49s Lottery – Everything You Need To Know

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. 

 

What is the 49s lottery?

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.

 

How do you play UK 49s Lotto?

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.

 

What time is the 49s draw? 

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). 

 

What are the odds of winning?

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

Two numbers                  1 in 1,176

One number                    1 in 49

 

Where can I play 49s Lotto?

You can play 49s at most bookmakers. Some companies, such as Ladbrokes, will allow you to play online. 

 

How much does it cost to play?

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. 

 

How much will I win?

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. 

 

Where can I find UK 49 latest results?

You can find the UK 49 latest results, 49 results history, right here at Lottery Results. We publish the latest 49 lunchtime results and 49 teatime results every day after each draw. You can also find a complete record of the 49s history of draw results to check your results on previous draws. 

Best of luck!

 

EuroMillions Winner – Five Years Later

When Anne Canavan bought a spontaneous EuroMillions Friday ticket in October 2015, little did she know she would soon become a millionaire! The mum of four from Derry recently caught up with National Lottery officials and recounted how her EuroMillions lottery results had changed her life.

Life as a EuroMillions winner

The lucky winner recalled what led to her buying her winning ticket. She shared that she had been out with a friend shopping and decided to buy a Tuesday EuroMillions ticket. While checking out, she found some extra quid in her pocket and chose to buy a EuroMillions Friday ticket as well. Incredibly, it was this spontaneous decision that landed her a £1 Million EuroMillions payout! 

Anne reflected on the EuroMillions draw, noting that she had a strange feeling. Typically, she would wait for a few tickets to check the EuroMillions lottery results. However, that fateful Friday, she felt the urge to check her Euro Lotto results, getting out of bed at 1am to check her results several times on her laptop. 

While she was initially shocked, the EuroMillions winner is forever grateful for the life-changing event. The winner shared how she has used the EuroMillions payout to help fund her inventions and writing. Anne is the inventor of the Snotblot, a wristband that stores tissues, as well as other innovative products. Having also written 15 children’s stories, she is a creative force to be reckoned with! Best of luck to Anne with all her endeavours! 

You can find out more about Anne on the National Lottery website.

UK National Lotto Winners – One Year Later

We often hear about lottery winners and their plans to use the prize winnings. But what do they really end up doing? Officials recently caught up with two UK National Lotto winners from Nuneaton who won £1 Million in September 2019.

Double the luck!

Martin recalled how he had won a Lucky Dip on the previous Lotto draw and decided to play the following draw with his wife. Incredibly, the Lucky Dip was even luckier and won! After learning that their Lotto draw results had the winning numbers, Martin and Debbie were overjoyed. They had the 5 main numbers and bonus ball required to win the top prize in the Lotto draw on 18 September 2019. 

Lanzarote Lifestyle

After winning, Martin was quick to splash out on a new Volkswagen T-Roc. The special purchase was well-deserved and will be great to help transport fishing tackle for much-loved family fishing trips. 

When the couple first spoke with officials last year, they were looking forward to planning for a future in the sunshine and treating their family. 

“We’ve always dreamed of having our own little place in Lanzarote. We’re now in a position where we can actually do this, we can live our dream and go out there several times a year, perhaps even spend winters out there. And our relatives can use it too. One day we’d love to move to Lanzarote full time.”

The National Lottery team were lucky enough to catch up with the winners again one year later. True to their word, the winning couple has indeed bought a holiday home in Lanzarote! The clean beaches, friendly people, and the calm environment is everything they could dream of and truly paradise for the couple.

The Health Lottery Results and More!

What could be better than winning a lottery? Winning a lottery that goes towards a good cause! The Health Lottery gives you the chance to win up to £250,000 from just £1 – while also helping to combat health inequality in the UK. Here’s our guide to the Health Lottery, results, and winners!

What is the Health Lottery?

The Health Lottery offers incredible prizes and support for great causes. It operates on behalf of a group of 12 local society lotteries across the UK.

While all residents of the UK can play, the Health Lottery is not a national health lottery or affiliated with the National Lottery. Rather, it’s a group of 12 Community Interest Companies across Great Britain. Each month, the Health Lottery is run for a different region, which receives the benefits from all the Health Lottery draws that month. This makes sure everyone gets a fair share of the money raised.

