Players of the National Lottery have been urged to check their tickets after two ticket-holders matched the six main numbers to share the £3.8 million jackpot in Saturday’s Lotto draw.
The winning ticket-holders will take home £1.9 million each after they matched the six main Lotto numbers of 05, 07, 10, 17, 32, 42.
The bonus ball was 40, which another ticket-holder matched with five of the main numbers to bag £1 million.
Wednesday’s jackpot is now an estimated £2 million.
In Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as Lotto draw, one player matched all five numbers to scoop the £350,000 top prize.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 11, 30, 31, 36, 39 and the Thunderball number was 01.
No players won the £500,000 top prize by matching the five numbers plus the Thunderball, but two bagged £5,000 each after they matched the five main numbers.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “Wow, what a wonderful night of winning it’s been for Lotto players as two ticket-holders have shared tonight’s £3.8 million jackpot prize – just in time for Christmas!
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are one of tonight’s lucky winners.”
