Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to read a lottery result, including people using a screen reader, a magnifier, a keyboard alone or a phone in bright sunlight.

The standard we work to

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. In practice that means:

  • Body text at 18 pixels by default, with a larger-text toggle that increases everything by a quarter and remembers your choice.
  • Contrast above the required ratios in both the light and dark themes, and the theme follows your device setting unless you override it.
  • A visible focus outline on every control, and every control reachable with the keyboard alone.
  • A skip link to the main content as the first item on every page.
  • Results announced to screen readers when they update, so a live page does not change silently.
  • A "read numbers aloud" button on draw pages where your browser supports speech.

Numbers never rely on colour

A bonus or extra ball is marked with a dashed outline and a text label, not just a different colour. A matched number carries a tick and the word "matched" for screen readers. Tables have proper headers and captions, so a screen reader can announce which column a figure belongs to.

Known limitations

  • Advertising is supplied by a third party and we do not control its markup.
  • Some very wide statistics tables scroll horizontally on small screens; the same figures are available in the summary above each table.
