UK National Lottery Rollovers
This is when things get really exciting! If no one matches the 6 main numbers drawn, no one wins the jackpot prize and its
rolled over to the next draw. If the main lottery prize isn't won after 4 consecutive draws, the final jackpot is shared out in
the 4th draw, between players who match 5 of the 6 main numbers drawn plus the bonus number. However it works out,
rollover jackpots are guaranteed to be life-changing amounts of money. And you can't ever afford to miss them.
Check the lotteries at the top of the page to see if there's a rollover waiting to be won.

Your Chances of Winning
With a 1 in 54 chance of winning a prize, each UK Lottery draw sees thousands of prize winners. Here's how the winnings
are split out:
| Tier | Requirements | Published Odds | Estimated Winners | Estimated Payouts | Estimated Prize Fund |
|
| Jackpot | 6 Balls | 13,983,816 | 1 | £2,900,000 | £2,900,000 |
| Tier 2 | 5 Balls + Bonus | 2,330,636 | 6 | £125,000 | £750,000 |
| Tier 3 | 5 Balls | 55,492 | 252 | £1,600 | £403,200 |
| Tier 4 | 4 Balls | 1,033 | 13,538 | £60 | £812,280 |
| Tier 5 | 3 Balls | 57 | 245,331 | £10 | £2,435,310 |
The exact value of your prize depends on the number of lottery tickets sold and the number of people who match the
same numbers as yours.
Three matching numbers will always win £10, except in the extremely unlikely event that the prize fund can't cover the
minimum payout. In such an instance, the prize fund would simply be split equally between all prize winners.
