Tonight’s National Lottery offers players a chance to win a £2 million jackpot in an exciting new format. The revamped Lotto draw, launched recently, now features two rounds every Wednesday and Saturday, doubling the opportunities to win with each line of numbers played—at no extra cost.
The National Lottery explains: “New Lotto is here and it’s twice as exciting. Each draw will have two rounds, giving you two chances of winning a prize for the same ticket price. Best of all, more than twice as many millionaires are expected to be created.”
Jackpots are awarded to those matching all six numbers in either round, but the prize pool is shared across both rounds. This change increases the likelihood of winning, though it may also mean jackpots have to be divided among multiple winners.

According to the National Lottery, this new format is designed to generate more winners and create more millionaires than ever before.

Round One: 13, 33, 35, 40, 43, 54 | Bonus Ball: 56
Round Two: 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 | Bonus Ball: 54
The Thunderball results for tonight are: 3, 11, 19, 28, 31 with Thunderball number 3.
Tickets can be bought throughout the week, with purchase deadlines on draw days (Wednesdays and Saturdays) at 7:30 pm.
In addition to Lotto and Thunderball, players can also try their luck with EuroMillions on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the Set for Life game on Mondays and Thursdays. The Thunderball draw runs four times weekly—Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday—with a top prize of £500,000.
Every ticket purchased helps raise millions of pounds for good causes across the UK.
Good luck to all players!
