A single ticket-holder has won the £7.5 million jackpot prize in Saturday’s Lotto draw. The winning Lotto numbers were 16, 19, 22, 24, 27, 35 and the bonus number was 28.
The jackpot winner matched all six main numbers to take home £7,533,329 while another lucky single ticket-holder bagged £1 million by matching five out of the six main numbers, plus the bonus ball. People have been urged to check their tickets and call in to claim the top prize.
Set of balls 4 and draw machine Guinevere were used. Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Wonderful news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s £7.5 million Lotto jackpot.
“What a Lotto luck to kickstart the year, following on from an average of just over one millionaire having been made every day on The National Lottery in 2024.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.”
Wednesday’s estimated jackpot will be £2 million. No players matched all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.
However, 16 ticket-holders won £13,000 each after they matched four numbers. The winning Thunderball numbers were 05, 11, 14, 17 and 35 while the Thunderball number was 08.
One lucky player matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize. Another three players matched five numbers to take home £5,000.
