THE NATIONAL Lottery results are in and it's time to find out who has won a life-changing amount of money tonight (October 11, 2025).
Could tonight's £3.8million 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: 11, 17, 25, 31, 51, 54 and the Bonus Ball is 53.
Tonight’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 04, 16, 18, 26, 39 and the Thunderball is 08.
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 Pi Network price continued its crash this week as sentiment in the crypto market worsened. It was trading at $0.3473 on Tuesday morning, a few points above the all-time low. This retreat could be about to end as a major whale continues to accumulate.
The main reason why the Pi Network price may surge is that one anonymous whale is continuing to accumulate it. Data shows that the whale now holds over 376 million coins, currently valued at over $130 million.
This whale began accumulating the token in August and continues to buy more daily. His last purchase was of 667,403 coins worth over $231,589 on Sunday. If his trend continues, the whale will likely purchase more coins this week.

It is unclear who this whale is, but it seems like they are fully committed to the Pi Network and believe that the coin will rebound soon. It could be an ordinary investor, or it could be an insider who knows things the public does not.
For example, this whale could be an exchange executive who knows that his company will list the coin, a move that would lead to a parabolic move, as we have seen with other coins like Orca and Avantis.
In a recent article, BanklessTimes speculated that the whale could be Justin Sun, a crypto billionaire who is widely recognized as the de facto owner of HTX, a top cryptocurrency exchange. Sun has not responded to our queries about this.
The whale could also be someone connected to the Pi Network team members, who have likely shared with him some material information that could move the coin over time.
The whale’s purchases are notable because they are happening at a time when the Pi Network price has plunged by over 100% from its highest level this year and when the token unlocks are continuing.
The daily timeframe chart shows that the Pi crypto Network price has been under pressure in the past few months as attempts to buy the dip faltered. On the positive side, the coin has continued to form a falling wedge pattern, which comprises two descending and converging trendlines.
The spread between the three lines of the Bollinger Bands has narrowed substantially in the past few weeks, meaning that a squeeze is possible. Also, the coin could be in the accumulation phase of the Wyckoff Theory.
Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the coin bounces back and possibly retests the important resistance level at $1, which is much higher than the current $0.3475.

Key points:
A sharp reduction in aggregate open interest highlights the severity of the $20 billion in leveraged liquidations and highlights traders’ reluctance to re-enter the market.
Bitcoin selling and price weakness are likely to extend until CME BTC and equities futures markets open on Sunday evening, US hours.
The crypto market continues to reel from Friday’s historic sell-off, which resulted in over $20 billion in centralized exchange liquidations and several hundred million across the DeFi landscape. 
Traders were clearly caught off guard as President Trump’s 100% tariff on Chinese imports Truth Social Post sent shockwaves across the crypto market. Data from CoinGlass shows the severity of the flash-crash, and at the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to trade above $110,000, while other majors like Ether (ETH) and SOL (SOL) are down 3.74% and 7.0% respectively. 

Trump’s aptly timed tweet on Friday happened in the last 2 hours of the trading day for equities and regulated crypto trading venues, so there is a chance for extended price downside as volumes and orderbooks in CeFi and CEXs thin out over the weekend.
While speaking to Schwab Network anchor Nicole Petallides, Cointelegraph head of markets Ray Salmond explained how Bitcoin, Ether and several altcoins were ripe for exploitation according to liquidation heatmap data. 

Salmond added:

Currently, as Bitcoin struggles to trade above $110,000, the liquidation heatmap shows a pocket of leveraged long positions at $98,600, and BTC open interest highlights traders’ current reluctance to open fresh positions, at least in the perpetual future market. 

As shown in the chart below, global open interest across all cryptocurrencies (excluding BTC and ETH) also took a beating, with most exchanges seeing a near 45% reduction in OI. 

With Bitcoin and the wider market continuing to show weakness during the weekend, the most likely outcome is extended soft selling until CME futures markets for Bitcoin and equities futures open on Sunday evening. The nature of the futures open is likely to provide traders with insight into how TradFi “feels” about the current situation.
An uptick or normalization of global open interest in crypto markets and whether or not the trend remains down, stabilizes, or begins to trend up during this process will also be a tell on the emerging direction the market may choose.

