Lottery winner Michael Ellis reveals how he won £5.3k for FREE, while we reveal your chances of winning each lottery game LOTTO FUN The lotteries with the best odds for YOU to win – from £1million jackpot to £100k prize Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN it comes to the lottery, they say you need to be in it to win it - but which top prize are YOU most likely to win? From the National Lottery with mega £1million jackpots to the £100k lotto with the best odds, top experts reveal the best games to enter and those you need to avoid. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 11 Winning the lottery is everyone's dream - but which games are worth playing? Credit: Getty The National Lottery sells tickets for big games like Lotto and the Euromillions, but there are other lotteries too, like free postcode lotteries, charity lotteries, and bank prize draws. Some 36% of adults bought a lottery ticket over the past month according to a Gambling Commission survey published in July last year. Of those players, 31% bought a National Lottery ticket, making these games by far the most popular. But which ones are worth it? We reveal the odds of winning, T&Cs to watch out for, and rank them in terms of whether they're worth playing or not. In some cases, you have a higher chance of being struck by lightning and killed - which is one in 33million - than winning. We've given our marks out of 10 for each game based on if it's worth playing, and our verdict too. Premium Bonds 11 Premium Bonds are like a lottery for your savings - and best of all, you don't lose any money Credit: Getty A bit different from a lottery, Premium Bonds are a type of savings account, but instead of earning interest, every £1 you save gets you an entry into a monthly draw with prizes of up to £1 million. It's run by National Savings & Investment, a bank backed by the British government, and you'll need a minimum of £25 to open an account. You don't have to pay to enter either. Premium Bonds have a 'prize fund rate' which is an estimate of how much you should win based on the amount you have saved, and this is currently 3.6%. But there are no guarantees, and you might never win anything. However, even if this is the case, you'll still get your original money back, unlike other lotteries. Also unlike other lotteries, you can hold Premium Bonds from age 16, and parents can also hold them on behalf of their children. Prizes range from £25 and £50, up to two monthly jackpots of £1 million. The chances of winning any prize is 22,000 to one, and the chance of winning the jackpot is about 60 billion to one. The fact you don't lose any money is appealing, according to 'Premium Bonds are always worth a look. You're not risking your money, and while the odds of a big win are slim, there's a steady flow of smaller prizes and no real downside.' ODDS: 22,000 to 1 for every £1 bond TOP PRIZE: £1million WORTH PLAYING? 9/10 OUR VERDICT: Plenty of prizes and you won't lose any money - though you might never win anything Bank prize draws 11 Customers will be sad to hear Halifax will be withdrawing its bank prize draw Credit: Getty September marks the final Halifax Savers Prize draw. The monthly competition, which has been running since 2011, gave customers the chance to grab up to £100,000. Other banks still offer chances to pocket some free cash though. Kent Reliance customers who are over 18 and have savings of at least £100 or a mortgage of more than £1,000 with the bank are entered into a monthly draw to win £1,000. The app-based bank Chip offers a digital prize savings account, which pays no interest but enters you into a monthly draw. The number of entries you get depends on your average account balance - £10 gets you one entry. The amount up for grabs varies, but in July the top prize was £50,000 and there were 500 prizes of £10 plus 4,000 prizes of £5. Don't just pick a bank account based on the potential prize winnings. Consider customer service, how good its app is, and whether you could earn more with a top-paying savings account instead. 'Bank-run draws, like the one Halifax offered, are surprisingly decent because not everyone knew about them and fewer participants usually means better odds,' says ODDS: In most cases, odds change each month depending on who enters TOP PRIZE: £50k WORTH PLAYING? 8/10 OUR VERDICT: Fewer participants might mean better odds of winning - but remember that you could earn more through a savings account with the same bank. People's Postcode Lottery 11 Mum-of-two Brenda shared £1million with three neighbours in Chorley, Manchester, in the People's Postcode Lottery Credit: Postcode Lottery To win this one you'll need your postcode to be drawn - if yours is chosen, every person in your postcode who is signed up shares the winnings. To play, you'll need a subscription, which costs £12.25 a month and gets you entry into every draw, so this is not a good option for anyone watching the pennies. There are 20 draws each month, with prizes including vouchers, gift cards and small cash sums, but the big one is the Millionaire Street Prize on a Saturday, where players in the winning postcode get a share of at least £1 million. The maximum an individual can win is £500,000. It says the odds of winning depends on the number of postcodes and entries into each draw, but in June 20.51% of playing postcodes won a prize. At least 30% of the ticket price goes to charities such as the Trussell Trust and Royal British Legion. 