THE ESSENTIALS
How to check your ticket
Find the right draw and understand which numbers to compare.
Start with the game and draw date printed on your ticket. The right numbers only matter when you are checking the right draw.
1. Find the right draw
Check the game name and date on your ticket before comparing any numbers. If your ticket covers more than one draw, check each date separately.
2. Compare the numbers carefully
Compare your main numbers against the main numbers in the result. Check any separately labelled bonus balls or Lucky Stars in their own category. If the result has more than one round, check each round separately.
3. Confirm with the official operator
Use the official lottery website or your usual authorised ticket-checking route for confirmation. If anything is unclear, keep your ticket and ask the operator for help.
