How to Play UK Hot Picks
Pick Your Numbers
You can go with a Lucky Dip and the computer will randomly choose your numbers for you, or you can pick your own numbers and mark up to five numbers from 1 to 59.
Buy Your Ticket
You can buy UK Hot Picks tickets from authorized retailers and online through the National Lottery official website for £1 per play.
Drawing Time and Schedule
UK Hot Picks uses the same draw for UK Lotto, so draw times are similar for the two games – Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8:30 PM.
Payouts, Odds, and Rules
In Hot Picks, you can play from 1 to 5 numbers in one game. You are entered into a specific game type depending on how many numbers you choose. For instance, if you pick 1 number, you are entered into Game Type 1, and can only win in that game. That means if you pick 3 numbers and only match 2, you don't win a prize.
Check out the table below for a rundown. It shows you how much you can win and your chances of winning based on how many numbers you chose to play.
| Game Type and Match | Odds | Prize |
| Pick 1: Match 1 of 5 | 1 in 10 | £6 |
| Pick 2: Match 2 of 5 | 1 in 115 | £60 |
| Pick 3: Match 3 of 5 | 1 in 1,626 | £800 |
| Pick 4: Match 4 of 5 | 1 in 30,342 | £13,000 |
| Pick 5: Match 5 of 5 | 1 in 834,398 | £360,000 |
Claim Your Prize
Prizes are tax-free! Also, it’s worth noting that prizes are paid out in the form of a lump sum. Finally, like other games under the UK National Lottery, winners of Hot Picks have a maximum of 180 days to claim their prizes. Unclaimed prizes will go to the Good Causes Foundation.
You can claim prizes up to £100 from authorized retailers. Prizes up to £500 can sometimes be claimed at the bigger retailers and some post offices. Prizes up to £50,000 can be claimed at designated post offices or by mail. Prizes over £50,000 must be claimed in person at the National Lottery headquarters.
For online tickets, prizes up to £500 are credited to your player account. Prizes up to £30,000 can be deposited to your registered debit card. Contact the lottery to claim larger prizes.