'The postcode lottery adverts make it look simple, but did you realise there are about 1.8 million different postcodes in the UK? It's not just the first two letters that need to be picked out, it's the full postcode,' says Hagger. ODDS: Depends, but 20.51% won a prize in June TOP PRIZE: £500k WORTH PLAYING? 7/10 OUR VERDICT: With so many draws, the chances of winning something feel achievable but the high monthly subscription cost may be off-putting The Health Lottery 11 The odds of winning the Health Lottery are one in 2.1 million This one aims to raise money for health-related good causes across the UK, with about 20p of £1 going towards community projects, charities and more. There are seven Big Win draws each week. Five of them have a top prize of £25,000 - it costs £1 to enter each of these, and this automatically gets you entry into the two weekly superdraws with top prizes of £100,000. The Health Lottery claims to offer the best odds of winning out of any UK lottery, but the chances of getting the top prize are still quite slim at one in 2.1 million. ODDS: 1 in 2.1million TOP PRIZE: £100,000 WORTH PLAYING? 6/10 OUR VERDICT: It claims to have the best jackpot odds of any lottery - it could be worth a shot. Pick my Postcode 11 Pick my Postcode is free to enter, but it requires a lot of effort Credit: pick my postcode lottery Formerly known as the Free Postcode Lottery, the main appeal of this one is that it is free to enter. Pick my Postcode is funded by advertising so you don't have to part with any cash for the prospect of winning, you just need a registered UK postcode and an email address - but it does require a bit of effort. There are various draws each day - the 'main', 'survey', 'video' and 'bonus' draws - with prizes starting from £5, and a midday draw offering £200. You win if your postcode is drawn - but you'll need to check online everyday to see if you've been lucky, as you have to claim your prize by midday the next day or the money is rolled over. It's therefore a lot of effort to play - and there is a chance that you win, but forget to claim your prize if you don't log on. If multiple winners with the same postcode claim the prize, the pot is split. While the prizes are smaller than other lotteries, if they aren't claimed, they can soon rack up. The firm says it has more than 3 million members and has so far given away over £3million to 37,000 winners. The odds of winning are about 1 in 27,000 - which is similar odds to getting between three and four numbers on the Euromillions. ODDS: 1 in 27,000 TOP PRIZE: Largest prize won was £8,660 WORTH PLAYING? 6/10 OUR VERDICT: It's free to enter, but actually winning requires a fair amount of effort and the jackpot isn't life changing. Should you buy more tickets? YOU'VE got to be in it to win it. Most lotteries work by selling tickets. Every time you buy a ticket the odds of winning increase. But WARNING - only spend what you can afford. At the end of the day, it's down to luck. This is why some people prefer to be part of a syndicate, where multiple tickets are bought. While this means you'll have to share the pot, the odds become more favourable each ticket you buy. While lotteries are easy and fun to play, and offer the chance to win life-changing sums, it is important to gamble responsibly. 'If you are going to play a lottery look at the provider website and terms and conditions first. Get an idea of the number of prizes on offer and your chance of winning - don't simply fritter your cash away based on the TV hype,' says Hagger. For those concerned about gambling, there is support available from organisations such as GamCare, Gamble Aware and StepChange. Lotto (National Lottery) 11 Lotto is the oldest National Lottery game, and you can play every Wednesday and Saturday Credit: Getty The original lottery, now known as Lotto, was launched in 1994 as a way to make members of the general public overnight millionaires while raising money for good causes. A chunk of the ticket sales goes to funding sports, arts, health, education and more. Entry costs £2 and there are draws on Wednesday and Saturday. Simply pick six numbers from 1-59, which are drawn at random, and hope for a match. Prizes range from a free lucky dip for matching two numbers or £30 for three numbers, up to £1 million for matching five numbers and the bonus ball, or the jackpot for matching all six. This month, the jackpot was £8.7 million but the biggest ever was £66 million, won in January 2016. But while the prizes are big, the chances of winning are not - the odds of getting the jackpot are just one in 45 million. The chance of matching two numbers is one in 10.3. Andrew Hagger, founder of Moneycomms, a financial advice website, says: 'Buying national lottery tickets or scratchcards might seem harmless, but they are a form of gambling and for some people it could eventually lead them to playing online bingo, slots and casino games where the losses can stack up very quickly.' ODDS: 1 in 45million for winning jackpot TOP PRIZE: Biggest prize was £66 million WORTH PLAYING? 