“My £39 Legoland ticket went down to £14 with the code found on the top of any lottery ticket (even online ones) dated from the 1st Oct! Great for half term.”

You’ll need to book them online at NationalLotteryDaysOut.com and simply enter it the checkout when purchasing your tickets.

You’ll need to make a note of the code if you’re not using it straightaway and use it within seven days.

That means booking the tickets and not that you have to visit that week.

Your visit can take place any time between now and March 31, 2022.
