National Lottery: Lucky Lotto player scoops £4.3m as ‘fourth jackpot won in as many weeks’ One player matched all six main numbers to bag the jackpot, while two players matched five of the six numbers along with the bonus ball to win £1 million - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments Become an Independent member to bookmark this article Already a member? Log in Wednesday’s Lotto draw saw a single ticket-holder claim the £4.3 million jackpot, while two players secured £1 million each. The top prize was won by matching all six main numbers, while the two £1 million winners matched five main numbers plus the bonus ball. Saturday’s jackpot is estimated at £2 million. In Lotto HotPicks, which uses the main draw numbers, nobody matched all five digits needed for the £175,000 prize. However, three players matched four numbers to win £6,500 each. The winning Lotto numbers were: Round 1: 21, 28, 29, 37, 48, 57 and the bonus number was 25. Round 2: 04, 38, 43, 45, 51, 58 and the bonus number was 30. The winning Thunderball numbers were: 04, 09, 15, 33, 37 and the Thunderball number was 02. One player matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to win the top prize of £500,000. Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “The big Lotto wins keep coming, with the entire £4.3m jackpot snapped up in tonight’s draw. “This is now the fourth jackpot win on the game in just as many weeks. “And the wins keep coming, with a further two millionaires made after two ticket-holders matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball. “So, check those tickets, because you could be one of Lotto’s newest millionaires.” It comes as new research found that six in 10 people would share their lottery winnings with their partner if they hit the jackpot. A survey of 2,000 people by the National Lottery earlier this month revealed how UK players would share their winnings if they won the massive prize – ahead of a huge £318 million up for grabs this coming Tuesday in the Powerball draw. While 61 per cent said they would share the wealth with their partner, only 52 per cent said they would share it with their children. Mr Carter said: “While people may admit to a little harmless playfulness when imagining life as a millionaire, the research shows generosity remains a huge part of the dream, with most people saying they'd share their winnings with family, friends and the people who matter most to them, and more than a third saying they'd use their fortune to make a difference in the world.