6/10 OUR VERDICT: The odds of hitting the big time are minuscule. Other National Lottery games 11 The EuroMillions gives players the chance of winning a mega prize - the biggest jackpot was £208million Credit: Getty The popularity of the Lotto has seen the National Lottery launch other draws. The Thunderball costs £1 to enter, with a top prize of £500,000. There is a one in 8 million chance of winning the jackpot, according to and a one in 29 chance of winning the lowest prize of £3 for matching the Thunderball number. Meanwhile, Set for Life costs £1.50 and promises the winner £10,000 a month for 30 years. The chance of scooping the jackpot is one in 15.3 million, while the odds of getting the second prize (£10,000 a month for a year) is one in 1.7 million. In the Euromillions, there are serious sums of money up for grabs. The biggest prize which has ever been up for grabs was worth £208million, and was won by a lucky Irish ticket holder. But the game is played across nine countries, including the UK, Switzerland and Spain, so the odds are even slimmer - the chance of winning the jackpot is almost one in 140 million. A spokesperson for a gambling advice site, says: 'When it comes to prize draws and lotteries, a lot of people get swept up in the dream and forget to ask the basic question: is this actually worth entering? 'Look at how many prizes are actually on offer: if there's one shiny jackpot and that's it, chances are your odds aren't brilliant. I'd rather a draw that offers a good spread—hundreds or thousands of chances to win—even if the top prize isn't as flashy.' ODDS: Best odds are 1 in 8 for Thunderball; worst odds are 1 in 140million for EuroMillions TOP PRIZE: Biggest prize was £208million for Euromillions last month WORTH PLAYING? 5/10 OUR VERDICT: Lottery games have expanded into something for everyone - the odds are incredibly slim but we love the idea of winning the Set for Life. Charity Lotteries 11 RSPB offers the best odds of winning in the charity games we list Credit: Handout Plenty of charities run lotteries, and you don't need to be a member to sign up. For example, the RSPB lottery costs £1 to enter and is drawn every Friday, with 35 cash prizes ranging from £10 to £1,000. It says 60% of the money raised goes towards supporting wildlife and nature reserves. The chance of winning any prize is about one in 240. It also holds a summer raffle with a top prize of £10,000. Another example is the British Heart Foundation Weekly Flutter Lottery. There are 200 prizes in each draw, ranging from £5 to the top prize of £1,000. Some 20% of the ticket sales go towards funding the charity's research. It says the chance of winning a prize is one in 447. Other charities that run lotteries include Oxfam, the NSPCC, MS Society, MacMillan and Age UK. Hagger says: 'Charity run lotteries tend to have smaller prize pots but if funds raised help a charity that's dear to your heart, then maybe you're less concerned if you don't win.' ODDS: Depends on the game - best odds are 1 in 240 for RSPB TOP PRIZE: £10,000 WORTH PLAYING? 5/10 OUR VERDICT: A good way to support your favourite charity with the chance of a cash prize - but the jackpots are lower than other lotteries. Omaze 11 Omaze has built a huge following of players - but is it worth it? Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk A monthly raffle to win a fully-furnished dream home in an iconic UK location, plus £250,000 cash. Omaze has given away properties in London, the Lake District and Bath to name just a few. Winners can live in the house, rent it out or sell up and pocket the cash. The odds of winning vary as it depends on how many entries are received. From August, Omaze subscribers will also be entered into a Omaze Monthly Millionaire draw, with a £1 million prize. Those with a £15 subscription get 100 entries, while a £50 subscription gets you 640 entries. 'The entry cost versus the payout is important to consider. Some draws ask for £10, £20, or more per entry, and if there's only a handful of winners, it's probably not great value,' says 'Omaze looks slick, and the prizes are eye-catching, but the odds are truly wild. It's fun to dream, but I wouldn't treat it like a serious shot at winning.' ODDS: Unclear TOP PRIZE: £1million plus a house WORTH PLAYING? 