Three new millionaires were created in Saturday’s £20 million “must be won” National Lottery draw – even though no-one scooped the jackpot.
While no ticketholders matched all six main numbers, three matched five and the bonus to each win £1,123,563.
Senior winners’ adviser Andy Carter said 1.5 million people also won £5 and a free Lucky Dip just for matching two main numbers in the “royally special” jackpot rolldown.
“As no ticket-holder won the jackpot, the prize is shared between all the other winners,” he said.

Saturday’s winning Lotto numbers were 03, 23, 33, 36, 54, 55 and the bonus number was 07.
Set of balls number five and draw machine Guinevere were used.
Eighty-six ticketholders matched five of six balls to win £8,933, and 6,255 people matched four of six to secure £278.
No ticket-holder matched five out of five Lotto HotPicks numbers – the same as for the Lotto draw – to bag £350,000.
But three players matched four out of five to win £13,000 each.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 05, 06, 25, 28, 34 and the Thunderball was 05.
No-one matched all five plus the Thunderball to scoop £500,000.