Where can I find the Health Lottery results?

Lottery Results UK has the latest Health Lottery results. Here you’ll find the winning numbers, prize breakdown, and how many numbers are required to win. Plus, check old Health Lottery results by searching the draw number or date.

Why play the Health Lottery?

If the chance to win £250,000 for just £1 per ticket isn’t enough of a reason to play, the great cause behind the lottery certainly is. The Health Lottery operates to help fight health inequality in the UK. The Health Lottery states that 20p from every £1 goes directly to supporting local health-related causes.

Health inequality is a significant issue in Britain today. One statistic shows that there is a staggering 9-year difference in life expectancy between men who live in poorer areas and men living in wealthy areas. The funds raised by the Health Lottery go towards supporting local projects in Great Britain, helping and empowering the most vulnerable in our communities. Over £113 million has been raised for their cause so far. Projects that receive funding from the Health Lottery include community health-living initiatives, support for the elderly to keep fit and prevent vascular dementia, and respite programmes for carers who are in need of a well-deserved break.

On top of the low cost and great cause, the Health Lottery odds are among the best in UK lotteries, at 1 in 2,000,000 of winning the jackpot.

Health Lottery Winners

Over 12 million lucky Brits have won a prize in the Health Lottery, with over £150 million won in prizes! Every week 50,000 winners are crowned. There is the monthly Mega Raffle offering one winner a guaranteed prize of £250,000, plus the chance to win £100,000 every Wednesday and Sunday. But no matter what, there is a minimum jackpot of £25,000, so you always have the chance to win big!

One Health Lottery winner is former police officer Tim from Chelmsford. He won an astonishing £250,000 with the monthly Mega Raffle. Incredibly, Tim waiting two days to surprise his wife with the news that he had won. However, he knew right away he was going to buy their dream home with the winnings. The winner had retired through ill-health and is eternally grateful for his wife’s support through everything. Upon finally hearing of his win, Tim’s wife summed up the experience perfectly, saying, “It’s truly the best news ever. I’m so excited!”.

Congratulations!

 

Lotto draw results in a new millionaire winner

A couple from Chipping Norton are celebrating after their Lotto draw results revealed a £1 million win! After a challenging year, the winner is simply overjoyed and shared his story with lottery officials.

The winner purchased a ticket online in the Lotto draw on Saturday the 1 August 2020. They explained that David, the winner, plays online occasionally with numbers that are important to them. Fortunately, those special numbers were also the winning Saturday Lotto numbers! 

Discovering the Lotto draw results

It wasn’t until the early hours of Sunday morning that they learned the Lotto draw results. David’s wife, Shelley, mentioned that she initially was quite grumpy with her husband for waking her up.

“He told me we’d won the lottery. I was furious, I thought he meant a tenner!”

David was shaking as he showed his wife the latest Lotto results on his phone. It began to sink in that they may have won before she ran into her son’s bedroom for him to check as well. Shelley shared that it was indeed a sleepless night in their home and that they were relieved to confirm the win with officials. 

How they plan to use the win

The English couple revealed that they had been going through a difficult time in recent months. Shelley was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2019, followed tragically by the loss of two family members. The couple is determined to remain positive but are also being cautious with their win. As hardworking people, they know the value of money and will take the time to make decisions regarding their winnings. 

However, they divulged a few plans for their incredible windfall. A new car is top of the list for David. Meanwhile, Shelley is eager to travel to Canada once travel restrictions are relaxed. She explained how there are friends and family in Canada she had previously thought they would never be able to see in person.

UK Lottery winning numbers: from TV to reality! 

Choosing which numbers to play can be a difficult decision. But for 10 players of a recent Set for Life draw, having the UK lottery winning numbers came down to a TV show – Lost. 

 

The Set for Life draw on June 15, 2020 was surrounded by mystery, when a new record was set for second tier prize winners. Incredibly, 10 winners all won £10,000 a month for a year! While not as exciting as winning the first prize, the sheer number of winners called for investigation. 

 

The winning lotto results revealed that only 2 of the 10 winners entered a Lucky Dip. The remaining 8 all played the same UK lottery winning numbers. It may seem a coincidence, but officials discovered an odd connection. All the players based their choice on a lottery winning combination in the TV show, Lost. 