3/10 OUR VERDICT: With just one prize in each draw, the odds are slim and the entry cost is comparatively high - but the prospect of winning a dream home might be worth it for some Other house raffles 11 Everyone is desperate to get on the property ladder, but don't rely on a house raffle Credit: Getty Winning a home is a dream prize for many people who are struggling to save a deposit but it is important to check the terms and conditions. Hidden in the small print of some of these draws is the fact that the advertised home might not actually be given away unless a minimum number of tickets are sold. In these cases, you might end up with a cash prize instead. Be sure to check the ticket price too as these can vary significantly, and be particularly cautious of house draws run by individuals rather than a proper company. Be wary of any prize draws that aren't clear about the rules or odds, says 'Any draw that's vague on the number of entries, or relies on hitting a certain number of ticket sales to go ahead, should be taken with a pinch of salt. Lack of transparency is a red flag.' ODDS: Unclear TOP PRIZE: A house WORTH PLAYING? 2/10 OUR VERDICT: Be wary of the terms and conditions - the house may never be given away.

‘Hypocrite' Starmer slammed for backing Palestinian statehood while handing over Chagos Islands without a fight
SIR Keir Starmer was branded a 'hypocrite' for backing Palestinian statehood — after surrendering the Chagos Islands. The Government will make the move in September if the crisis in Gaza has not ended. 2 Sir Keir appeared to suggest the UK will recognise Palestine even if Hamas still holds Israeli hostages. Forty peers have written to Attorney General Lord Hermer claiming the move is not lawful. They said that under the 1933 Montevideo Convention, a state must have a permanent population, a defined territory and government to ensure contact with other nations. It comes after the UK Government's £3.4billion deal to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Former Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis told Times Radio that Sir Keir stated in June that 'international law goes absolutely to the heart of his foreign policy'. Mr Ellis added: 'It's not fine to be hypocritical about that and to say we're going to follow international law when it suits him. "And we didn't have to give away . . . the British Indian Ocean Territory. 'That was their interpretation of following international law to its letter.' Israel says recognising Palestine is a reward for the 'monstrous terrorism' by Hamas after the attacks on October 7, 2023 that triggered the conflict. Starmer vows UK will recognise Palestine in weeks unless Israel ends crisis – but critics blast 'reward' for Hamas 2

Airline that kicked Jewish children off plane ‘must be investigated'
The airline that kicked Jewish children off a plane must be investigated, a former attorney general has said. Sir Michael Ellis KC said he was 'deeply concerned' after a group of Jewish children returning to France from a summer camp in Spain were escorted off a flight after at least one of them sang a Hebrew song. The Spanish airline Vueling allegedly removed the director of a Jewish summer camp and approximately 50 children from the flight to Paris, according to footage shared on social media on Wednesday. The airline said the group had 'compromised passenger safety'. Following the incident, Amichai Chikli, Israel's minister for diaspora affairs and combating anti-Semitism, described the incident as an example of 'serious' anti-Semitism, adding that the children, aged between 10 and 15, had been singing songs in Hebrew on the plane. Spanish police said the children's removal from the plane had nothing to do with their singing but it was instead due to 'misbehaviour'. Writing to Sir Stephen Hillier CBE, the chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Sir Michael called for the airline watchdog to urgently investigate. Sir Michael, who was attorney general between September and October 2022, said: 'Without prejudging the matter, I am deeply concerned, bearing in mind the extraordinary increase in anti-Semitism seen in the UK and elsewhere, that passengers professing the Jewish faith who might choose to travel on Vueling flights in the future are not subject to discrimination. 'The CAA is also obligated to uphold the Equality Act 2010 in exercising its functions, which requires the elimination of discrimination, harassment and victimisation of any group with protected characteristics. 'I am, therefore, asking the CAA to urgently investigate Vueling and seek assurances that the airline is in compliance with its international obligations under the CAA, FAA, IATA and EU laws and regulations, as well as the Montreal Convention 1999 (Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air). 'As I am sure you will appreciate, as well as receiving significant media attention, particularly in Europe, this incident will be of enormous concern to the Jewish community here in the UK. I trust that you share my concern at the reported incident and will be making this a priority.' 