Officially you need to be in the UK to buy your tickets for the National Lottery. You are fine to buy a Euromillions ticket online from
www.national-lottery.co.uk when abroad but not the normal lottery. Their website can tell if you purchase your ticket abroad from the IP address and will send you an email advising you that they noticed your ticket was purchased using a foreign IP address.
I have been doing the national lottery whilst I have been living abroad for over five years and they only picked up on this about two years ago. Apparently they can without your winnings if they suspect you have purchased your ticket abroad but they only investigate for winning over 5000 GBP. I have a National Lottery account which I keep topped up and then when my tickets expire I forward the reminder to my father in law and he then accesses my Lottery account and purchases my Lottery ticket.
I hope this helps.

Good Luck
