Camelot Group has come up with a new September schedule for the National Lottery, hoping to boost sales to help recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Camelot also issued a new lotto rule, as players who match two numbers in “Must be Won” draws will be rewarded with a £5 prize and a Free Lucky Dip, should the main jackpot not be matched by six numbers. Before, the jackpot was shared between cash prize winners.

“In terms of Lotto, the changes we made a couple of years ago are continuing to prove really popular,” said Camelot’s Commercial Director, Neil Brocklehurst.