'The Spanish and French authorities are said to already be investigating this incident. However, in my view the allegations raise deeply alarming questions which necessitate action from the relevant British regulatory authorities, bearing in mind the British connections I have outlined above.' Sir Michael asked the CAA what undertakings it would make to investigate Vueling and what enforcement actions would any airline found to be discriminating against passengers on the basis of race, colour or religion be obligated to follow. He also asked the watchdog what assurances it could give that Vueling and all other airlines operating in the UK were safe for Jewish passengers, and whether it had requested any video or CCTV footage of the incident, as well as copies of statements from passengers and crew. Following the incident involving the children, the Vueling crew requested the assistance of the Guardia Civil, which decided to disembark the group to prioritise passenger safety. It said in a statement last week: 'We deny that the incident was related to the singing of songs. The minors repeatedly tampered with emergency equipment and interrupted the crew's safety demonstration, ignoring the crew. The pilot, believing they were endangering the flight, ordered their removal. 'Proceedings have been opened against one flight attendant for resisting authority.' Vueling denied that the crew's decision was related to the religion of the passengers. A CAA spokesman said: 'The UK Civil Aviation Authority has received Rt Hon Sir Michael Ellis's letter, and will respond accordingly in due course.'

Lord Hermer ‘gives himself veto' over government policy
Civil servants have been ordered to 'snitch' on ministers if they suspect them of potentially breaching international law, leading the Tories to accuse the attorney-general of handing himself an 'effective veto' over government policy. Lord Hermer is reported to have comprehensively amended guidance to Whitehall lawyers and civil servants that had been drafted by one of his Conservative predecessors, Suella Braverman. The guidance, which governs how government lawyers relate to ministers, has been tweaked to include a 'snitch clause', according to The Daily Telegraph. Hermer is said to have told civil servants to inform him if ministers might be about to break the law. It was also claimed that the attorney-general inserted 23 references to international law into the guidance and watered down Braverman's instructions that were designed to prevent government lawyers from becoming a 'block' to ministerial policy. Sir Michael Ellis, another former Conservative attorney-general, said that the changes to the document amounted to 'empire building' by Hermer, who had 'effectively given himself a veto over all government business'. Last year Hermer, who is the government's top lawyer and a friend of the prime minister, said in a speech that ministers must protect the rule of law from an 'age of populism'. Despite attending cabinet, Hermer is technically an independent legal adviser to the government. A spokesman for Hermer told The Daily Telegraph that 'government lawyers advise ministers, but it is always ministers that make decisions on policy, as has been the case under successive governments'.

I won £5.3k on free online postcode lottery – it only takes two minutes to check
WHEN retiree Michael Ellis signed up to an online postcode lottery in January 2016, he couldn't have imagined he'd find himself celebrating a win of more than £5,000. The 61-year-old, who formerly worked in local government, lives in Charing, Kent, with his wife, Michelle, 64, and their dog, Jack. 1 Michael told The Sun: 'I signed up to PickMyPostcode just under a decade ago after seeing it recommended by Martin Lewis on "But I never actually expected to win big.' For years, Michael visited the lottery website religiously – to see if his postcode had been "drawn". 'Finally, after checking every single day – and building my bonus through surveys – my postcode was picked on what is known as the 'Stackpot' draw. "This meant I bagged an unbelievable £5,331.61, completely for free.' PickMyPostcode is a free online alternative to traditional lotteries. This draw is funded by adverts, in the same way as a newspaper or TV channel is. To date, the lottery has given away more than £3million to lucky winning members, including an extra pot of money known as a "bonus". This is an additional pot of money which members grow themselves by visiting the website daily, completing surveys, and taking up extra offers. When Michael found out that he'd won, he was filled with a mix of emotions. 'At first there was disbelief that my postcode had actually come up on the 'Stackpot' draw,' he said. 'This was followed by lots of whooping and punching the air. My wife was left wondering what on earth had happened.' According to the lucky prize-winner, he has, over the years, invested quite a bit of time and effort into PickMyPostcode to build his sizeable bonus. 