Lotto Jackpot Win: Single Ticket-Holder Scoops £3.8m
A single ticket-holder has won the massive £3.8 million Lotto jackpot in Saturday’s draw, according to a report from LBC. The lucky player matched all six main numbers to take home the top prize.
The winning numbers for the draw were 09, 12, 13, 26, 38, 40, with a bonus number of 04. The draw was conducted using set of balls eight and draw machine Guinevere. In addition to the jackpot winner, four other players also won £1 million each after matching five out of six numbers plus the bonus ball.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, was quoted by LBC as saying, "What fantastic news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight’s £3.8 million jackpot. This follows Wednesday’s draw which saw an incredible six new Lotto millionaires made in one night." Mr Carter added that players are urged to check their tickets and contact the lottery operators if they believe they are the lucky winner.
The jackpot win is a significant one, coming just days after Wednesday’s draw, which saw six new millionaires made. LBC reports that two players also bagged the top prize in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw. These players matched five out of five numbers to win £350,000 each.
In other lottery news, the winning Thunderball numbers were 14, 15, 26, 29, 37, with a Thunderball number of 08. Unfortunately, no-one matched all five numbers and the Thunderball number to scoop the top prize, but one ticket-holder did match five numbers to win £5,000.
The estimated Lotto jackpot for Wednesday’s draw is £2 million, and players are eagerly awaiting the next draw. As reported by LBC, the lucky ticket-holder who won the £3.8 million jackpot is urged to come forward and claim their prize. The National Lottery’s operator, Allwyn, is encouraging players to check their tickets and contact them if they believe they have won.
The National Lottery has a long history of making dreams come true for its players, and this latest jackpot win is just another example of the life-changing prizes that can be won. As LBC reports, the £3.8 million jackpot win is a significant one, and the lucky ticket-holder will no doubt be thrilled to have won such a substantial prize.
