A. GENERAL

1. Bets in relation to each Draw are

accepted by TFP. TFP offers a range of Means of

Entry whereby Customers can place Bets. The

Laws of England including the Gambling Act 2005

apply to these Rules and to all Games conducted

under them.

2. Each Means of Entry will set out the age at

which a Customer is allowed to place an Entry.

3. These Rules govern the operation of the Game,

irrespective of the Means of Entry.

4. TFP reserves the right to amend these Rules

without notice and/or suspend its acceptance of

Bets in relation to any Draw in the event of war,

earthquake, catastrophe strikes or the occurrence

of any other event beyond its reasonable control.

Furthermore, TFP reserves the right to alter the

odds offered at any time and to notify such

alteration(s) by such means as TFP considers

appropriate.

5. TFP reserves the absolute right at any

time to withdraw this product (or any part of it) and

in such circumstances will refund all affected

Stakes paid in advance.

6. Despite every effort to ensure complete

accuracy, TFP is not responsible for any typing,

human or obvious error which leads to any errors

or omissions by TFP, including (without limitation)

the incorrect announcement of prizes and results,

or the mistaken acceptance of a Bet which

contravenes these Rules. If any Bet is affected by

such an error it shall be accepted on the basis of

the correct information, as corrected by TFP or, if

this is not possible, the Bet will be entered on

behalf of the relevant Customer into the next Draw.

7. The Customer is not permitted to call at

TFP’s premises to place a Bet.

8. Save for the £1m Bonus Prize (or any part

thereof) the maximum amount which will be paid

to any Customer or to any one source shall be

dependent upon the amount of Numbers selected

(i.e. if 5 Numbers are matched in the Draw, the

maximum amount payable will be £50,000; if 4

selections are matched the maximum amount

payable will be £7,000; if 3 Numbers are matched

the maximum amount payable will be £500; if 2

Numbers are matched the maximum amount

payable will be £40.

9. For the avoidance of doubt no Bet made by or

on behalf of an employee, agent or assignee of a

company in the TFP group, or anyone acting in

concert with such employee, agent or assignee

shall be eligible to win the £1m Bonus Prize.

B. HOW TO PLAY

1. A Customer selects 2, 3, 4 or 5 numbers

(“Numbers”). A Customer also then selects a

further 4, 3, 2 or 1 different numbers as the Bonus

Numbers, such that a total of six numbers has

been selected. The Customer, indicates the

Draw(s) to which such Bet(s) relates, the total

Stake payable in relation to the same and the

method of payment and then provides to TFP the

Betting Slip via on which such information has

been included an approved Means of Entry

together with the required Stake.

2. If each Number forecast on the Betting Slip is

matched from the first 6 numbers drawn in the

Draw, then TFP will pay to the Customer the

Winnings. In addition, if all 6 numbers (i.e. the

Numbers together with the Bonus Number on the

Betting Slip) are so matched, the Customer will

also be entitled to (a share in) the £1m Bonus

Prize (equally divided between all Customers

whose 6 numbers match those drawn).

3. All Bets must be recorded on TFP’s central

computer system no later than 15:20 on the date

of the Draw to which they relate.

4. TFP may refuse to accept any Bet and TFP's

decision in relation to the same shall be final.

5. A Bet will be disqualified and no claim for

Winnings will be entertained by TFP where:

(i) the Bet is not made or does not reach TFP in

accordance with these Rules;

(ii) the Bet is made by or on behalf of an

employee, agent or assignee of TFP, or anyone

acting in concert with such employee, agent or

assignee;

(iii) the Bet is not accompanied by the required

Stake;

(iv) the Bet is made by a person under the age

required for the particular Means of Entry;

(v) the Bet breaches any of these Rules in

relation to the Entry or the terms and conditions

set out in the Means of Entry; or

(vi) the Bet is ambiguous, illegible or

incomprehensible.

6. All Bets must be submitted with the relevant

Stake in order for the Bets stated therein to be

valid. No credit will be offered by TFP to the

Customer. If the correct and appropriate Stake

does not accompany a Betting Slip, that Betting

Slip will not be valid.

7. For the avoidance of doubt, TFP has no

responsibility and accepts no liability of any kind

whatsoever for a Bet (however submitted) or

Stakes associated with a Bet until the same are

received and accepted by TFP in accordance with

these Rules.

8. The Customer acknowledges and agrees

that TFP shall not be under any obligation or

responsibility to notify a Customer of a Bet that is

invalid or void under these Rules.

C. WINNINGS

1. The means of payment of Winnings shall

depend on the Means of Entry. Please see the

relevant Means of Entry rules.

2. Winnings (excluding the £1m Bonus Prize) will

usually be paid no later than seven days following

the date of the Draw.

3. TFP shall make payment of the £1m Bonus

Prize to winning and eligible Customer(s) as

follows:

a) An initial payment of £150,000 (one hundred

and fifty thousand pounds) within 7 (seven) days

of TFP confirming a winning Entry(s); and

b) The remaining balance of £850,000 (eight

hundred and fifty thousand pounds) to be paid

within sixty (60) days of TFP making the initial

payment referred to in paragraph C. 3(a).

4. Any query regarding Winnings or in relation to

the £1m Bonus Prize should be made within six

weeks from the relevant Game Date to which

such query relates using the contact details set

out in the Means of Entry.

D. CONDITIONS

1. TFP may request that any Winnings or the

£1m Bonus Prize paid on a void or disqualified

Bet shall forthwith be repaid to TFP and the

Customer shall promptly make such repayment in

the manner specified by TFP.

2. Any minimum or maximum Stake and the

minimum or maximum number of Draws for which

Bets can be accepted at the Means of Entry will

be published.

3. If for any reason an incorrect Stake is

received by TFP it may at its discretion reject the

Bet or accept any underpaid stake and adjust the

Winnings (and, if applicable, the £1m Bonus

Prize) accordingly.

4. For example, TFP may accept a Bet wherein

the Customer has proffered one half of the

minimum stake on both of two selections (thereby

making one minimum Stake) and will pay any

Winnings based on that half stake. Similarly, if on

such a Bet the Customer becomes entitled to (a

share in) the £1m Bonus Prize, he will only be

entitled to (a share of) one half of the £1m Bonus

Prize.

5. If a Customer fails to choose Bonus

Number(s) TFP may select Bonus Number(s) on

the Customer’s behalf, but is under no obligation

so to do and accepts no liability in the event that it

does not.

6. The results published by 49s for each

Draw shall be deemed final and binding on both

TFP and Customers for the purposes of

determining Customers' entitlement to Winnings

(and, if applicable, the £1m Bonus Prize). The

drawn numbers are available by calling 0800 500

000.

Please note that by placing a Bet you are not

purchasing a ticket for or entering any of the

Draws themselves. You are betting on the

outcome of these Draws.

E. £1M Prize Promotion

discretion to cancel, end, withdraw, alter, modify

.or supersede the £1m Bonus Prize by

announcing the same on the Website as referred

to in the relevant Means of Entry.

decision is final and binding and no

correspondence will be entered into regarding the

outcome of the £1m bonus prize.

(excluding the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and

Gibraltar) shall be eligible to win the £1m Bonus

Prize.
