A life-changing prize of £4.2 million is available in tonight’s National Lottery draw, promising excitement and the chance to become one of the many new millionaires.
The National Lottery has recently introduced an update known as ‘New Lotto’, which adds twice the excitement to the Wednesday and Saturday draws. Each draw now features two rounds, offering players two opportunities to win a prize with every line of numbers played, all for the same ticket price.
Players who match all six numbers in either round will claim the jackpot, which is shared across both rounds. While this change increases the chances of winning, it also may result in jackpots being shared more often. According to the National Lottery, this new format is expected to create more winners and increase the number of millionaires.

Round 2: 24, 45, 2, 59, 41, 43 (Bonus Ball: 54)
In addition to the Lotto, the Thunderball numbers for tonight are: 18, 20, 7, 19, 12, with the Thunderball being 11. The Thunderball draw offers a top prize of £500,000 and takes place every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Tickets for the draws can be purchased throughout the week, with sales closing at 7:30pm on draw days (Wednesdays and Saturdays). For those interested in more opportunities to win, other games include the EuroMillions, held every Tuesday and Friday, and the Set for Life game, which takes place on Mondays and Thursdays.
It is worth noting that proceeds from lottery ticket sales support numerous good causes across the UK, contributing millions of pounds to worthwhile projects.
Good luck to all players this evening!
