Step 1


  • Click on the button that says 'Go to the Lottery Site' to the left



  • At the main page log in to your account by typing your email and password in the login area at the top middle which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left.

Step 2


  • You are logged in and as you can see your Balance at the top which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left. (In this case I have 50 British pounds)


  • Hover your mouse over the ‘Play Online’ button on the top left menu which is marked in a GREEN box on the image to the left. Displayed here you will see some of the biggest lotteries and jackpots in the world.


  • Click on the text at the bottom of this list that says ‘View all 49 Lotteries’ which is marked in a PURPLE box on the image to the left. You will be taken to a page where you can see all the lotteries available.

Step 3


  • Here we have all the lotteries available and they are listed by their respective Jackpot amounts, from the highest to the lowest jackpot, because the middle 'Jackpot' column is selected which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left.

  • You can see the lotteries that are the closest to Draw next by clicking on the Next Draw column which is marked in a GREEN box on the image to the left.

  • You can also view the lotteries Alphabetically from A to Z by clicking the ‘A-Z Lottery’ column which is marked in a PURPLE box on the image to the left.


  • You can see the US Powerball has the highest Jackpot at 180 million dollars and the next draw time is in 2 days and 12 hours. When you choose the lottery you want to play , you need to click on the Orange ‘PLAY’ button next to the Lottery. In this guide we will be buying a US Powerball ticket



Step 4


  • We are on the Lottery ticket page for the US Powerball where we need to choose the Lines and pick our numbers. You first need to pick the amount of Lines you want to play. You can choose 3, 5, 7 10, 15, 20 or 25 lines which are marked in a RED box on the image to the left.


  • The price of the ticket changes depending on the amount of Lines you choose. In this example we choose 5 Lines. At the bottom is the price changes to that of the 5 lines, which is £20 British pounds and 50 cents which is marked in a PURPLE box on the image to the left. This is because each line costs £4 British pounds and 10 cents and we have chosen 5 of these Lines

  • You can have your numbers immediately chosen for you at random, automatically by clicking the button called ‘Quick Pick’ on the top right which is marked in a GREEN box on the image to the left.


  • Choose your ticket numbers. With the US Powerball you have to choose 5 numbers per ticket and also choose another extra number at the bottom from 1 to 26. The numbers I have chosen in this example are:
    Line 1 - 9, 19, 29, 38, 64 and 22 as the extra number
    Line 2 – 6, 19, 35, 44, 58 and 6 as the extra number
    Line 3 – 2, 4, 26, 53, 56 and 14 as the extra number
    Line 4 – 8, 23, 31, 40, 62 and 25 as the extra number
    Line 5 – 5, 8, 57, 50, 69 and 17 as the extra number


  • After choosing all the numbers on the 5 Lines, you need to press the Orange button with the text ‘PLAY’ on it on the bottom right to continue with the numbers chosen



Step 5


  • You are taken to a new page with the details of the Lottery ticket chosen, the price and the numbers chosen also. Review these numbers and make sure they are correct


  • At the bottom it shows the amount that will be deducted from the balance which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left. £20 British pounds and 50 cents will be deducted in this example


  • Click on the Orange ‘CONFIRM’ button on the bottom right.


Step 6


  • You are now on the confirmation page. You have the text indicating that you have successfully purchased a Lottery ticket and the confirmation number of your ticket which are marked in a RED box on the image to the left.
    This confirmation number and lottery ticket numbers you have chosen will automatically be sent to you on the email in your account.


  • The Balance at the top is now £29 British pounds and 50 cents which is marked in a PURPLE box on the image to the left. This is because the ticket price was deducted from the previous Balance of £50 British pounds

  • Click on the ‘My Account’ text which is marked in a GREEN box on the image to the left. You will be taken to your account and see the ticket purchased


Step 7


  • In your Account you can see under Entries there is the Lottery ticket which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left. In this example it is the US Powerball ticket listed.



  • Click this entry so that you can see more information about this lottery ticket

Step 8


  • On this entry page at the top you can see the details of the Lottery ticket and draw date which are marked in a ORANGE box on the image to the left.


  • The lottery ticket numbers chosen are shown in the middle and marked in a PURPLE box on the image to the left.

  • Under the chosen numbers, there is a winning numbers area which is marked in a GREEN box on the image to the left. When the lottery is drawn and the numbers are out, these will be shown here. You can come back here and view them or set up a Results Alert.


  • On the top right under the text ‘Your Ticket’ you will see a scanned image of the actual ticket the Lottery website has bought for you which is marked in a RED box on the image to the left. You can click on the ticket image to open a larger display of it.
    Please note that this scanned image will not be available immediately. Since this lottery website actually buys a real ticket, they will need some time to purchase the ticket and scan it into this account. You will need to return to this area in a few hours to see the scanned Ticket.


  • You have successfully bought a Lottery ticket online.
    This process can obviously be repeated as many times as you want, on any other Lottery available, whenever you want to buy more lottery tickets and play other Lotteries online from around the world
