The National Lottery will share the results of the Lotto draw tonight, with a jackpot of £2million up for grabs. A jackpot can only rollover five times before it must be won in the following draw. If no player matches all the numbers on the sixth draw, a rolldown occurs, and the entire prize will be split among winners in the next tiers. Tonight, however, if no winner is present, the jackpot will rollover, as one lucky winner scooped £15m on Saturday.
Also available in tonight’s draw is the Thunderball, offering players the chance to win a life-changing prize. Anyone who manages to match all five numbers along with the Thunderball could secure a jackpot of £500,000.

To play the standard UK Lotto, you must select six numbers from 1 to 59. Draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday, and the goal is to match your chosen numbers with the randomly drawn numbers to win a prize.
You can choose to play your selected numbers for a single draw or for up to several weeks in advance. A single line of numbers for one draw costs £2.00.
You can play multiple lines at once (up to seven lines per slip and 10 slips at a time).
During the draw, six main numbers and one “Bonus Ball” are randomly selected. You win a prize by matching at least two of your selected numbers with the main numbers drawn.
In a “Must Be Won” draw, if no one matches all six main numbers for the jackpot, the prize money “rolls down” and is shared among players who matched two or more main numbers, boosting their prizes.
You can purchase tickets from a physical retailer or online via the National Lottery website.
Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the Lotto draw, where an incredible £2 million is up for grabs.
Please follow along for updates as they become available.
