Bonus Ball = the 7th ball drawn in the official UK National Lottery Lotto draw (six main balls, then the Bonus Ball).

Entries close 7:30pm (UK time) on the draw day (Wednesday or Saturday, as shown). If a competition hasn’t sold out by closing time, it may roll over to the next applicable draw.

If no entry matches the Bonus Ball, the outcome is handled as stated in the Rules (for example, rollover or an alternative method).

We reference publicly available results for transparency. TheBonusBall is not affiliated with or endorsed by The National Lottery.
