Free UK Lotto checking guide
Check your UK Lotto numbers against recorded results
Have six UK Lotto numbers you play regularly? Compare them with recorded Wednesday and Saturday results, review historical matches and explore the difference between one line and a nine-number system.
How to check your Lotto numbers
- Choose six different numbers from 1 to 59. Use the number picker on our homepage.
- Check the recorded draw results. Our checker compares your selection with available UK Lotto history and shows matched numbers.
- Review each round separately. UK Lotto now draws Round 1 and Round 2 on the same draw night. Your matches in one round do not combine with those in the other.
- Save your regular line in My Lotto. Registered users can track their saved selections and choose whether they play on Wednesdays, Saturdays or both.
Important: This is an independent historical-results checker, not an official prize or ticket validation service. Always verify a possible prize against your valid ticket and the official National Lottery rules.
Wednesday and Saturday Lotto results: what changed in 2026?
From the first two-round draw on 10 June 2026, a £2 UK Lotto line receives a separate check against two sets of six main numbers and a Bonus Ball on each draw night. You can match numbers in Round 1, Round 2 or both. The numbers are assessed within each round, never added across rounds to create a match.
Older Lotto draw records used a different single-round format. When comparing historical results, use the prize rules and number of rounds that applied on the date of that draw.
Why save the same six Lotto numbers?
If you keep playing a favourite six-number selection, My Lotto offers a convenient way to return to it rather than re-entering the numbers each visit. You can review recorded matches and, where you have enabled supported alerts, receive a notification when a new result is ready for checking. Notifications do not confirm a winning ticket or trigger prize payments.
What about checking nine numbers?
Our educational System 9 demonstration shows every possible six-number line from a chosen set of nine: 84 distinct combinations, because 9 choose 6 equals 84. At £2 per line, playing all 84 lines would cost £168 per draw. The demonstration illustrates coverage, not improved predictions or a guarantee of any prize.
