No. A Passkey is a single-use code. It unlocks the guaranteed winning numbers for one particular draw only, either Lunchtime or Teatime. Once you have viewed your numbers, or the draw has taken place, the Passkey switches itself off in our system. This stops anyone reusing it and keeps our number distribution secure.
Yes. Fixed numbers sit behind strict Passkey verification, so without a valid, unused Passkey issued to your account nothing will be shown. Access is restricted for three reasons: 1) the numbers come straight from the draw machine's programmed ball set, 2) we have to cap how many players can see each combination, and 3) for security we record which numbers belong to which account.
UK49s holds two official draws every single day: 1) Lunchtime at 12:49 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and 2) Teatime at 5:49 PM GMT, although the local time depends on your country. Times may shift when clocks change for daylight saving.
A Passkey stays active until one of two things happens: 1) you use it to view your fixed numbers, which deactivates it straight away, or 2) the draw it was issued for takes place. If you miss that draw, there is a 24-hour window after expiry in which you can ask for reactivation, and you must use it immediately. A Passkey that was never used to view numbers is kept on record for exactly 4 weeks, after which it expires for good.
No, never. A Passkey is encrypted and tied to your own account and to the exact numbers assigned to you from the draw machine's programmed set. We monitor every use of a Passkey and sharing is detected immediately. Accounts caught sharing may be suspended permanently with no warning, because it undermines our tightly controlled number distribution and the security of the draw machine's programming.
