THE NATIONAL Lottery results are in and it's time to find out who has won a life-changing amount of money tonight (October 8, 2025).
Could tonight's £2million jackpot see you handing in your notice, jetting off to the Bahamas or driving a new Porsche off a garage forecourt?
You can find out by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers below. Good luck!
Tonight’s National Lottery Lotto winning numbers are: 02, 21, 42, 48, 56, 57 and the Bonus Ball is 51.
Tonight’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 13, 16, 23, 26, 39 and the Thunderball is 03.
The first National Lottery draw was held on November 19 1994 when seven winners shared a jackpot of £5,874,778.
The largest amount ever to be won by a single ticket holder was £42million, won in 1996.
Gareth Bull, a 49-year-old builder, won £41million in November, 2020 and ended up knocking down his bungalow to make way for a luxury manor house with a pool.
Sue Davies, 64, bought a lottery ticket to celebrate ending five months of shielding during the pandemic — and won £500,000.
Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k – she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.
The biggest jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.
Another winner, Karl managed to bag £11million aged just 23 in 1996.
The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14million – BUT you've got to be in it to win it.

The GIST partnered with FanDuel to highlight women who are shaping the future of sports and sports betting industries, all making up the Bet on Women Series.
Despite hockey and tech being male-dominated spaces, Meghan Chayka not only carved out a place for herself, but also revolutionized the way we look at the game by co-founding Stathletes, a hockey analytics company, 13 years ago.
And she’s just as passionate about the progress of women’s sports and women in sports as she is about stats. Here’s some slices of knowledge she shared with The GIST:
On how to support women in sports: “Time, capital, and media coverage are probably the biggest, but there are many, even as an individual. Engage with content and attend games when they are in your area.”
When Kate Beirness was a 22-year-old aspiring on-air broadcaster, she turned down a paying job at Sportsnet to work for free at a local TV station and hone her skills. Three years later, she earned an on-air position at TSN.
That’s part of the reason why Beirness goes the extra mile to support her younger female colleagues, specifically in helping them not be intimidated by the industry.
It’s one thing to bet on FanDuel, it’s another when FanDuel bets on you. That’s exactly what happened to Tekeyah Singh, on-air talent at TSN, and one of the faces of the network’s partnership with FanDuel.
While Singh is quick to recognize the challenges that come with being a woman in the sports industry — like not being taken seriously, or facing hostility in male-dominanted spaces — she’s also proud that the industry is trending in the right direction.
Whether you’re watching Sportscentre or the big game, flip on TSN and you’re almost guaranteedto see FanDuel’s sports betting odds integrated into their coverage.
Shiu has a direct hand in shaping the way TSN evolves and adapts, and has made FanDuel a priority in her planning. She’s also a vocal supporter of women’s sports.
When sports betting officially became legal in Canada in 2021, FanDuel product manager Jasmine Smith was an integral part of bringing her company to eager fans north of the border.
But as she rocketed up the corporate ladder, Smith says she still faced negative internal dialogue like self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Relatable. Fortunately, she shared a couple of tips in conquering challenges:
On aiding the progress of women in sport: “…ensure that more women are hired into positions of influence. Women of all walks of life deserve a seat at the table, for without the diversity POV, we will continue to see biases and blind spots in decision making.”
Ever wonder about who sets the “odds” in sports? Like, where are these probabilities actually coming from?
A lifelong football fan, it wasn’t until Oros started asking a friend about every play and call that she became confident enough to sports bet and, later, leave her comfortable actuary job to pursue a career in sports trading.
And this experience had Oros thinking about inclusivity: “I absolutely love that sports and sports betting bring people together. But it can feel intimidating for people, especially women, to assert themselves into a realm where they haven’t felt a sense of belonging.”
“All of us sports-lovers can make conscious efforts to be inclusive by explaining the rules and strategies to those unfamiliar. Anyone can learn, and all of us should be eager to teach.” Now that’s the kind of advice we live by.
Sometimes to get to the top, you have to take a step sideways. At least that’s what Alex Gillan, director of partnership marketing at MLSE, credits her success to.
