If you’re still waiting for those numbers to come up on the National Lottery then how about playing for free on the net. Although the chances remain slim that you win a nice retirement sum, at least the draws are free and usually you win something every now and again. There are a few of you whom seem to be quite lucky with these sites having won 100 big ones! The good thing is that nearly all are FREE to play, have short registration processes and you can win prizes from £100 - £500,000!!
Bananalotto www.bananalotto.co.uk - One of the best free online banana themed lottery there is (No surprises there!). Just pick 6 numbers and 1 bonus number and click on a banner to submit, the prizes are awarded for 4 (£5), 5 (£50), 6(£10,000) and 6 + bonus ball(£100,000). It's easy to register and it doesn't take long to play, we recommend this one although the top prize has been reduced from a million to £100,000. Still, it is free and a 100k won’t go amiss!
Kingolotto www.kingolotto.co.uk - A 100% free UK lottery with a range of prizes to win. There is no purchase necessary to play, no registration fee is required and the programme offers 10 free lottery grids every day thanks to daily & special draws, including aHoliday Worth £8,000, aYears salary (£15,000), MP3 players, DVDs and vouchers.
Loopy Lotto www.loopylotto.com - This lottery is available in the UK and US only. The usual applies, pick 6 numbers and 1 bonus number from a choice of 49, then click on an ad banner to enter. The top prize is £1,000,000 for correctly picking all 7 numbers. The prizes have changed and you no longer can win 50p for matching 3 or more numbers, instead you win 40 Eurmiles for 3 numbers and £10 for 4 or more (This is probably different for U.S. players). These Eurmiles can be used with Loopy Lotto’s affiliate site, Eurmiles.com, where you can earn yourself free flights, probably not that much use, but at least you can now earn more money for 4 numbers. You can play up to 3 times a day and more if you refer friends, which is nice. Despite the loss of the 50 pence prize this is still highly recommended, a must join.
Lotto 24 www.lotto24.co.uk - Here you choose the 5 numbers which you think are the winning-combination and the prizes are of course tax free...
Lucky Surf www.luckysurf.co.uk - Yet another nice looking lottery, pick 7 numbers from a choice of 50 for a chance to win the £500,000 Jackpot. Other prizes are £100 for 6 numbers and a £5 amazon.co.uk gift voucher for 5 numbers. Simple to sign up and the time taken to enter is minimal, not the best chance of winning a prize but probably worth a go. We checked their site and to date, they have had over 3 million winners since their website was launched in September 1999!!!

The top prize is £100,000 and you can play twice a day. This is another good little game and although we're not aware any of you winning that 100k prize we would still highly recommend this one.
Striker Million www.strikermillion.com - Another great free lottery from the Daily Draw team with a football theme (that’s soccer to you Philistines who have stolen the word football to apply to a silly game where you mainly use your hands). The lottery itself is exactly the same as The Daily Draw, pick 6 numbers out of 64, prizes include: 4 numbers = £10; 5 = £1,000; 6 = £1,000,000. You can play this game twice a day and there is also a scratch card game called “Golden Balls” (Don’t think this is sponsored by David Beckham, but you never know!) where you have an extra chance to win. If you have the time, then you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, well worth joining.
