Lotto HotPicks was newly introduced by The National Lottery in February 2011. It is really 5 games in one which you will understand once you know how it works.
Using the main Lotto draw numbers, a player selects how many of the drawn numbers they want to ‘pick’. If a player chooses to ‘pick’ 3 numbers, they would select 3 numbers from the Lotto pool of numbers from 1 to 49. For that ticket to win all three of their numbers would have had to be drawn in the Lotto draw. There is no prize in Lotto HotPicks for matching any less than all the numbers you ‘pick’.
Obviously the more numbers you ‘pick’ the greater the potential prize.
The table below shows you the prizes given for matching each ‘pick’ and the odds against you doing so.
| Game | You Match | You win | odds |
| HotPick 1 | 1 number | £5 | 1 in 9 |
| HotPick 2 | 2 numbers | £40 | 1 in 79 |
| HotPick 3 | 3 numbers | £450 | 1 in 922 |
| HotPick 4 | 4 numbers | £7,000 | 1 in 14,126 |
| HotPick 5 | 5 numbers | £130,000 | 1 in 317,814 |
Each ticket into Lotto HotPicks draws costs £1.
These odds aren’t great but can be drastically reduced by having more entries into the Lotto draw. Great advice I hear you say, but what if I can’t afford more entries. Well that’s where we can help. Sign up to FreeNationalLotteryTickets and you will be able to get free tickets into all the Lotto and EuroMillions draws totally free. There’s no catch, read our FAQS to see how it works.
The most convenient way to buy tickets for Lotto HotPicks is to open an account with the National Lottery and buy your tickets online. Not only is it easy, but you can set up a ticket that will play for 8 continuous weeks. You will then receive a reminder to tell you when your ticket is expiring and prompting you to get a new one. That mean you never have to miss a draw again. If you’re not sure which numbers to select, you can choose a lucky dip, or, if you like a little bit more control than that, why not let our Lotto Number Generator chose the numbers for you. If you don’t like what it throws up, simply try again. The National Lottery will call off funds from your bank account monthly to pay for your tickets and thereafter everything is taken care of. You don’t even have to check your results because if you are lucky enough to win, the National Lottery will send you an email advising you and deposit your winnings straight into your account. With £millions worth of prizes going unclaimed each year, playing online is by far the best way to play the lottery.
