National Lottery Lotto Draw Produces £6.6 Million Jackpot with Two New Millionaires

The National Lottery's latest draw produced a £6.6 million jackpot, with two players each claiming £1 million prizes by matching five numbers plus the bonus ball. The draw also activated the Millionaire Raffle feature, guaranteeing ten additional winners of £1 million each.

Draw Results and Winning Numbers

The evening's Lotto draw generated two separate rounds of winning combinations. Round one numbers were 45, 09, 22, 36, 13, 40 with bonus ball 41, while round two produced 40, 58, 42, 13, 02, 22 with bonus ball 54. The Thunderball supplementary draw delivered numbers 23, 16, 14, 18, and 35.

Despite the substantial jackpot on offer, no player matched all six main numbers in either round to secure the top prize. However, two fortunate winners—one from each draw round—achieved five number matches plus the bonus ball, each receiving £1 million in prize money.

Millionaire Raffle and Prize Structure

The draw introduced the new Millionaire Raffle special format, which guarantees 10 winners of £1 million regardless of the main jackpot outcome. This addition expands winning opportunities beyond traditional number-matching mechanics. The Lotto HotPicks game, which uses identical numbers from the main draw, saw no players match all five numbers to claim the £175,000 prize pool available in that category.
