The winning player matched all six main numbers, securing a grand total of £4,004,523. This win marks the third Lotto jackpot victory of 2025, with the previous winners including a player who won £4 million on January 11 and a 20-year-old, James Clarkson from Carlisle, who scooped an incredible £7.5 million jackpot on January 4.
National Lottery’s senior winners’ advisor, Andy Carter from Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, expressed excitement about this year’s jackpot wins and encouraged all players to carefully examine their tickets and come forward if they believe they have hit the jackpot. The absence of any ticketholder matching five numbers alongside the bonus ball to win £1 million led to 85 players each winning £1,750 after matching five out of the six winning numbers which were 02, 13, 24, 29, 32, and 39, with a bonus number of 46. Set of balls 2 and draw machine Lancelot were used in the draw.
Moreover, participants in the Lotto HotPicks did not manage to match all five numbers to secure the £350,000 prize, with only four individuals matching four numbers to claim £13,000. The Thunderball draw on the same day produced the numbers 03, 20, 21, 27, 36 with the Thunderball being 08. Although the top prize of £500,000 remained unclaimed, four lucky ticket holders managed to win £5,000 each for matching five numbers.
With no winners of the £2 million estimated jackpot on Wednesday, players are being reminded to check their tickets thoroughly to avoid missing out on potential winnings. The excitement of winning big and the thrill of participating in such draws have undoubtedly captured the attention and hopes of many avid lottery enthusiasts.
