The 49s lottery is one of the UK’s favourite games. But what exactly is UK 49s Lotto, how do you play and how much will you win? We’ll take you through everything you need to know, plus where to find UK 49 latest results, 49s history, and more.
49s is a draw that takes place twice a day, every day. There is a 49s lunchtime draw and a 49s teatime draw each day of the week.
49s is named after the number of balls that are in play. 49s involves drawing six balls, including a Booster ball, with balls numbered from 1 to 49.
UK 49s Lotto is different than standard lotteries, as each bookmaker has different rules. Make sure to check with your bookmaker before playing in case their rules or odds differ.
To play, you select whether you would like to play in the six ball draw or seven ball draw. The seven ball draw includes the Booster ball and therefore increases your chances of winning.
In the six ball draw, you choose up to five numbers from the first six to be drawn. In the seven ball draw, you choose up to five numbers from all seven which will be drawn.
Unlike other UK lotteries, the 49s lottery is based on a betting system. After choosing a draw and your numbers, you’ll need to decide on the amount you would like to bet. You’re betting on those numbers being drawn. Since there are two draws a day, you will need to choose which of the daily draws you want to play in – either the lunchtime or teatime draw. You can also choose to play in multiple draws.
Finally, place your bet with the bookmaker of your choosing.
UK 49s Lotto is drawn twice a day, every day. There is a draw at lunchtime, at 12:49 pm GMT and another at teatime, at 5:49 pm GMT (or 4:49 pm GMT in Winter).
The odds of winning the 49s are:
Matched numbers Odds
Six numbers 1 in 13,983,816
Five numbers 1 in 1,906,884
Four numbers 1 in 211, 876
Three numbers 1 in 18,424

You can play 49s at most bookmakers. Some companies, such as Ladbrokes, will allow you to play online.
The 49s lottery does not have a fixed price, as it works on a betting system. Instead, you can choose how much you want to bet.
Unlike other lotteries, 49s doesn’t have a prize structure. Instead, prizes are based on the odds of winning and your 49s results. Winnings will also differ depending on how much you bet on the draw.
For example, if you placed a £1 wager on a teatime draw and matched five numbers, you could win £125,000 in the six number draw, or £40,000 in the seven number draw. The winnings double if you placed a £2 wager.
Each bookmaker will have different odds, so it’s best to check which bookmaker has the best odds before playing.
