Three lucky individuals in the UK became millionaires in Saturday's National Lottery draw, despite no one winning the £11.8 million jackpot. Each winner matched five numbers and the bonus ball, taking home an impressive £1,043,000 each. The jackpot for Wednesday's draw is estimated to be £2 million.
No Jackpot Winner, but Three New Millionaires
In the latest National Lottery draw, no ticket-holder managed to match all six main numbers. However, three players were able to match five numbers and the bonus ball, instantly becoming millionaires with a prize of £1,043,000 each. This just goes to show that even without hitting the jackpot, incredible fortunes can still be made.
Winning Numbers and Thunderball
The winning numbers for the Lotto draw were 07, 14, 20, 29, 38, and 49, with the bonus number being 42. The Thunderball numbers were 18, 20, 24, 26, and 33, with the Thunderball itself being 14. While no one claimed the top prize of £500,000 in the Thunderball draw, two players did win £5,000 each for matching five numbers.
Other Winners in the Draw
Although no one won the Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the main draw, 14 tickets matched four numbers and won £13,000 each. It's always exciting to see multiple winners in different prize tiers, giving hope to players that a big win could be just around the corner.
A Stroke of Luck for Postcode Lottery Winners
Meanwhile, a man named Tony Frater won a £166,666 People's Postcode Lottery jackpot and claimed he knew he was going to win after a fortunate sign just hours before. Tony and five of his neighbors in Staplehurst, Kent, shared a £1 million prize. Tony's daughter, Kelly, also won her own "life-changing" lotto prize. It seems that luck was in the air for this fortunate family.
Remember, the next National Lottery draw could be your chance to become a millionaire. So get your tickets and keep your fingers crossed!
