A lucky punter has scooped a £5.1million jackpot
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What wonderful news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s enormous £5.1 million Lotto jackpot.
“That makes two jackpot wins in a week, after another lucky ticket-holder won the £2 million jackpot in last Wednesday’s draw.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.”
The first National Lottery draw was held on November 19 1994 when seven winners shared a jackpot of £5,874,778.
The winning lottery numbers tonight were 13, 16, 23, 32, 37, 57 and the bonus ball is 15.
As well as being in with a chance of winning serious cash, playing the Lotto also helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes.
You can buy a ticket on draw days, Saturdays and Wednesdays, until 7.30pm.
The largest amount ever to be won by a single ticket holder was £42million, won in 1996.
