It’s easier to buy online.
For people who are forgetful or not very well organised, there are probably plenty of times where they’ve let the lottery draw go by without buying a ticket in time. Just imagine how you would feel if your numbers came up on the one week when you didn’t get around to buying a ticket?
When you play the lottery on a regular basis, it’s so much easier if you buy your tickets online. There’s no need to wait in line at the local corner shop – or get there before closing time. You can buy National Lottery tickets online at any time – day or night. You can also buy ahead if you’re going away – or buy online while you’re away.
Once you’ve got your ticket, there’s no need to worry about where that little piece of paper has got to either. Your numbers will be registered online, and if you’re lucky enough to get a win you’ll get an email or SMS notification. Of course, whether you’ve bought a ticket from the shops or online, you can still check National Lotto Results online at any time.
Some of the online retailers offer special promotions to get players to register with them. At Lottoland, every new player is entitled to either a free lotto ticket or a money back guarantee on the first five tickets they purchase online. And when you buy lotto tickets online you can also purchase tickets for international lotteries like America’s Powerball and MegaMillions draw and the Euromillions draw.
Although the odds of winning one of the international lotteries is lower than the UK lotto, there’s no reason not to be hopeful and give it a go now and then. There are always new mega jackpot winners being announced and your chances of being the winning player are every bit as likely as the next person’s. And if you don’t have to go out in this winter’s wind and rain to get your ticket, then so much the better!
