Lotto HotPicks
Lotto HotPicks is a game that uses the numbers from the main Lotto draw, but it offers a different way to win. Players are given control over how much money they want to play for, with prizes ranging from £3 for matching just one number up to £175,000 for successfully matching five. You do not have to enter Lotto in order to play HotPicks, it is a stand-alone game. Remember, there are two rounds on every draw night, so your ticket always has two chances to win!
Since January 2018, EuroMillions HotPicks has also been played on Tuesdays and Fridays, operating under a similar format.

How to Play Lotto HotPicks
Lotto HotPicks costs £1 per line and players must choose numbers from 1 to 59, this is the same range used in the regular Lotto draw. How many numbers you need to choose varies depending on which version of the game you decide to play. There are five options available:
| Game Type | Choose |
|---|---|
| Pick 1 | One number from 1 - 59 |
| Pick 2 | Two numbers from 1 - 59 |
| Pick 3 | Three numbers from 1 - 59 |
| Pick 4 | Four numbers from 1 - 59 |
| Pick 5 | Five numbers from 1 - 59 |
You need to match all of the numbers that you chose in order to win. So, if you bought a Pick 3 ticket and only matched two of the numbers drawn, then unfortunately you would not win a prize.
The numbers you play are entered into both rounds on your selected draw night, but you can’t combine the results to make a winning match. For example, if you play Pick 2 and choose the numbers 9 and 10, both need to be drawn in the same round. There would be no prize if the number 9 was drawn in Round 1, then the number 10 was drawn in Round 2.
If you opt to enter the main Lotto draw as well, you do not have to use any of the same numbers for HotPicks. For example, if your Lotto numbers were 5, 9, 21, 33, 36 and 40 then your HotPicks numbers could be 7, 12 and 54. Buy a Lucky Dip rather than choosing your own numbers if you want to make sure your selection is completely random.
Odds of Winning
Here’s a breakdown of the potential prizes and your chances of winning. Depending on which game type you play and the combination of numbers that is drawn, you may even be able to win two prizes on the same draw night. For example, if you play Pick 1 and choose the number 7, then 7 is drawn in both Round 1 and Round 2, you would win two sets of £3 (for a total of £6).
| Game Type | You Match | You Win* | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pick 5 | 5 numbers | £175,000 | 1 in 417,200 |
| Pick 4 | 4 numbers | £6,500 | 1 in 15,172 |
| Pick 3 | 3 numbers | £400 | 1 in 813 |
| Pick 2 | 2 numbers | £30 | 1 in 57.3 |
| Pick 1 | 1 number | £3 | 1 in 5.2 |
*The prize amounts in each tier are fixed, which means they are the same in every draw and multiple winners do not have to share (subject to prize capping rules in extraordinary circumstances). So if two players won with Pick 5 tickets, they would receive £175,000 each.
The odds displayed are the chances of winning a prize across both rounds of a draw night.
