As the name of this popular UK Lotto game suggests, Daily Play is a game that is played every day of the week except Sundays and the 25th December. This means that regular players buying just one ticket for each draw will get 312 chances to win each and every year, and with the odds of winning any prize being 1 in 8, that could result in quite a good number of Daily Play celebrations!

To participate in the Daily Play game, you need to select seven numbers from the range 1 to 27. As with other UK Lotto games, you can take advantage of a Lucky Dip facility if you would prefer to have your numbers generated at random. You can also pay for the same set(s) of numbers to be entered for several consecutive draws – a very useful feature that means you won’t have to buy tickets daily.
Daily Play offers five prize levels. Not only do these include a top prize of £30,000, but they also include a consolation prize of a free Daily Draw ticket for any player who doesn’t match any of the numbers drawn. Details of the prize levels, and the odds of winning in each case, are as follows:

In line with general UK Lotto rules, players who win a Daily Play prize have no more than 180 days from the date of the draw to make their claim. If they miss this deadline then their prize is forfeited and goes directly to a fund for Good Causes instead. The good news for those who buy their Daily Play tickets online is that they will be notified of any win automatically, so missing out won’t be a problem! It isn't quite an instant lottery but playing daily comes pretty close.
