49's Payout Guide

A common misconception surrounding the 49’s Lotto is that it’s a traditional lottery (like the UK National Lottery) where you purchase a ticket and get a set payout depending on how many balls you match — i.e. Match 3 numbers from 6 selections to win £30.

49’s is a Bet, Not a Ticket Purchase

This has three significant differences:

1. Select number of balls to bet on before the draw — unlike the National Lottery where you pick 6 numbers and can win from matching 2 or more numbers, with the 49’s you select how many numbers to bet on prior to the draw (e.g. 3 numbers).
2. The odds vary depending on how many numbers you choose - For example, 3 numbers for 700/1, 4 numbers for 10,000/1, etc.
3. Your stake is your choice. You can bet from as little as 1 pence at some bookmakers.

These points mean that 49’s payout is different depending on your bet.
