How to Play 49s Teatime
The basics of UK 49s Teatime are that you bet on specific balls being selected in a draw. You can choose to be on anywhere between one and five numbers, and also have the choice to decide if that includes the Booster Ball or not. The wager is up to the player, meaning the amount they win is dictated by the player depending on the odds they are offered for their chosen bet style.
For the straight bet style, which is the most popular, you have to select a minimum of one number and a maximum of five numbers between 1 and 49. The different options are known as Pick 1, Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 5. You can either choose your own numbers or ask for a Lucky Dip to have them picked randomly for you. Other betting markets are also available, such as:
- Combination—select up to 14 numbers and a combination of all these numbers will be entered into the draw via the straight method
- 1st Number— bet on which number will be the first one chosen. Be careful not to mix this up with the first ball that is shown in the results, as these might be in ascending order rather than drawn order
- Booster Ball Number—bet on what the Booster Ball number will be
- Odd/Even—bet on the whether the value of each individual ball will be odd or even
- Hi Lo—certain values are given to you and you must bet whether the ball will be higher or lower than that value
- Total Value—bet on what the total value of all six balls will be in pre-selected ranges
- Booster Ball color- each ball in the 49s draw is a specific color, and this market is betting on which color the final booster ball will be
When playing in store, you need to mark the Teatime option on your betting slip, and select how many consecutive days you want to play. You can enter up to seven days in a row and there is no fixed stake, so you can decide how much you would like to wager depending on what the bookmaker allows. Bets can be placed right up until the game's official start time.

Odds & Prizes
Winning prizes depends on what market you bet on, but the basics are that you need to match the numbers you selected on your entry. So, if you picked four numbers to come up, and only three of your chosen ones are picked, then you would not win a prize. Odds and prizes are dependent on a number of factors, such as your chosen market and whether you entered the 6 Number Draw or 7 Number Draw.
If you win, you will be paid out in accordance with the individual bookmaker's prize rules, which will be based on the odds and the size of your stake. For example, if you wager £1 in the Pick 1 game in the '6 Number Draw', the odds are 6/1. If your number is drawn, you would win £6, and also receive your stake back for a total return of £7. The following table shows the odds of winning for each game.
| Bet Type | 6 Number Draw | 7 Number Draw |
|---|---|---|
| Pick 1 | 6/1 | 5/1 |
| Pick 2 | 60/1 | 40/1 |
| Pick 3 | 650/1 | 400/1 |
| Pick 4 | 10,000/1 | 5,000/1 |
| Pick 5 | 150,000/1 | 50,000/1 |
| Booster Ball Color | - | 11/2 |
| Odd or Even | 52/1 | - |
| 1st Number | 44/1 | 44/1 |
| Booster Ball Number | - | 44/1 |
