New in-store Scratchcard limits coming 1st October 2024

From 1st October 2024, there will be a limit on the number of Scratchcards you can buy in one transaction, being a maximum of 10. This will be effective in all stores where you can play The National Lottery. A transaction is a purchase (which includes the purchase of Scratchcards) made during a single visit to a store.

The limit on the number of Scratchcards you can buy in one transaction comes into effect from 1st October 2024.

We are introducing the Scratchcard limit to ensure The National Lottery remains a trusted and safe environment for all retail players, and to help minimise any risk of excessive play. This limit matches our existing limit for buying Scratchcards online via our retail partners, such as Tesco.com and Sainsburys.co.uk.
