A lucky single ticket has scooped a huge £11.6 million win on the Lotto.
It is the second time this month a single ticket has scooped a Must-Be-Won Jackpot, taking home a life-changing amount.
The National Lottery says the Thunderball jackpot was also won tonight.
The draw took place at 7.45pm and the winning numbers in the main Lotto draw were: 11, 14, 20, 35, 41, 46 and the bonus ball was 02.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, told the Mirror: “What amazing news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot – bagging a fantastic £11.6M!
“July is turning out to be a lucky month for Lotto players, as tonight’s big win follows on from a lucky ticket-holder who won the special £20M Lotto ‘Must Be Won’ jackpot on 1 July.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim this fabulous jackpot prize.”
The Lotto
As well as the top prize, four tickets won £1,000,000 each, and 91 have netted £1,750.
The Thunderball, with a top prize of £500,000, was drawn at 8.15pm, and the winning numbers were: 5, 9, 22, 29, 31 and the Thunderball is 7.
One ticket has taken home the Thunderball prize, too, and another has bagged £5,000. No one won the Lotto HotPicks, but seven tickets did take home £13,000.
To win the top prize in the main Lotto draw, participants must match all six main numbers.
If no one wins the main prize on a “Must-Be-Won” jackpot by matching all six numbers, it results in a “Rolldown”. This means the jackpot is shared by players matching 2 or more main numbers, so thousands can expect to win a boosted cash prize.
There are multiple chances to win the Lotto as draws take place every Saturday and Wednesday. To play the game, you choose six numbers from one to 59 or choose a lucky dip. It costs £2 per play.
As well as being in with a chance of winning serious cash, playing the Lotto also helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes. You can buy a ticket on draw days, Saturdays and Wednesdays, until 7.30pm. Find the winning numbers below as soon as they are drawn.
Mr Carter added: “Thanks to National Lottery players, £30M is generated every week for Good Causes right across the UK. This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girl’s football right across the four nations ahead of the Lionesses competing in this year’s World Cup.”
