Allwyn UK is the operator of the UK National Lottery under the fourth licence, which it took over from Camelot in February 2024 after winning the 2022 competition, running Lotto, EuroMillions, Set For Life, Thunderball and instant-win games through a retail network of more than 40,000 outlets and the National Lottery app and website, and returning proceeds to good causes through the National Lottery distributors. Part of the Allwyn group, it has been implementing a technology transition and a new games portfolio under Gambling Commission supervision.
