Brits hoping to get rich quick will soon be able to buy their lottery tickets with the Barclays Pingit app.
From next month, players who have registered for Pingit will be able to pay for Lotto, Thunderball and EuroMillions by lucky dip through the Pingit app or by scanning a QR code. Customers will be able to choose their own numbers at a later date.
Players will be able to select the draws they wish to purchase a ticket for and the number they wish to enter, and then receive their tickets directly to their mobile devices. If they win, users can receive up to £50,000 through their Pingit account.
The introduction of a mobile payments option arrives as Camelot, operator of The National Lottery, says that six out of every 10 visits to its website are now from smartphones and tablets.
Tim Copper, digital director, Camelot, says: "With faster payment and registration, Pingit will make it even easier for our players to enjoy the excitement of National Lottery games on the go, with the added security offered by Barclays."
