| UK National Lottery Facts: |
| |
The current UK National Lottery was launched on Monday 14th November 1994 after a consortium, Camelot plc won the bid to run the UK National Lottery. This makes the the UK National Lottery unique amongst European national lotteries because it is run by a private company rather than the state.
Other important Lottery dates:
- Moses used a lottery to award land west of the River Jordan.
- 1515: Six names were drawn for election to the Senate in Genoa, Italy; later the names were changed to numbers. The word "lottery" is believed to come from the Italian word "lotto", meaning destiny or fate.
- 1567: Queen Elizabeth I establishes the first English state lottery. Prizes include cash, plate, and tapestry, with 400,000 tickets offered for sale.
- 1726: The Netherlands formed what is now the oldest lottery still in operation.
- 1753: A lottery is held in England for the establishment of the British Museum.

How it Works: |
| The terminals scan a playslip containing 7 boards (between 1 and 7 boards can be played per playslip) and register any vertical strokes through 6 of the 49 numbers on each board. If the customer confirms this is OK, a ticket is printed (including a printed checksum of course) containing your sets of 6 numbers, the draw date range that the numbers apply to and the total cost of the ticket.

| The exact value of your prize depends on the number of lottery tickets sold and the number of people who match the same numbers as yours. Three matching numbers will always win £10, except in the extremely unlikely event that the prize fund can't cover the minimum payout. In such an instance, the prize fund would simply be split equally between all prize winners.
