Lottery players advised to verify if their ticket is the lucky winner of a £7,500,000 prize.

One fortunate individual defied the odds and emerged as the sole winner of the massive £7.5 million jackpot in the recent Lotto draw. As word spread, lottery enthusiasts were encouraged to double-check their tickets, just in case they were the lucky ticket holder. The winning numbers that led to this life-changing victory were 16, 19, 22, 24, 27, 35, with a bonus number of 28.

Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, revealed that the winner beat odds of nearly one in 14 million to match all six main numbers. If they come forward, they will be awarded with a grand total of £7,533,329. Another fortunate player also struck it rich by winning £1 million, having matched five out of the six main numbers as well as the bonus ball.

In light of these exciting announcements, players were reminded to carefully review their tickets to ensure they don't miss out on any potential prize money. Andy Carter, Allwyn's senior winners' adviser, shared his enthusiasm for the big wins, stating, "Wonderful news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight's £7.5 million Lotto jackpot." He also added, "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." Carter urged players to contact them if they believe they possess the winning ticket.

Unfortunately, no players were able to match all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which utilizes the same numbers as the main Lotto draw. However, 16 players still walked away with a handsome sum of £13,000 each after successfully matching four numbers. The Thunderball draw also resulted in a significant win, with the numbers 5, 11, 14, 17, 35 and the Thunderball number 08. One lucky player was able to snag £500,000 by matching all five numbers plus the Thunderball.

As the excitement dies down, the attention now turns to the next Lotto draw on Wednesday, with an estimated jackpot of £2 million up for grabs. Who knows, the next big winner could be just around the corner.
