A single ticket-holder has won the £7.4 million jackpot in Saturday’s Lotto draw and players have been advised to check their tickets.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Brilliant news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s £7.4 million Lotto jackpot.
“November is proving to be a lucky month for Lotto players, as tonight’s big win follows on from the two lucky ticket-holders who won £2.6 million each when they shared the £5.2 million jackpot in the draw on November 6.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.
“The National Lottery is celebrating 30 years of changing lives. Since it launched, over 7,400 millionaires have been made and more than £50 billion has been raised for good causes with more than 700,000 individual grants awarded.
“This money supports our nation’s heritage, the arts and sport, as well as helping grassroots projects in every local community.”
Wednesday’s estimated jackpot is £2 million, the National Lottery said.
The jackpot winner matched all six main numbers to win £7,418,062 while no players matched five and the bonus ball for £1 million.
The winning Lotto numbers were 03, 08, 13, 33, 39, 44 and the bonus number was 56.
Set of balls 11 and draw machine Arthur were used.
One ticket-holder matched all five numbers to win the £350,000 top prize in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.
Thirteen players won £13,000 for matching four of the five numbers.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 05, 17, 27, 37, 39 and the Thunderball number was 13.
No ticket-holders won £500,000 for matching all five numbers and the Thunderball, while two players won £5,000 for matching five numbers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
