Two players have each secured £1 million in Wednesday's Lotto draw, a month after the game's new format was introduced.
This brings the total number of millionaires created by the 'Two Chances to Win' system to 34.
The two new millionaires – one of whom won in round one and the other in round two – bagged the prize by matching five out of six numbers plus the bonus number.
No player matched all six main numbers in either draw to scoop the top prize.
Saturday’s Lotto jackpot will be an estimated £9.5 million.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Wow, what an incredible evening for players of the nation’s millionaire maker, Lotto, as two ticket-holders have won a fantastic £1 million in tonight’s draw, with one of them in Round 2.
“This takes the total to an amazing 34 Lotto millionaires made since the new ‘Two Chances to Win’ game format launched just over a month ago.
“And that’s not all, this Saturday, there will be a life-changing £9.5 million Lotto ‘Must Be Won’ jackpot up for grabs. Make sure to get your tickets early to be in with a chance to win.
“Beyond the wins, every week, National Lottery players help raise around £33 million for good cause projects that make a real difference to communities across the UK.”
The winning Lotto numbers were:
Round 1: – 04, 13, 14, 17, 23, 31 and the bonus number was 56.
Round 2: – 04, 40, 43, 51, 55, 57 and the bonus number was 34.
For the Lotto HotPicks game, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw, no player matched five out of five numbers to take home £175,000.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 08, 14, 17, 18, 34 – and the Thunderball number was 03.
No ticket holders matched all five numbers and the Thunderball to win £500,000.
