A life-changing prize of £4.2 million is available in tonight’s National Lottery draw.
Recently, the National Lottery introduced an exciting new format known as the “New Lotto.” According to the organisers, “New Lotto is here and it’s twice as exciting. Each Wednesday and Saturday Lotto draw will feature two rounds.”
This means that for every line of numbers played, there are now two chances to win a prize for the same ticket price. Additionally, the number of millionaires expected to be made is more than double previous figures.

Matching all six numbers in either round will result in winning the jackpot as before. However, the jackpot prize will be shared across both rounds. This change increases the chances of winning but also raises the possibility of sharing the jackpot with other winners.
The National Lottery organisation has stated that these changes are designed to create more winners and millionaires than ever before.
Below are the winning Lotto numbers for this evening’s draw:
Round 1: 28, 6, 54, 33, 43, 2
Bonus Ball: 55
Round 2: 24, 45, 2, 59, 41, 43
Bonus Ball: 54
In addition, the winning Thunderball numbers for tonight are: 18, 20, 7, 19, 12
Thunderball: 11
Tickets can be purchased throughout the week, with sales closing at 7:30 pm on draw days, which are Wednesdays and Saturdays.
For players interested in other games, EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday, while the Set for Life game is held on Mondays and Thursdays.
The Thunderball draws occur every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, offering a top prize of £500,000.
It is worth noting that proceeds from lottery ticket sales contribute millions of pounds to good causes across the country.
Best of luck to all players!
