How to Play and Win the UK 49's

The UK49’s Lunchtime and Teatime draws are both 6/49 games, which means that six numbers are drawn from a drum of 49 numbers.

After the six main numbers have been draw, a seventh number known as the Booster number is drawn from the same drum.

Unlike other lotteries, the UK49’s is not sold as a lottery game. It is a lottery draw that betting companies in the UK and around the world take bets on, so you will need to check with your bookmaker for odds, prizes and any specific rules that you should be aware of.

Typically, you will have the option to choose how many numbers you want to match and set your stake amount.

There are two draw markets, the six number draw and seven number draw. In the six number draw, the ‘Booster’ ball is not included, however in the seven number draw it is, which means it’s technically easier to match your predicted numbers in a seven number game, however the prize amount is likely to be lower.

Bookmakers will typically offer some kind of calculator feature to let you know how much you will win if your predicted numbers are all draw, so you know in advance before paying.

Wherever you place your bet, you should either receive a receipt or email confirmation of your bets. Online bookmakers will typically let you know automatically if you have won a prize.
