WE'VE GOT SECURITY COVERED, SO YOUR DETAILS ARE SAFE WITH US


OUR SECURITY STANDARDS

Keeping your details secure is a top priority. We follow strict security
standards and undergo independent audits, so you never need worry about your
transactions with us.

We're all about the detailssection closed section closed

We're fully certified to ISO27001:2013 and PCI-DSS. These are stringent security
standards designed to ensure we maintain the highest levels of security.

Just so you know, we were the first lottery in Europe to achieve certification
to such high standards. And we don’t stop there. We also undergo monthly checks
and regular audits by the British Standards Institute who keep a check on how
everything is being done.

We're members of the World Lottery Association (WLA)

They regularly conduct audits to make sure our games and procedures are being
run with the highest levels of integrity. We are certified to the WLA Security
Control Standard (SCS); the only internationally-recognised security standard in
the lottery sector. The WLA SCS couples a comprehensive information security
management baseline incorporating ISO/IEC 27001:2013, a leading international
standard for information security management, with additional lottery-specific
security controls representing current best practice.

We've got it covered

So you can be sure that when it comes to the security of your details, as a
responsible operator of The National Lottery, we've got it covered.


KEEP YOUR DETAILS SAFE

Stay safe online by creating a secure password and protecting it.

 * Choose a password that's easy for you to remember but hard for others to
   guess
 * Create different passwords for all your online accounts
 * Keep your password private - don't share it with anyone or write it down
 * Change your password frequently

How to choose a good password / security questionsection closed section closed

Choosing a good password

 * Your password must be 8 - 30 characters long with at least one letter and one
   number
 * Avoid passwords with repeated characters (e.g. aaaaa111, 1111111a) or
   sequential characters (e.g. 1234567a)
 * Avoid using dictionary words, your name, spouse's name, pet's name, birthday
   or any personal information that others can easily obtain
 * Don't use words or phrases that relate to The National Lottery or your
   account

Choosing a good security question and answer

If possible, give an answer to your security question that is 6 or more
characters long.

Additionally, your answer should not be easy to guess and may include, but not
start with: apostrophes, full stops, spaces, hyphens and commas.


NATIONAL LOTTERY EMAILS

To help ensure your National Lottery emails reach you, please add the following
email addresses to your Email Address Book or Safe Senders List:

The National Lottery cannot always guarantee delivery of marketing/service
emails to your inbox and anyone who experiences issues should contact their
email providers in the first instance.

For information about potential scam emails, please read the 'Avoid lottery
scams' section on this page.


AVOID LOTTERY SCAMS

Scammers may try to trick you into thinking you've won.

Remember:

 * Don't pay money to anyone who claims you've won
 * Don't give your details to someone who contacts you unexpectedly
 * Don't select links in unsolicited emails - even if they use a real company's
   name or logo
 * If you (or your syndicate) didn't buy a ticket, there's no chance you've won

If you think you have been the victim of a scam, contact Action Fraud on 0300
123 2040.

More tips to avoid lottery scamssection closed section closed

Scam emails, phone calls and letters

Scammers may use emails, phone calls or letters which try to trick you into
thinking you've won a lottery prize and may use real organisations' logos in
their emails or letters, such as Camelot, EuroMillions, The National Lottery,
the European Union or even the United Nations.

They do this so that they can ask you for money to release the prize or for your
personal details, which they can use to try to steal your identity.

The National Lottery will only send you emails from the accounts listed in the
National Lottery emails section

Scammers may be able to send out emails which appear to be from a genuine email
address, such as the ones listed on this page. They can also create fake
websites (also known as 'Spoof websites') which appear to be genuine websites
and may even show a genuine website address in your browser bar, for example,
www.national-lottery.co.uk.

If you are in any doubt whatsoever about an email you have received, please do
not select any links in it. Instead, type the website address directly into your
browser. Any prizes which you wish to claim can be done so from your National
Lottery account – it is not necessary to select links in emails we send to you
to claim your prizes.

Remember that we will never ask you for money to release a prize and we do not
give details of winning prize amounts in our emails.

Spoof websites

Spoof websites (known as 'phishing' websites) are fake sites created by scammers
to look like real company websites, such as bank websites. Scammers send out
emails which ask you to enter your account details, with a link to the fake
website. They will then collect your account details from the fake website and
use this information to access your account.

Spoof websites look very real and can be difficult to spot. To make sure you're
on our site, type www.national-lottery.co.uk directly into your browser, rather
than selecting links in emails.
