You need to allow the lottery site to see your IP address. Tap the square like symbol to left of the web address, tap the 3 dots to show settings and tap Show IP Address.

@cepenpark not true at all. I don’t have that enabled , I use a VPN and I use iCloud private relay.

All I get is, ( image below) and I click I’m in the UK and I get access.

@Katiebob You have a work around it’s not actually resolved the issue. See my comments above. Happy you’ve a working solution all be it with IP address tracking. Your right to privacy doesn’t mean you should be sharing your IP address.