Working with big league Toronto teams like the NHL’s Maple Leafs, NBA’s Raptors, CFL’s Argos and MLS’s TFC is no easy feat, and it’s especially hard balancing life with kids. But Gillian’s found a way to make motherhood her super power:
“[Being a mom’s] made me a more empathetic leader, it's taught me to give others (and myself) grace, it's shown me how to be patient, taught me about balance and what really matters.” Mom goals, indeed.
What if it’s not about the destination or the journey, but instead about who you bring along for the ride?
Almost a decade ago, and despite being underqualified, Della Vedova was hired in a junior brand role at Rogers that changed the trajectory of her career: “It’s been a small reminder to push through those sneaking feelings of self-doubt. If a ‘stranger’ is willing to bet on me, I should bet on myself everyday.” Imposter syndrome, be gone!
Today, it’s in her job description to build community for sports bettors, but it’s in her heart to build up women in the industry: “more time on broadcast, more exposure in meetings, more opportunities on platforms of influence.”
One example? Through FanDuel’s partnership with TSN, segments like Meghan Chayka’s Strength in Numbers have carved out a space for women in a traditionally male-dominated field. Something we can get behind.
Not many people can say their job takes them from the boardroom to courtside, but as senior director of global partnerships at NBA Canada, Cheryl Sebastian’s responsibilities truly run the gamut.
When chatting with The GIST about being a woman in sports, and more specifically a woman of color, Sebastian called attention to a powerful Serena Williams quote: “It doesn't matter what your background is or where you come from, if you have dreams and goals, that's all that matters.”
As an associate director of public relations (PR) at Mint, Jamie Eisen’s role is crucial to shaping the public perception of FanDuel.
And Eisen’s impact has extended far beyond PR. After receiving mentorship early in her career that taught her to bet on herself, Eisen’s all about paying it forward and actively supporting other women in the industry.

Polymarket, the leading crypto-based prediction platform, now supports direct bitcoin deposits, allowing users to fund their accounts with BTC in addition to other supported cryptocurrencies.
Polymarket, the crypto-native prediction market, has added support for bitcoin deposits, giving users a direct way to fund their accounts with BTC alongside other existing crypto options.
The move coincides with bitcoin’s recent rally to all-time highs above $126,000, currently trading around $124,300, and reflects growing demand for crypto-native funding options on prediction platforms.
Polymarket has taken the world by storm over the past two years, emerging as the largest prediction market where users trade shares tied to the outcomes of real-world events — essentially betting on what the future holds.
NEW: The world's largest prediction market, PolyMarket, now officially supports #Bitcoin deposits 🙌 pic.twitter.com/VWj058yNBg
On Polymarket, traders are bullish about the bitcoin price. About 83% of participants now predict bitcoin will hit $130,000 this year, while 52% and 35% are betting on $140,000 and $150,000, respectively. Total long-term betting volume has exceeded $30.6 million.
Polymarket also accepts other crypto and stablecoins like USDC, USDT, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
Adding a layer of institutional intrigue, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, is reportedly considering a $2 billion investment in Polymarket. If completed, the deal could value the platform between $8 billion and $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Shayne Coplan, the 27-year-old founder of Polymarket, has become the youngest self-made billionaire after this investment, per Bloomberg. Just a few years ago, Coplan was a NYU dropout building Polymarket from his bathroom after becoming fascinated by the potential of prediction markets. 
Polymarket has already attracted notable investors, including 1789 Capital, backed by Donald Trump Jr., and acquired derivatives exchange QCEX for $112 million, gaining a U.S. CFTC license in the process.
Polymarket’s expansion comes after navigating significant regulatory hurdles. In 2022, the CFTC fined the platform $1.4 million for unregistered activities, and the Department of Justice conducted an investigation that was closed in 2025.
Founded in 2020, Polymarket gained traction during the 2024 U.S. presidential elections and has since integrated Chainlink oracles for price-focused contracts, launched earnings markets with U.S. clearance, and competes with regulated rivals like Kalshi.
