Play the National lottery from Outside the UK

Information for international lottery players wishing to play the UK National Lottery from outside the UK.

Must I be a UK resident/citizen to play?

Yes and No!

You must be in the UK to buy a regular Lotto ticket from a lottery outlet and have a Uk bank account into whihc you can pay the jackpot cheque.

However, you can play online from anywhere and buy lottery tickets via this link or the buttons below.

Outside the UK you will be playing with an unofficial agent and your tickets will cost you slightly more than a regular ticket to cover the suppliers costs. The one listed here is a reputable supplier and provides a scan of the ticket bought with your numbers on it for peace of mind. The UK link is the official supplier.

Can I have a subscription arranged from another country?

Subscription requests can only be accepted from players with a UK address and a UK sterling bank account.