The future of business payments is evolving before our eyes, and frankly, it’s about time. Crypto payroll systems are no longer just a concept—they’re making their way into our daily operations. In 2025, we’re seeing stablecoins take center stage, especially in freelancer invoicing. But what does this mean for traditional banking practices? Here’s my take on it.
Freelancers have long been waiting for a more stable and efficient payment solution. Stablecoins seem to be filling that void. They’re pegged to a stable asset, which means that, in theory, they should mitigate the usual price volatility we associate with cryptocurrencies. This has a few perks:
Firstly, you get faster payments. No more waiting days for your hard-earned money to reach your account. Secondly, you save on transaction fees, which, let’s be honest, is a godsend in this business. Thirdly, they’re globally accessible. No more banking barriers.
But, and this is a big but, adapting to stablecoins isn’t as simple as it sounds. With regulatory uncertainties and user-unfriendly invoicing platforms, it might take time for the freelance world to fully embrace this change.
For SMEs in Europe, crypto solutions are shaking things up in traditional banking. They’re not just an afterthought anymore; they’re part of the conversation. The integration of crypto banking for startups and businesses seems promising, offering speed, cost efficiency, and inclusivity. But, you’ve got to wonder: are banks catching up or just trying to stay relevant?
The positives are clear. Faster transactions, reduced costs, and more options for revenue streams are all good things. But the dark cloud hanging over is the regulatory complexity. Navigating these waters is going to be tricky, to say the least.
Let’s talk about one of the biggest worries: salary volatility. How do you manage it? Companies might have to put some serious thought into this. Hedging tools from OTC desks could be a part of the solution, as could smart contract integration to automate payments.
Educating employees about crypto risks might also be important. Transparency in salary disbursement practices is essential to maintain trust. But is that enough?
Freelancer invoicing using stablecoins is becoming more common, but is it a good thing? The benefits, like cost savings and flexibility, are nice. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are still regulatory and platform hurdles.
As we peer into the future, the role of cryptocurrency in business payments is becoming clearer. The rise of crypto payroll systems, especially through stablecoins, hints at a world where payments are faster and cheaper.
But the challenges are equally prominent. The businesses that adapt will be the ones that not only survive but thrive. Crypto is here, but is it here to stay?

Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has died after being attacked in jail, prison sources have confirmed.
The disgraced rock star from Pontypridd was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield for child sex offences.
West Yorkshire Police said they were called to the prison on Saturday morning to an assault on a prisoner, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Watkins, 48, was jailed in December 2013 for a string of child sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby.
A Prison Service spokesperson said it was aware of an incident at the prison.
"We are unable to comment further while the police investigate."
He was attacked with a knife by another inmate, PA reported, citing sources.
Police said detectives were investigating and inquiries ongoing at the scene.
He was attacked in prison in August 2023, but his injuries were not life threatening.
Watkins was sentenced to 29 years in prison with a further six years on licence, and his two co-defendants, the mothers of children he abused, were jailed for 14 and 17 years.
The attack at Wakefield Prison comes less than two weeks after a report into the facility was published that found violence there had "increased markedly".
The report from the chief inspector of prisons said: "Many prisoners told us they felt unsafe, particularly older men convicted of sexual offences who increasingly shared the prison with a growing cohort of younger prisoners."
Watkins admitted the attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13 but pleaded not guilty to rape.
He also admitted conspiring to rape a child, three counts of sexual assault involving children, seven involving taking, making or possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
Judges rejected an appeal by Watkins in 2014 to reduce the length of his jail term.
During sentencing, Mr Justice Royce said the case broke "new ground" and "plunged into new depths of depravity".
"Any decent person… will experience shock, revulsion and incredulity."
The judge said Watkins had a "corrupting influence", and had shown a "complete lack of remorse".
As a rock star in his 20s, Watkins sold millions of albums around the world and commanded huge arena crowds.
Formed in 1997, Welsh rock band Lostprophets released five studio albums in total, including a number one album in the UK and two top 10 singles.
They also saw some success in the US, where their second and third albums both reached the top 40.
After Watkins was sentenced, Des Mannion, NSPCC national head of service for Wales, said: "Watkins used his status and global fame as a means to manipulate people and sexually abuse children.
"But we must nevertheless remember that this case isn't about celebrity, it's about victims. And those victims are children."
