Some people are tricky to buy gifts for and for the person who has everything, it can be especially difficult. Lottery tickets may be the perfect answer as they can be used by anyone over the age of 16 and if winnings are received, they can be used for whatever purpose the winner wishes.
To give a lottery ticket as a gift you need to physically purchase the ticket yourself. You can opt for a lucky dip ticket or can personalise the lottery ticket by choosing numbers that correspond with special dates, ages, milestone years or other numbers that are meaningful to the recipient. This will give the lottery ticket numbers a personal touch and make the gift more special.
You could even buy a few tickets with different number combinations so all bases are covered. If you want to choose your own numbers then it is worth noting that some digits seem to be luckier than others when it comes to the National Lottery.
The number that has been drawn the most since the National Lottery began is 38. The second luckiest ball number is 25. Other numbers which have appeared more often than others are 31, 23 and 9.
If you want to be in with a chance to win it might help to know the unlucky numbers as well so you can steer clear of them. Anyone with superstitious tendencies will not be surprised to know that the number 13 is in fact the unluckiest as it has been drawn the fewest times. Other unlucky numbers include 6, 9 and 11.
Making the gift look extra special is easy as you can buy a decorative envelope to present the lottery tickets in.
You can also give National Lottery Scratchcards as a gift and with prizes ranging from 1.00 up to 1,000,000 you could make someone very happy. Based on the average of all prize claims in 2009, there are four winners every second on National Lottery Scratchcards so this could be an extra lucky present for one of your loved ones.
There are several different Scratchcard games to play and depending on which one you choose, a Scratchcard will cost either 1, 2 or 5 and can be bought from your local supermarket, newsagent or petrol filling station.
If you are thinking of giving a Scratchcard as a Christmas present then look out for the special seasonal versions including Merry Millions, Christmas Bonus and Happy Christmas.
Whether you opt to buy a lottery ticket, Scratchcard or both, as a present, it is worth noting that there are terms and conditions to abide by. Anyone claiming a National Lottery prize must be aged 16 or over. All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of game closure so it makes sense to know what this date is so the winner doesn't miss out. For full details of terms and conditions you can contact the retailer where you bought the ticket or contact the National Lottery directly.
