Daily Play is a National Lottery game that has a draw every day of the week except on Sundays and Christmas Day. This gives you 312 draws per year to enjoy, and with a 1 in 8 chance of winning any prize, you could potentially win time after time. Here’s how to play...

Step 1 – Choose Your Numbers

Get a Daily Play lottery play slip and mark seven numbers from 1-27 with a neat horizontal line. There are several boards of numbers on a one play slip and this allows you to choose several lines of numbers for the same draw. Each line costs £1 to enter. If you would like one more lines of numbers to be generated entirely at random, you can mark the Lucky Dip option next to a blank board. The lottery software will then pick your seven numbers on your behalf.

Step 2 – Choose Your Draws

You can enter the same line(s) of numbers for up to six consecutive draws. This allows you to enter the Daily Play game every day even if you only visit your lottery retailer once a week. To take advantage of this feature, select the number of draws that you want to enter by marking the relevant number of draws on your play slip. Note that any lines that are generated using the Lucky Dip facility will be entered for every draw without any change from day to day.

Step 3 – Get Your Ticket

Hand your completed play slip to the lottery retailer with the appropriate entry fee and you will be given your official Daily Play lottery ticket. Check this carefully to ensure that everything is as you expect because any mistakes must be brought to the attention of the retailer without delay. If you fail to do this within two hours of the ticket being issued, or before the lottery terminal closes if this is sooner, you lose any right to have any mistake rectified. When you are satisfied that the ticket is accurate you should keep it in a safe place, as anyone who has the ticket also has the right to claim any prize that it wins.

Step 4 – Check Your Numbers

When the Daily Play draw has taken place you should check your numbers to see if you have won a prize. There are five prize levels in all, and these are show below, along with the odds of you winning:

How to Win	Prize	Odds of Winning
Match 7 numbers	£30,000	1 in 888,030
Match 6 numbers	£300	1 in 6,344
Match 5 numbers	£30	1 in 223
Match 4 numbers	£5	1 in 23
Match 0 numbers	£1 Daily Play Lucky Dip ticket	1 in 12

Step 5 – Claim Your Prize

If you have matched 0, 4, 5, 6 or 7 numbers then you should now claim your prize. Do not delay because you only have up to 180 days from the draw to lodge your claim. If you miss this deadline that any prize you are due will be forfeited and the money will go to the lottery fund for Good Causes instead.
