Two National Lottery players have become millionaires after winning £1 million each in Wednesday’s Lotto draw, the first to take place under the game’s new format. The rule changes, implemented earlier this month, introduced a second round and a bonus number that created the top prize winners.
How the New Millionaires Won
One winner emerged in round one and another in round two, each matching five out of six main numbers plus the bonus number. The winning numbers for round one were 30, 35, 39, 45, 46, 53 with bonus number 37. Round two numbers were 3, 25, 31, 32, 34, 54 with bonus number 45.
Lotto Rule Changes
The National Lottery updated its Lotto rules earlier this month, adding a second draw round and altering the prize structure. The changes aim to create more millionaires and increase player engagement. According to Camelot, the operator, the new format offers more chances to win life-changing prizes.
Check Your Tickets
Players are urged to check their tickets from the July 8 draw, which took place at 8pm. The two winners have not yet come forward. National Lottery officials advise players to sign the back of their tickets and contact Camelot to claim their prizes.
