If you happen to be reading this, there's a good chance that you have just won a whopping £15,000,000! Yes, you read that right. So, without further ado, I would highly recommend checking your lottery ticket right now. After all, with the rising cost of bread, it almost feels like it costs the same as a diamond ring these days.
The National Lottery revealed last night that an unknown player has won the 'Must Be Won' jackpot from Saturday's draw. Talk about striking it lucky! This lucky individual managed to match all six main numbers and is now a multi-millionaire. And they are not the only ones celebrating. Two other players matched five numbers and the bonus ball, adding a cool £1,000,000 to their bank accounts. Ooh la la!
In case you missed it, the Lotto jackpot for tonight has been won! The National Lottery took to Twitter to announce the exciting news and asked, "Will you be next?" What a thrill! The winning numbers for the jackpot were two, 20, 34, 40, 48, and 59, with the bonus ball being six. The lucky winner, who had draw number 2,942, has until August 29 to claim their prize.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery, expressed his excitement over the news, saying, "Brilliant news! One lucky ticket-holder has won tonight's incredible £15,000,000 'Must Be Won' Lotto jackpot." What a way to start the month! Carter urges all players to check their tickets and give them a call to claim their prize. He also reminds players that by playing any National Lottery game, they are generating £30,000,000 each week for National Lottery-funded projects.
Have you checked your ticket yet? Remember, this money goes towards funding projects all over the nation. To date, over 685,000 grants have been made across the UK, supporting projects of all sizes. And the good news doesn't end there. Eighty-four ticket-holders matched five numbers, winning £1,750 each, and 5,553 players will receive £140 for matching four numbers. Unfortunately, no players matched all five numbers to win the Lotto HotPicks, but there's always another chance.
In addition to the Lotto, the winning Thunderball numbers for tonight were 15, 21, 22, 25, 30, and the Thunderball number was 10. While no one matched all five numbers and the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize, there is still plenty to celebrate. Just last month, another very lucky Lotto player won the £3,600,000 jackpot in the Set For Life draw.
Now, we all know about the infamous 'Lotto Curse' that some winners have been known to fall victim to. But there are also those who prefer to keep things simple. Take Mark Gardiner, for example. About 30 years ago, he won what was then the largest prize in National Lottery history - a whopping £22,000,000! And yet, despite having a hefty sum in his bank account, he still works as a glazer. "But I don't have to take any nonsense," he shared in an interview with the Daily Mail. "And if I want to take a day off on a sunny day, then I can."
