The UK Lotto, previously known as the National Lottery, is the UK’s premier lottery. It’s drawn at 20:00 GMT every Wednesday and 19:45 GMT every Saturday evening.
The UK Lotto involves six balls being drawn from a pot of 59, plus a seventh bonus ball.
Whilst you can play the UK Lotto by buying a ticket, we give you a second way to bet. Place a stake on the UK Lottery with BoyleSports, and you can play without buying a
ticket by betting on the results of the lottery with us instead. You’ll benefit from the convenience that comes with online betting, plus you can bet with our fixed
UK Lottery odds and place a range of straight and mixed UK Lotto bets.
How do I bet on UK Lotto?
BoyleSports gives you an alternative way to bet on the UK Lottery. Rather than buying a ticket, you can bet on one to five numbers with us.
Place a bet on the UK Lotto by selecting one to five numbers at the top of Ticket 1. Choose them yourself or click QUICK PICK for a lucky dip.
Choose which draw to bet on, the Wednesday or Saturday draw, or both. Then decide whether or not you want to include the bonus ball in your bet – adding the bonus ball will
shorten your odds, as you’ll be betting on your numbers being drawn from seven rather than six balls, but will lower your payout. Add your stake, and you’ll see the odds for your bet,
plus your Total Stake and Total Return.
Add your ticket to your betslip, or complete more tickets to make more bets on the UK Lottery.
You’ll also be able to make a range of multiple bets on the UK Lotto, including doubles, trebles, accumulators and more, by selecting MULTIPLE BETS,

How do UK odds work?
When you bet online on the UK Lottery with BoyleSports, not only do you play with fixed UK Lottery odds, but you get to pick how many numbers you bet on,
from one to five on straight bets.
Bet on one number, and you’ll have better odds but a lower Total Return. Bet on more numbers, and your odds will lengthen, but your potential winnings will rise too.
Stake £1 on one number, and if it's picked you’ll win £8. Bet £1 on all five numbers successfully and you’ll win £300,000.
Adding the bonus ball to your bet increases your chances of winning, but lowers your odds, as you’re betting on your numbers being drawn from seven balls rather than six.
