It feels like a long time and so much has happened since the 49's was suspended on 22nd March.
Thankfully, though, the excitement will return soon with the 49’s draw set to return on 15th June as the new normality beckons!
Ready for some good news guys?

We've been informed that shops will be reopening on the 15th June which is when full 49's services will resume.
We look forward to being back on your screens and really appreciate your patience over this period!
But what have our favourite 49's presenters been up to with no 49’s action to enjoy? Well, thanks to the power of social media, we’ve been able to stay up-to-day with our favourite 49’s presenters.
Here’s how Sophie, Kirstie, Emma and Harriet have been spending their time during the lockdown...
Sophie Tozer
The former MUTV presenter seems to have been having a lot of relaxing fun while the 49’s has been on hold.
Sophie has loved watching the Michael Jordan-inspired, The Last Dance, on Netflix and she’s also treated herself with some delicious takeaway pizza!
The Last Dance on Netflix... Michael Jordan.. Wow!! The hard work, determination and drive... just incredible. So inspiring 🙌🏼 Brilliant series.

But it has not been all sofa time for Sophie. She has also been spending time outside and enjoying the fantastic weather - both in her garden and taking in some beautiful walks in the stunning Cheshire countryside.

Of course, though, she can’t wait to get back to work in the 49’s studio and presenting the latest 49’s lotto results!
I miss work... hopefully it’s not too much longer 🙏 and we can get back in that @Bet49s studio. What would be your first bet type and what numbers? pic.twitter.com/hbUR16Yof4

Kirstie Beckman
Kirstie’s also been enjoying the record-breaking British weather during the lockdown and has spent no shortage of time outdoors and also topping up her summer tan.
She’s been feeding horses, playing gladiators with her kids in the garden and enjoying lots of walks in the countryside. And it looks like she has had a great time while doing so!
Emma Redman
Like Sophie, Emma has also been enjoying watching The Last Dance on Netflix during the lockdown.
Have you ever watched a series and just NEVER wanted it to end? #thelastdance was just brilliant, Michael Jordan even more so! Bravo @Netflix what gem of a binge watch are you next gonna throw at us?

Emma’s also been getting into the spirit of early British summer, decorating her house for VE day as part of the festivities.
Happy VE Day 🇬🇧

Enjoy the celebrations...at home! “To those who gave so much...thank you” 🇬🇧🌈 pic.twitter.com/5PzBJAtwqc
Indeed, she has been having a great relax and unwind at home, chilling out with some lovely wine, sunshine and spending time with her family.

Harriet Muckle
Now Harriet has been very busy during lockdown!
She’s been hosting Zumba classes on Instagram, competing in some "Harriet v Karla" challenge with Manchester City and, of course, has been coming up with some awesome TikToks.

49's Returns on 15th June
It seems like it has been forever, but 49’s lotto betting action will finally return on 15th June!
If you want to blow off the cobwebs in the meantime, though, you can still bet on Irish Lotto at the likes of Betfred, bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral and Boyle Sports – with some seriously big cash prizes up for grabs.
