Next Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot will be back to its usual non-rollover amount of just £2 million after nobody scooped the £11.6 million top prize on Saturday.
Not one player matched all six numbers to claim the massive amount, and so under Lotto rules the fortune was shared among the next winning prize tiers, including 74 ticket-holders who matched five numbers to win £5,421 each. In all, 1,430,320 winners will share the £11.6million in varying amounts according to the number of matches they achieved.
Camelot spokesman Andy Carter said: “It’s amazing news for 1.2 million Lotto players who have won £5 plus a free lucky dip for matching just two main numbers in tonight’s draw. On top of this, 129,634 ticket-holders scooped £65, instead of £30, for matching just three main numbers. As no ticket-holder won the jackpot, the prize is shared between all the other winners, making it a sizzlingly sensational winning weekend.”
The winning Lotto numbers were 02, 12, 19, 32, 54, 58 – and the bonus number was 23 The set of balls four and draw machine Merlin were used.
No-one matched all five numbers to win the Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same balls as the main draw, though one person had four numbers to claim £13,000. The winning Thunderball numbers were: 04, 05, 11, 12, 27 – and the Thunderball was 07.
No-one bagged the top prize of £500,000, but three people won the second prize of £5,000.
