Each national lottery has its own rules, which are published on its website. When visiting a lottery or lottery website, we simply look for links titled "Lottery Rules," "Lottery Rules," "Rules," or "Regulations."

 

Below are some basic lottery rules or regulations, as well as how to play the game and a game summary.

 

Summary of Game Rules

 

For example, in a 49-ball lottery, six numbers need to be selected from 1 to 49. 6 numbers and a winning number are drawn from 49 numbered balls. Match all 6 numbers to win the jackpot. Match 5 numbers and bonus numbers to win the second highest prize. Match five, four or three numbers to win small prizes.

 

how to play the lottery

 

First, mark six numbers on any personal lottery board, ticket or lottery. On some lotteries or betting slips, you can play multiple sets of numbers. You can also buy tickets without filling in the playlist. Let your computer terminal randomly choose your six-digit combination.

 

Where applicable, check the "lottery" you are playing and mark your lotto/lottery/betting slip appropriately.

 

Some lotteries/bet slips let you play the same numbers for more than a week (multiple draws). You need to mark the appropriate sections accordingly. You will only receive one ticket, but your numbers will be entered according to the selected draw day and draw week numbers.

 

Take the completed lottery/betting slip to your retailer or lottery terminal. They'll type your selection into the terminal and give you a lotto/ticket ticket. It is your responsibility to check that the information it contains is correct - your numbers, the number of days, weeks and draw dates you wish to play.

 

Where applicable, you must also check that the barcode serial number on the ticket is legible and that the 'void' box is not marked. Please keep your ticket safe. You'll need it to claim your prize, as it's the only proof you've won it. For security reasons, it is recommended that you write your name and address on the back of the ticket.

 

If the number 6 lottery/lotto selection on your ticket matches the six main numbers (in any order) from the relevant lottery/lotto draw, you are a jackpot winner. You may be required to share the jackpot with other winners. You can also win by matching five, four or even three of the six main numbers. Note the seventh "bonus number" drawn. If you have already matched five numbers, matching the bonus numbers will earn you the second highest payout.
