A £2 million jackpot awaits Lotto players in tonight’s National Lottery draw on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
The National Lottery recently introduced a new format for the Saturday Lotto. Now, each draw features two rounds, giving players double the chances to win with every line they play, while paying the same price. This change aims to create more winners, including a greater number of millionaires.
Jackpots are awarded to anyone matching all six numbers in either round. However, the jackpot prize is shared between both rounds, increasing the likelihood of multiple winners sharing the top prize.
