How to play on Sky Active

Our interactive TV play slip looks very similar to our paper Lotto play slip. The difference is you input your numbers using your Sky remote.

Follow the instructions below or view our demo

Within The National Lottery service on Sky Active:
1 Select 'Play Lotto' from the menu
2 You'll be taken to a screen where you can enter your numbers into a play slip or choose Lucky Dip using your Sky remote. You can play up to 7 lines of Lotto at a time.
3 Once you have entered your numbers, choose the draw days you would like to play.
4 Next, choose how many weeks you want to play. You can buy up to 8 weeks' worth of tickets at a time.
5 You will be required to sign in using your username and password, and then buy your ticket by pressing the blue button on your Sky remote.
6 You'll be shown a summary of your ticket that The National Lottery keeps safely for you.


You can also go to 'My Lottery Account' then 'View Tickets and Transactions' to see your ticket at any time and find everything else you need to manage your Account.