'I've lost count of the number of surveys I've completed,' he said. 'I also got quite competitive with myself on the leaderboard. "It started as a bit of fun in my spare time, but as my bonus grew, I was challenging myself to climb the leaderboard.' Michael already has big plans in terms of what he's going to do with his winnings. He said: 'Michelle and I have not had a proper holiday for quite a few years, and Michelle has a yearning to go to Italy. "So that is where we'll spend some of the money – along with sharing some with family, friends and favourite charities.' The main cause he plans to donate to is the Polycystic Kidney Disease Charity. 'This is a condition I suffer from,' said Michael. 'I already support the RNLI, SmileTrain, Action Aid and Dogs Trust, so will continue to support these charities, too.' The retiree's advice to other members of online lotteries is to remain patient. 'I always hoped to win, but never expected to,' said Michael. 'My words to all the 'nay-sayers' who believe that PickMyPostcode is a scam, are that 'you have to be in it to win it.' "What's more, this lottery is completely free. All it takes is just a few minutes of your time to check the various draws on the site.' PickMyPostcode offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. In Kent alone, the lottery has 14,009 active members. And, since 2011, residents from that county have won a total of £98,965.09. Across the whole of the UK, PickMyPostcode has more than three million members – and more than 37,000 winners. Thanks to the "roll-over" system and the member's "bonus building", the largest individual win on the site to date is £8,660.21. However, the majority of prizes come from smaller, everyday wins which can often be around £200. At the same time, via the site's "Double and Donate" scheme, members can opt to send their winnings directly to a charity of their choice, and PickMyPostcode will double the amount the cause receives. What you need to know about the online postcode lottery PICKMYPOSTCODE is a competition that has been running daily since 2011. Anyone over 18, who lives in the UK – or on any islands that uses the British postcode system – can join the site. All you need is a registered postcode and an email. There are several draws each day, and all are completely free. With certain ones, you can bag between £5 and £100, while the main jackpot, picked at random at noon every day, is £200. You need to check online before midday the next day to claim your prize. If the prize money isn't claimed that day, it will roll over. This applies to four draws on the site – the 'main,' the 'survey,' the 'video' and the 'bonus' draw. So if, for example, the £200 'main draw' prize isn't claimed today, tomorrow's prize amount will be £400 instead – and so on until it is claimed. Should multiple winners with the same postcode make a claim the prize pot is split. You get 3p added to your bonus daily for checking the main, survey and bonus draw. In addition, you can add to your bonus by doing surveys and taking up certain offers on site. Just note that you'll only actually get that bonus if you're lucky enough to win. The site also runs Win A Dinner, a free food lottery. All you need for that one is an email. Every day at 4pm, winners are chosen to get £25 gift cards for restaurants and other food service locations of their choice. PickMyPostcode is completely funded by advertising so you'll never be asked to spend a penny. All members need to do is come back and check the draws daily to see if they have won. To date, more than £3million has been won. If your postcode comes up trumps, you will see a large 'collect' button. You need to press that so your winnings can be paid into a PayPay account. Alternatively, you can opt for a gift card. While there are other postcode lotteries, most involve you having to pay. One of the main ones is the People's Postcode Lottery – which pays out bigger amounts. But in order to play, you have to pay. How do I know my details are safe? PickMyPostcode will never ask members to provide any bank details or personal information. May McWhirter fromPickMyPostcode, said: 'We just give prizes, pure and simple.' Winners are paid via PayPal using their email address. This means you don't even need to hand over your name to be entered. You only have to give your postcode and email. May added: 'Michael's win proves that checking PickMyPostcode every day is worth it. "It only takes seconds but could make a huge difference.' On Martin Lewis describes PickMyPostcode as 'a fun competition,' adding that it sounds 'too good to be true, but it's legit.' Other ways to win As we reported previously, it's also possible to win big on another postcode-related draw, the Postcode Lottery. We recently revealed the luckiest town with the most Postcode Lottery winners. Earlier this month, we also reported on the locations of unclaimed National Lottery and UK EuroMillions tickets.
