It’s the weekend again, and what better way to top it all off than by winning the lottery. Tomorrow morning, someone could wake up a multi-millionaire with a £7.1m jackpot up for grabs in tonight’s National Lottery Lotto draw.
The winning Lotto numbers will be revealed at 8pm, with the Thunderball draw following shortly after, offering a top prize of £500,000. We’ll have all the results as they come in below.
Since its first draw on November 19, 1994, the UK National Lottery has distributed funds far beyond its winners. Around half of all ticket sales go towards prizes, while 28% supports good causes. The remainder is split between government duty (12%), retailers (5%), and the operator (5%).
Over the years, the lottery has created some eye-watering wins. The biggest ever Lotto prize came in April 2016, when a single anonymous ticket-holder scooped £35 million.
Winnings have also happened a lot closer to home, as just last month – retired Port Talbot Tata Steel workers won a lifechanging £1m. The syndicate played EuroMillions using the National Lottery app for the draw on Friday, February 27 and won after matching the millionaire maker code.
The question is, are you next?
