A life-changing prize of £2 million awaits the lucky winner in tonight’s National Lottery draw.
Recently, the National Lottery introduced an exciting update known as New Lotto. As explained by 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 at the usual price, participants have two chances to win a prize. Additionally, the changes are expected to create more than double the number of millionaires compared to before.

The jackpot is won by matching all six numbers in either of the two rounds; however, the jackpot prize will be shared between winners from both rounds. While this increases the opportunities to win, it also raises the possibility of sharing the prize.
The National Lottery highlights that this change will “make more winners and millionaires than before”.
Here are the winning Lotto numbers for tonight’s draw:
Round 1: 11, 25, 27, 31, 32, 57 (Bonus Ball: 30)
Round 2: 22, 35, 36, 45, 51, 57 (Bonus Ball: 50)
In addition, the winning Thunderball numbers are:
6, 9, 16, 20, 36 (Thunderball: 6)
Tickets can be purchased throughout the week, with sales closing at 7.30pm on draw days, which take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
For those seeking other lottery opportunities, EuroMillions draws occur every Tuesday and Friday, while Set For Life is available on Mondays and Thursdays. Meanwhile, Thunderball draws happen on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, offering a top prize of £500,000.
Proceeds from the lottery help raise millions of pounds for good causes across the country.
Best of luck to all players this evening!
