For those who love testing their luck and believe in the magic of lucky numbers, the UK 49s lottery is a top choice. Known across the globe and very popular in Ghana, the UK 49s offers punters two chances every single day to bet and win big. Originating in the United Kingdom and first launched in 1994, this lottery continues to attract number lovers with its simple structure, multiple betting options, and great odds.

PrideSpins features the UK 49s as part of its
international lucky numbers betting offering. Hence as a PrideSpins players you have now full access to the excitement. This guide will walk you through how to bet on the UK 49s draw and what makes this lottery so special.

About the UK 49’s Lottery

The UK 49s is a twice-daily lottery draw that uses 49 numbered balls, hence the name. Each draw involves 6 main numbers and a 7th “Booster” ball, which serves as the bonus number. Players can choose to bet with or without the inclusion of this bonus ball.

There are two daily draws:

UK 49’s Lunchtime draw, taking place at 12:49pm UK time, so currently 11:49am Ghana time.

UK 49’s Teatime draw, taking place at 5:49pm UK time (4:49pm in Ghana)

That means 14 draws a week and therefore 14 chances to try your luck. Betting on both is usually open until a few minutes before the draw happens. To make it easier for you each lottery has a countdown clock displayed so you know which draw is up next and how much time you have left to place your bets.

What’s great is that you don’t have to be in the UK to participate. With
PrideSpins you can join in and place your bets directly on the outcomes.

Prediction Tools and Hot/Cold Numbers

Since the UK 49s is a numbers game, the outcome of each draw is unpredictable and random. Nevertheless, many punters like to look at Hot and Cold Numbers to guide their picks. Hot Numbers are the numbers that appeared more frequently in recent draws while Cold Numbers haven’t shown up for a while. At PrideSpins these stats are displayed for the last 18 draws, making it easier to strategize. However, keep in mind, every number always has an equal chance. There are also prediction websites out there, but no prediction can ever guarantee a win. It’s all about luck and timing!
