The draw takes place each Friday. Once the draw has taken place, winners are notified by post, if you would like to see a list of the latest winning numbers you can navigate to the lottery winners page.

There’s no need for you to do a thing. If you are one of the lucky winners, we will send your winning cheque to you by post.
