In Saturday’s National Lottery draw, one fortunate ticket-holder won the £3.8 million Lotto jackpot by matching all six main numbers. The winning numbers were 9, 12, 13, 26, 38, and 40, with the bonus ball being 04.
Additionally, four players each matched five numbers plus the bonus ball, securing £1 million each. This remarkable outcome follows Wednesday’s draw, which saw six new Lotto millionaires crowned in a single night.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, commented: “What fantastic news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight’s £3.8 million jackpot. We encourage everyone to check their tickets carefully and contact us if they believe they are tonight’s lucky winner.”

In the Lotto HotPicks game—which uses the same numbers as the main Lotto draw—two players matched all five numbers to win £350,000 each.
The Thunderball numbers drawn were 14, 15, 26, 29, 37, with the Thunderball number 08. While no player matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to take the top prize, one ticket-holder matched five numbers and won £5,000.
Looking ahead, the estimated Lotto jackpot for Wednesday’s draw is expected to be around £2 million.
