Payouts for the varying lotto games differ drastically though out each game, so it’s important to know what you’re playing and what you could potentially win. Remember that the Euromillions results always mean that someone has one £1 Million, that’s all there is to it.
For the main game, the Lotto results, the winning potentials are;
3 Numbers – £10 per winner
4 Numbers – 22% of remaining fund
5 Numbers – 10% of remaining fund
5 Numbers and Bonus Ball – 16% of remaining fund
6 Numbers – 52% of remaining fund
The Lotto Hotpicks payouts are as follows;
1 Number – £5
2 Numbers – £40
3 Numbers – £450
4 Numbers – £7000

Of course, these games have very low odds of payouts the higher up the prize fund goes, but it’s always worth having a shot as you never know if you’ll get that lucky ticket!

The Thunderball can be quite confusing, especially with the amount of payout systems they use, but all you need to remember is that generally, if you match the Thunderball at least, you’ve won something, so make sure to check your ticket and see if you’ve won any more!
Lastly, the payouts for the Lotto Plus 5 are as follows;
3 Numbers – £2.50
