Appeal for Unclaimed £10.6m UK Lotto Jackpot

The National Lottery's Lotto draw on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, offered players a chance to win an 8.2 million jackpot, with winning numbers announced as 14, 16, 18, 22, 47 and 56, and a bonus ball of 54. The draw took place at 8 p.m. in the United Kingdom, following a triple rollover that built anticipation among participants. Tickets, costing £2 each, could be purchased until 7:30 p.m., allowing players to select six numbers from 1 to 59 or opt for a random Lucky Dip selection.

Alongside the Lotto results, the Thunderball draw that evening featured numbers 16, 26, 30, 31 and 36, with the Thunderball as 11, for a top prize of £500,000. Players matching all six Lotto numbers would secure the full jackpot, while those matching five plus the bonus ball could claim £1 million. Lower-tier prizes were available for partial matches, ensuring multiple winners across the games. The Lotto draws occur every Wednesday and Saturday, contributing to the National Lottery's ongoing funding of community projects, with 28 percent of ticket sales directed to good causes.

In a separate development, lottery officials issued an urgent appeal for the holder of an unclaimed £10.6 million Lotto jackpot...
