🎉 Lotto Excitement! 🎉
This Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot is set at a whopping estimated £12.3 million! Why the excitement? Well, Saturday’s draw hit a technical snag causing a delay in announcing the winning numbers. Allwyn, the lottery operator, experienced a minor hiccup when the bonus ball didn’t drop as planned. But no worries—they got things back on track using an alternate machine with an independent adjudicator on hand to keep everything above board. Apologies all around for the wait!
Here’s the lowdown from the draw: Unfortunately, no one matched all six main numbers for the jackpot. But one lucky soul is £1 million richer for matching five numbers plus the bonus ball. 🎉 And a shoutout to the 82 players who snagged £1,750 each with five numbers. Wondering about the winning numbers? They were 04, 09, 28, 40, 42, 59, with the bonus ball at 55.
Over in the Lotto HotPicks world, three winners each nabbed £13,000 by matching four numbers, though no one hit the big five for the top prize. As for the Thunderball, the numbers were 09, 11, 13, 28, 34, plus Thunderball 13. Yet again, no one claimed the top prize, but three lucky players grabbed £5,000 each.
Who else will be buying a ticket for the next draw? It could be your lucky day! 🍀💷
Catch you later, and here’s hoping for a jackpot scoop next time! 🤞🎟️
