Lotto Jackpot Rolls Over to £5.2 Million

No one claimed the top prize in Saturday's National Lottery Lotto draw, causing the jackpot to roll over to an estimated £5.2 million for Wednesday's game.

The draw, held on November 22, featured main numbers 9, 11, 14, 43, 49 and 59, with a bonus number of 35. Although no ticket holder matched all six main numbers to win the £3.9 million jackpot, three players each secured £1 million by matching five main numbers plus the bonus. An additional 39 players won £1,750 apiece for matching five main numbers without the bonus.

The rollover follows a pattern of unclaimed prizes, including the previous Wednesday's draw where the jackpot also went unawarded. That earlier game had produced one £1 million winner for five numbers plus the bonus, with main numbers 15, 18, 36, 50, 51 and 57, and bonus 10. Saturday's outcome keeps the excitement building ahead of the holiday season, as larger jackpots often draw more participants seeking life-changing sums.

In the companion Lotto HotPicks game, which uses the same numbers, no one matched all five for the £350,000 top prize. Two players each took home £13,000 by matching four out of five numbers.
