UK Lotto results 2010

Since 10 June 2026 every £2 UK Lotto line plays two rounds. More winners, smaller fixed prizes – here is what 28 draw nights actually paid.

We played 3,000 random lines in every draw of eight lotteries, at the prizes each draw really paid and the ticket prices of the day. The typical line got back 16 to 34 cents per euro.

Twenty-two million Britons watched the first draw on a single Saturday night in November 1994. Three decades later a Czech-owned company runs the franchise, the draw machines are named after Arthurian knights, and the game has paid out over £48 billion to good causes — here is how it all came together.
