How it works
Its super simple – Every Friday we draw a new number, the more numbers you match in order, the more you win.
For each £1 play we will give you a unique 6-digit number, like a lucky dip.
A match occurs if all the digits are in the same place in the sequence as they are in the winning number
This ticket matched 4 numbers so won £25 – Not bad for £1, eh?
