This variant is the most popular in the UK, which is where it gets its name of course! This game is played with 90 balls and has a play card that is slightly different from the one in the american version. In the Uk version, there are 27 squares and 9 rows and the numbers pulled range between 1 and 90. This means if you purchase 6 strips you will eventually mark all of the numbers.
