Can You Play the Lottery Online in the UK?
Yes — you can play all the main UK National Lottery games online through the official website and app. Here's how it works and what to know.
How online play works
You create an account, verify you're 18 or over and a UK resident, and buy entries for any of the draw games. You can also set up subscriptions so you never miss a draw. Online play is available to over-18s only.
Limits and responsible play
Daily and weekly play limits apply as a responsible-gambling measure, and you can set your own lower limits. These exist to keep play within healthy bounds.
How wins are paid
Smaller prizes are paid into your online account automatically; larger prizes are claimed by arrangement. Your tickets are checked for you, so there's no risk of missing a win. See how to check a lottery ticket and the National Lottery app for more.
