National Lottery unveils major £2 Lotto overhaul – and players can now win twice | UK | News

Tickets for the National Lottery’s new Lotto game, which gives players two chances to win for every £2 line, are on sale. This means Brits now have the chance to win in one round, the other or both rounds from a single Lotto draw.

The National Lottery draw, which will be held every Wednesday and Saturday evening at 20.00, will be held in a two-round format from now on. Under the new format, there will be two sets of six main numbers and a bonus ball drawn using two separate machines. The players do not need to make any changes and will continue to pick six figures from 59 balls.
