your number selection(s) randomly generated. Daily Play costs £1 per board per draw.

How to win on Daily Play

On each Daily Play draw day there will be a random drawing of 7 numbers from the numbers 1 to 27. Match 4, 5, 6 or 7 numbers in any one selection, with the 7 numbers drawn, to win prizes from £5 to £30,000.

Match 7 - Win £30,000
