If a single ticket matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the UK could claim the nation’s biggest National Lottery win. The draw, conducted with numbers 24, 31, 34, 41 and 43 and Lucky Stars 06 and 08, followed a period in which the jackpot had rolled over multiple times before reaching its maximum.

The Must Be Won provision means the prize must be won in the current draw; if no ticket matches the full combination, the prize would roll down to the next prize tier with a winner. In addition, the game continues to operate on its regular schedule, with ticket sales closing at 7.30pm on draw nights and results published shortly after the draw, with around 2.89 million winners typically sharing the spoils across all prize tiers.
