To think my lotto lucky dip is wrong

[Charliefarlie1192]

There are only 6 numbers on my ticket is that right? The results show 6 numbers plus bonus ball I'm very confised

Is this the first time you've done the Lottery?

Ha ha

There is meant to be six numbers. Top prize is all six numbers (then bonus ball is irrelevant) but there is also a high prize for 5 or 4 plus bonus

Your ticket is right.

If you match all six of yours to the MAIN six on the result, you win the jackpot (or a share of it).

If you match any five of yours PLUS the bonus ball, you also win a big prize (but less than the jackpot)

That may not be the best way of explaining it, but hope it makes sense

Oops - took so long to type and x-posted

Oh my god I am thick

I havent played for years!

Have you played Euro Millions lately because that's slightly different where you pick 5 numbers and then two bonus numbers. You could be getting the two mixed up.

You're not the only one - I spent ages trying to explain to someone how its not possible to get all seven balls once
