A fortunate National Lottery player is celebrating tonight after discovering a life-changing win of £1 million. The revelation comes as the main draw offered a massive triple rollover jackpot of £9 million.
Tonight's Winning Lottery Numbers
The draw, which took place on Wednesday 7 January 2026, saw players across the UK hoping to match the lucky combination. To be in contention for the top prize, participants needed to have purchased their ticket and selected numbers before the 7.30pm deadline.
The winning Lotto numbers for the night were: 3, 9, 20, 33, 45, and 50. The all-important bonus ball drawn was 12.
How the Prize Tiers Work
Even without matching all six main numbers, players could still secure a significant cash prize. The second-highest prize of £1 million was awarded to any ticket matching five numbers plus the bonus ball. Furthermore, matching just two main numbers earned the player a free Lucky Dip ticket for a future draw.
The identity of the £1 million winner, described as a mother in the initial report, has not been publicly disclosed, but her life has undoubtedly been transformed.
Thunderball Results Awaited
Alongside the main Lotto draw, players also eagerly await the results of the Thunderball game. The winning numbers for this separate draw are expected to be announced shortly, offering another chance for participants to check their tickets for potential wins.
Lottery organisers remind all players to check their tickets carefully and to sign the back of any winning slip to ensure security. Those who believe they have won a substantial prize are advised to contact the National Lottery line to begin the claims process.
