October 27th 2024.
Over the weekend, a fortunate player from the UK hit the jackpot and won an incredible £7,300,000 in the latest Lotto draw. It's hard not to feel a bit of deja-vu reading this amazing news, as it was just two weeks ago that someone else won an even bigger prize of £7.4 million on the lottery.
While it may be tempting to feel envious of these big winners, don't forget that even a small win of £5 on the Nectar app can bring a sense of excitement. Who knows, maybe the next winning ticket could be yours?
If you did happen to buy a ticket for the latest Lotto draw, it's important to check your numbers as the prize has not yet been claimed. Of course, we must remind you that the odds of winning the lottery are incredibly slim, but it's hard not to get caught up in the possibility of being that one lucky ticket holder.
For those already dreaming of how to spend their millions, it's worth noting that the estimated jackpot for Wednesday's draw is only £2 million. While that may seem like a small sum compared to the recent multi-million pound winners in October, it's still a life-changing amount of money.
However, even with £2 million in your pocket, you wouldn't even come close to making it onto the Sunday Times Rich List, which requires a minimum wealth of £350 million. It's certainly something to think about while you wait for the next Lotto draw.
According to Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, October has been an incredible month for Lotto players. The latest winner follows in the footsteps of a lucky ticket holder who won £7.4 million just a few weeks ago on October 12. If you think you might be the lucky winner, be sure to check your numbers and give the National Lottery a call.
In case you're wondering, the winning numbers for last night's Lotto draw were 09, 16, 30, 41, 44, 47, with the bonus number being 13. The winning ticket holder matched all six main numbers to take home the impressive prize of £7,359,568. Three other players also had a reason to celebrate as they matched five numbers and the bonus ball, winning £1 million each.
For those who also played Lotto HotPicks, unfortunately, no one matched all five numbers to win the top prize of £350,000. However, eleven players did win £13,000 for matching four out of the five numbers. The winning Thunderball numbers were 06, 09, 15, 32, 38, with the Thunderball number being 07. One ticket holder won £500,000 for matching all five numbers and the Thunderball, while two other players won £5,000 for matching five numbers.
If you're anxiously waiting to see if your numbers match up, you can easily check your ticket by using the lottery app on your phone or by finding your paper ticket. Who knows, you may just be the next lucky winner!
