You should use the national lottery tickets to choose 6 numbers on a line for the wednesday or Saturday draws. Each line cost a pound and you need at least 3 right to get a return. If you cannot be bothered to fill out the ticket or you cannot choose 6 numbers between 1 and 49 the you just go to the counter and ask for a lucky dip, this means the computer will choose the numbers for you at random. You can ask for as many lucky dips as you want. For example 3 lucky dips will cost you £3.00 and all three lines will be displayed on your ticket for you to check. Good luck!!!!
