Lotto jackpot of £10,633,323 won by one ticket in Saturday draw
One ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday's National Lottery Lotto draw to win a jackpot of £10,633,323, organisers said. The draw, held on October 4 at around 8pm, produced the winning main numbers 06, 08, 12, 33, 49 and 59, with 42 drawn as the bonus ball.
The top prize was claimed outright after a quadruple rollover had driven the advertised jackpot to roughly £10.6 million. No player matched five numbers plus the bonus to win the £1 million second-tier prize, but 78 players each won £1,750 for matching five main numbers. The outcome means Wednesday's Lotto jackpot is now estimated at about £2 million, organisers said.
The Thunderball draw, held shortly after the Lotto, produced numbers 12, 13, 15, 22 and 23, with 11 drawn as the Thunderball. The £500,000 Thunderball top prize was not won, but three players each won £5,000 for matching five numbers.
Organisers did not immediately release any personal details about the Lotto winner. Winners of the National Lottery can claim prizes through the official claims process and, in most cases, have the option to remain private; the Lotto operator typically publishes only limited information about winning tickets.
