Prize Capping
In the Monday and Thursday and Annual Draw, the total Jackpot prize pool will be capped at £100,000. This means that if we have up to 4 ticket entries all matching the 5 Main Numbers, each winning ticket will be awarded a £25,000 Jackpot prize. However, if there are 5 or more winning entries, they will each be awarded an equal share of the £100,000 Jackpot prize pool.
The overall prize pool including all winning categories will be capped at £150,000. This means that the prize of all categories will be reduced in proportion so as to bring the total prize payout to a maximum of £150,000 for any single draw, and we reserve the right to cancel the Fast pick entry prize for matching 2 Main Numbers.

AVOIDING LOTTERY SCAMS
Scammers use emails, phone calls or letters which try to trick you into thinking you've won a lottery prize and may use real or convincing company logos in their emails or letters.
They do this so that they can ask you for money to release the prize or for your personal details, which they can use to try to steal your identity. If you are in any doubt about an email you have received, please do not select any links in it. Instead, type the website address directly into your browser.
It is not necessary to select links in emails we send to you to claim your prizes. Remember that we will never ask you for money to release a prize.
