Brits have been urged to check their lottery tickets after one winner scooped the jackpot but is yet to claim the prize.
One lucky ticket holder scored Saturday’s ‘Must Be Won’ £15million jackpot after matching all six numbers.
Two others matched five numbers and the bonus ball – making them eligible for a £1million prize. The winning Lotto numbers were: 2, 20, 34, 40, 48 and 59 as well as the bonus ball six.
But the winner of the huge £15million jackpot is yet to claim their prize and has until August 29 to claim it.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Brilliant news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s incredible £15,000,000 ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot!
“What an exciting start to the month! Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.
“By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30,000,000 each week for National Lottery-funded projects.
“This money helps fund projects across the nation, with over 685,000 grants – supporting projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date.”
A further 84 ticket holders bagged an additional prize after matching five of the numbers, scoring £1,750. 5,553 people matched four numbers, winning £140 each.
No players managed to match five numbers to win the Lotto HotPicks, losing out on a £35,000 prize.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 15, 21, 22, 25, 30 and the Thunderball number was 10. No players matched five numbers and the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize.
