LIVE Powerball is being drawn · numbers usually here by 4.59am

Responsible play

Lottery games are for people aged 18 and over. Playing should be entertainment you can afford to lose, not a way to make money. Every draw is independent; past results do not affect future draws, and no strategy changes the odds.

Signs that it has stopped being entertainment

  • Spending more than you planned, or more than you can comfortably afford.
  • Chasing a loss with a bigger stake, or entering more draws after a near miss.
  • Hiding how much you spend from people close to you.
  • Feeling anxious, low or irritable when you cannot enter.
  • Borrowing money, or using money meant for bills.

Free, confidential help

  • National Gambling Helpline (GamCare) — 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day, with live chat at gamcare.org.uk
  • BeGambleAware — information, a self-assessment tool and local support at begambleaware.org
  • GAMSTOP — free self-exclusion from British online gambling sites at gamstop.co.uk
  • Gamblers Anonymous — local and online meetings at gamblersanonymous.org.uk
  • NHS gambling services — specialist clinics take self-referrals in much of the UK; search "NHS gambling service" or ask your GP

Family and friends can get support too. GamCare and GamAnon both help people affected by someone else's gambling.

Practical tools

Operators offer deposit limits, spend reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion in account settings. Bank card gambling blocks are available from most UK banks and take effect immediately. Blocking software can restrict gambling sites on your devices.

How this site is designed

We publish results and information only. We do not sell tickets, take bets, link to anywhere that does, or suggest that any set of numbers is better than another. Statistics pages carry a reminder that draws are independent, and we do not use countdowns or alerts designed to prompt an entry.
