- Choose Your Numbers for Game 1
The Christmas Millionaire Maker 2003 playslip has 2 entry boards on it. Each board consists of 100 boxes
containing the years 1904 to 2003. Choose 6 years by marking 6 boxes within
one board with a vertical line. Only use a pencil or a blue or black pen.
Put a clear, bold, vertical line through each number you have chosen.
If you make a mistake, mark the 'void' box and use another board. If you'd
like the lottery terminal to choose your numbers at random, mark the
'Lucky Dip' box on each of those boards on which you wish to play 'Lucky Dip'
or simply ask the retailer for a 'Lucky Dip'. Your retailer can also enter
your chosen years for you at the lottery terminal. (You should not select a
set of numbers and mark the 'Lucky Dip' box on the same entry board.) If you
wish to make another select, use another board. Each board will cost you
£5.
- Your years for Game 2 are selected at random
Entry in Game 1 automatically entitles you to entry in Game 2. The lottery
terminal chooses one year from 1000 to 1999 (inclusive) and one year from
2000 to 2999 (inclusive) for you. The two years selected are printed on your
ticket below your Game 1 selection.
- Get your ticket
When you've paid, the retailer will enter your selections into the terminal
and give you a Christmas Millionaire Maker 2003 ticket. You must check that the years you have selected are
correct and that the Game 2 years are shown. Also check that the barcoded
serial number is clearly readable and that the 'void' box on your ticket
has not been marked. Then write your name and address on the back. Keep your
ticket safe, you'll need to check off your numbers in the draws. Don't lose
it ! You'll need it to claim your prize, as it is the only proof that you
are a winner.
If you need to cancel your Christmas Millionaire Maker 2003 ticket, you must return it to the lottery
terminal from which it was purchased within two hours or, where earlier,
before the retailer or system closes for the night or before the draw break
at 7.30pm BST on 24th December 2003. It is not possible to cancel a
'Lucky Dip' ticket.
- How to win - Game 1
If the first five years in any one six-year selection on your ticket match
in any order the 5 main years drawn in Game 1, you are a top prize winner.
You can also win various other prizes by matching other combinations of years.
Match the Bonus Year also makes a difference to the size of your prize. See
the table below.
Prize Structure Table - Game 1
Years to Match Odds Estimated Prizes
5 1 in 12,547,920 £10,000,000
4+Bonus Year 1 in 2,536,282 £100,000
4 1 in 54,544 £2,000
3+Bonus Year 1 in 27,272 £1,500
3 1 in 890 £150
2+Bonus Year 1 in 890 £100
2 1 in 40 £40
Overall 1 in 36
The prize figures are estimates. They are based on estimated sales of
£125,000,000. The exact value of prizes depends on the number of tickets
sold, the number of Game 2 winners and how many people match the winning
years. If 2 or more players with the Game 1 jackpot, it will be shared between
them.
In Game 1, the Match 5 Category is the highest Prize Category. If a player
correctly matches the 5 Main Years and the Bonus Year, the prize will be the
same as that for the Match 5 Category. If there are no jackpot winners in
Game 1, the prize money rolls down to the next prize level.
- How to win - Game 2
Simply match the two years shown on the Game 2 section of your ticket with
the two years drawn for Game 2 and you have won a guaranteed £1 million.
Each of the two dates will be a contribution of four balls drawn. If 10, 66,
21 and 30 are drawn for example, the winning years will be 1066 and 2130.
Balls are drawn from 4 machines. Machine 1 contains the balls 10-19 and
machine 2 contains balls 00-99 - these are used to draw the year from
this millennium. Machine 3 contains balls 20-29 and machine 4 contains
balls 00-99 - these are used to draw the year from the next millennium.
