Direct Debit
Play by Direct Debit and never miss a draw
Simply select 'By Direct Debit' on your play slip when you play any of the following games:
How it works
It's quick and easy to set up. Simply select 'By Direct Debit' when choosing the number of weeks to play on your Lotto, EuroMillions, or Thunderball play slip(s).
We'll store your play slips and, once it's all up and running, enter you into your chosen draws. And you'll be able to view your tickets, including your raffle numbers, at any time in 'My games'. It takes around 4 weeks to set up your Direct Debit so we'll let you know the start date straight away.
And if you'd like to enter draws before your Direct Debit starts, that's easy too. Just complete another play slip for the game you want to play, then select the number of weeks to cover your entries until your Direct Debit begins.
What do I need?
You'll need to sign in to your National Lottery account, or set one up if you don't have one.
Then, all you need is your bank sort code and account number and we'll take it from there. It should take less than 5 minutes.
How do I view my tickets and change my details?
Sign in to 'My account' to view all the tickets you have played, your Direct Debit schedule and results and to make changes to your details.
What if I win?
We'll let you know by email and we'll pay winnings up to and including £50,000 straight into your bank account.
If you’re lucky enough to win more than £50,000, we will ask you to call us to arrange claiming your prize in person.