 

Lost is a smash supernatural US television show, based on survivors of an airline crash somewhere in the South Pacific. The show premiered in 2004 and aired its final episode over 10 years ago in 2010. However, at least 8 fans of the show are certainly happy to have been paying attention! The players based their numbers on the character Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes’ winning lotto results after he won a jackpot of $114 million. 

 

Winning Lotto Results

The fictitious winning lotto results were 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. Meanwhile, the UK lottery winning numbers were 4, 15, 21, 23, 42, and the Life Ball 2. With 4 of the 5 main numbers matching, the Lost fans were awarded the second prize of £10,000 a month for a year! Lottery officials confirmed that the Lost numbers are popular. Over 200 entries in the June 15 draw using a combination of 5 of the 6 fantasy numbers. 

 

Whether the numbers were chosen by strategy, or unconsciously, they are certainly numbers these players won’t soon forget.

Unclaimed lottery results

While it may seem strange that someone could miss claiming millions, it happens far more often than you think! Whether they misplace their ticket, have the wrong results to check against, or just simply don’t think they could win, many prizes go unclaimed.

Currently, there are several first Division prizes waiting to be claimed. Could they be yours? 

One unclaimed Lotto prize for an astonishing £1,000,000 is due to expire in just days – on 27 July 2020. The ticket was the winning entry in Lotto draw 2515 on 29 January 2020.

One EuroMillions player is missing out on over £57.8 million from a EuroMillions draw 1303 back on 17 March 2020! The South Ayrshire player matched all 5 main numbers (5, 7, 8, 15, 20)  and 2 Lucky Stars (2, 12). They must claim their prize before 13 September 2020 or risk losing their enormous windfall!

How long do I have to claim a lotto prize? 

 

National Lottery players have just 180 days from the draw to claim prizes on their winning tickets. There’s no time to wait – check previous Lotto results at Lottery Results UK before it’s too late.

 

However, it’s not all bad news. While the player misses out after the 180 day claim period has expired, the unclaimed winnings are donated to the National Lottery’s Good Causes Fund to help fund charitable and community projects around the UK. 

 

What happens to an unclaimed lottery prize?

We all like to imagine what extravagant things we would do if we won the lottery. A new house, a fancy car, an extravagant holiday – the list is endless. Sadly, this dream isn’t always a reality – even for lottery winners! In some instances, the owner of the winning ticket will never come forward. When there is a winning lottery ticket but no one claims the prize, where does the unclaimed lottery prize money actually go? 

How long do I have to claim a lottery prize? 

In the United Kingdom, players have to claim their prize within 180 days. Meanwhile, Ireland has just half the time to claim, at 90 days. Once the claim period is over, the ticket will expire and the owner of the lottery ticket will not be able to claim any winnings.

What happens to unclaimed lottery winnings? 

After the claim period has expired, any unclaimed lottery prizes, and any interest prizes have accumulated, are allocated to the National Lottery’s Good Causes fund. Ultimately, this fund benefits thousands of charities, trusts and associations throughout the UK. 

How often do lottery winnings go unclaimed? 

Fortunately, winners often realise their win in time. In most cases, an increase in publicity about how much money is still to be claimed, lottery winners will eventually come forward. For example, in July 2019, a player in Manchester claimed their £1 million prize just hours before the deadline.

However, this is not always the case. In 2012, a £68 million EuroMillions winning ticket was sold in Hertfordshire.  Sadly, the owner missed the 180 day cut off. Imagine missing out on £68 million from missing the claim period!

In the year ending 31 March 2020, the National Lottery saw ticket sales of £7,905.1 million. Consequently, £4.5 billion was paid to players in prizes! To give context to how often lottery winnings go unclaimed, over the 2018/19 financial year, £125.1 million of funds raised as the result of lottery prizes that were never claimed.

Players can check the National Lotteries unclaimed prizes page to a see a list of the major unclaimed lottery prizes.

Finally, to make sure you aren’t missing out on winnings, visit Lottery Results UK. Check the draw numbers against the numbers on your tickets to ensure you don’t miss out on taking home the jackpot prize!
