There are so many lotteries around the world that could make players millionaires. Some of these are in Scotland. However, when compared to other lotteries with high jackpots, lotto Scotland jackpots seem small. This could discourage players because it makes more sense to play lotteries with jackpots worth millions of euros.
Yet, there is an advantage to these lotto Scotland jackpots. Because they are small, lots of players don’t pay attention to them. This means that if you play any of these lotteries in Scotland, you have better odds of winning the jackpot.
Yes, you have to be resident in Scotland to enter most of these lotto Scotland games. However, you can buy your tickets online through agents and participate in the games. So, if you would like to give Scotland lotteries a try, then here are some you should consider.
Scottish children’s lottery
The Scottish children’s lottery is a charity lottery that was established to fund charities that focus on children in Scotland. So, if you are interested in gambling with a good cause, this lottery provides a good opportunity. To play this lottery, you need to pick five numbers from 1 to 49. You win a prize for matching any number and, the jackpot when you match all five numbers.
This lotto Scotland lottery has six prize tiers with a jackpot prize of £25,000. If there is no winner, the prize rolls over to the next week and keeps rolling over until there is a winner. However, the jackpot amount is limited to a maximum of £100,000 per draw. Thus, if multiple players win the jackpot, they split the £100,000.
The odds of winning a prize in the Scottish children’s lottery is 1 in 6. Although the payout is not much, you have higher odds of winning than in lotteries with higher jackpots. Plus, players have a chance to contribute to a good cause.
Enter lotto Scotland postcode lottery
So, the postcode lottery is not technically a lotto Scotland lottery. That is, it is not limited to Scotland alone. It is called People’s Postcode Lottery and is a Great Britain subscription lottery. This is another charity-driven lottery that raises funds to support charities. It is subscription-based and costs £10 to subscribe. Also, players need to use their postcodes to subscribe to this lottery.
Interestingly, individuals do not win prizes. It is the postcode that wins the jackpot. If your postcode wins, then the jackpot prize is shared by every player in that postcode. The amount could get as high as £31 million and, all the players in the winning postcode will share the prize.
This lottery is available to players in Scotland. Unlike other lotteries, players pay a subscription fee of £10 every month. And, the prize is shared by players, no matter how many they are. Understandably, this could discourage some players from entering this lottery. However, it is for a good cause and, you never know when the postcode you registered with might win.
Scottish Heritage lottery
This is a little-known lottery with a weekly draw of £500, with a rollover of £5,000. Yes, it is not a large sum, but it also means that the competition is less. You have higher odds of winning this lottery than EuroMillions, for instance. Also, there are two other prizes of £50 and £10 that players can win.
Whether you are from Scotland or love Scotland, this is a good chance to support a good cause. The proceeds from this lottery go to help to preserve Scottish heritage. In addition, you could win a nice sum.
You can enter this lottery as many times as you want and, it costs only £1 per entry. The odds of winning a prize in this lotto Scotland lottery is 1 in 229.
