December 8th 2024.
Last night's Lotto draw was a lucky one for four individuals, as they each walked away with more than a million pounds. In total, a whopping £10,000,000 was won in Saturday's draw, making it a truly memorable evening for these fortunate winners.
One lucky ticket holder was the recipient of the top jackpot prize, a staggering £7,300,000. But that's not all - three other tickets also matched the winning numbers and secured a million pounds each. Can you imagine the excitement and disbelief that must have coursed through their veins upon discovering their newfound wealth?
The jackpot winner is now the proud owner of a whopping £7,389,095, as their ticket perfectly matched all six of the main Lotto numbers: 09, 12, 14, 26, 35, and 42. And let's not forget the bonus number, 18, which also contributed to this life-changing win.
But the good fortune didn't stop there. Three other ticket holders were able to claim £1,000,000 prizes by matching five of the numbers along with the bonus ball. It seems that luck was on the side of many Lotto players that night.
These wins are just the latest in a string of successes for National Lottery players. In the month of November alone, three jackpots worth millions were claimed by lucky individuals. And it's not just the big winners who have reason to celebrate - over two dozen ticket holders can now cash in thousands of pounds, with ten matching four of the numbers and seventeen having Thunderball success.
Speaking of Thunderball, the winning numbers for that game were 05, 08, 13, 25, and 29, with the Thunderball number being 12. One ticket holder was able to scoop the jackpot, while three others joined the ranks of millionaires by matching five numbers plus the Thunderball.
Unfortunately, no one was able to match all five numbers plus the Thunderball to claim the top prize of £500,000. However, seventeen players did match all five regular numbers and will be taking home a tidy sum of £5,000 each.
While these winnings are certainly impressive, they pale in comparison to the largest amount ever won by a single ticket holder - a jaw-dropping £42million back in 1996. And even more recently, a builder named Gareth Bull won £41million in 2020, using his newfound wealth to build a luxurious manor and pool.
In Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the main Lotto draw, no players were able to match all five numbers. But fear not, there is still a chance to strike it rich in Wednesday's Lotto draw, with an estimated £2 million up for grabs. For just £2, you too could have a shot at becoming a millionaire. Just remember to buy your ticket before 7:30pm on Wednesday and Saturday draw days. Who knows, you could be the next lucky winner to join the ranks of these millionaires. Good luck!
