How does this work for the Lottery?

For the National lottery, is it possible buy two of the same tickets ie choose the balls 1,10,20,30,40,50 two times for Lotto or some other draw game and if you somehow win one of their prizes whether its a small prize or the jackpot you get paid twice over?

You can buy two tickets with the same numbers but you create an admin headache on the vanishingly small chance you win. The jjackpot is shared between number of winning tickets, regardless of who owns the ticket, you don’t get two lots for two tickets.

Those bastards haven’t let me win yet, and I need the money.

If you have two tickets then you'll win two prizes.

If you win the jackpot and no one else does each ticket will win half of the jackpot.

If each ticket has winning numbers then each ticket will win a prize. Nothing to stop you filling out ten tickets with the same numbers.

I believe it has happened before, that someone accidentally bought two tickets with the same numbers. The prize had more than one wonder, so they increased their share of the prize.
