How to play The Health Lottery

Picking your numbers

Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50.

The Bonus Ball is drawn from the same balls after the main numbers. You don't choose it: it only counts in the prize tiers that name it.

Draws are held every day.

In short: Pick 5 numbers (1 to 50). Rows marked "plus Bonus" also need the bonus ball.

The prize tiers

What each tier paid in the draw on Thu 8 Oct 2026. Most prizes change with ticket sales and the number of winners; the fixed ones stay the same.

Checking a ticket

Compare your numbers with the draw's numbers on the The Health Lottery results page, or let the Lottery Results app do it: scan the ticket with your camera, or save your numbers once and every draw is checked for you, with an alert when the results are in.

Always confirm a win with the operator or an official retailer before discarding a ticket. Lottery Results is independent and can't see your tickets or pay prizes.
