How to play national lottery
Playslip
The most common way to play the National Lottery is to fill in a playslip and hand it to a retailer who will feed it into their terminal and produce a ticket for the draws that you wish to enter.
To fill in a playslip you should mark 6 number boxes with a BOLD vertical mark in either blue/black ink or pencil (do not use red ink) in each board that you wish to play.
If you make a mistake fill in the 'Void' box with a BOLD vertical mark and the terminal will then ignore that board. Do NOT rub out (if using pencil) and NEVER use tip-ex on a playslip - this could damage a terminal and prevent you from entering the National Lottery draw.
Lucky Dip
If you want to receive random numbers then mark, with a BOLD vertical mark, the 'Lucky Dip' box on an EMPTY board (do not mark Lucky Dip on a board with picked numbers as the terminal will reject this). If you only want Lucky Dip then there is no need to fill in a playslip - simply ask the retailer for the number of Lucky Dips you want and for which draw(s). They will then enter this in the terminal and produce a ticket for you.

Which Draw?
DON'T forget to mark 'Which Draw' to tell the terminal which draw you want your numbers entered into (not marking any of the draw boxes causes unnecessary delays at the terminal - if you want to enter both draws mark both, if you want to enter only one mark the relevant box, if you want to change the draw you have marked fill out a new playslip).
Multi Draw
Should you wish to play the same numbers for more than one consecutive draw then mark the 'No. of Weeks' box for the number you wish to enter. (eg: £2 for Wednesday only for 3 weeks - mark wednesday and 3 - this will cost a total of £6 (£2 x 3 weeks). £2 for Both draws for 3 weeks - mark both and 3 - this will cost a total of £12 (£2 x 2 draws per week x 3 weeks)).
Subscription
The playslip allows you to play upto 16 consecutive draws, if you wish to play more than this then Camelot runs a subscription service which allows you to play upto 104 consecutive draws. If you are interested in this then phone the National Lottery Subscription Service on 0645 125000 (local rates apply) and you will be sent an application form. You can give subscriptions as a gift (to UK residents) and they can be paid for by UK Cheque or Direct Debit (direct debit can not be used for gifts).
Non UK Residents
You can not play the National Lottery unless you are personally in the United Kingdom and purchase a ticket yourself from a National Lottery Retailer.
