The National Lottery Lotto draw on Saturday, July 18, is a Must Be Won event with a guaranteed jackpot of £9.5 million. Unlike standard draws, the prize money is assured to be distributed, regardless of whether a single ticket matches all six main numbers.

How the Must Be Won Draw Works

In a Must Be Won draw, if no player matches all six main numbers, the jackpot undergoes a Rolldown. The National Lottery explains: "In a Lotto Must Be Won draw where no one wins the jackpot by matching six main numbers, there’s a Rolldown. This means the jackpot is shared by players matching two or more main numbers, so thousands can expect to win a boosted cash prize!"

Additional Prizes and Draw Times

Alongside the Lotto jackpot, the Thunderball game offers a top prize of up to £500,000. The Lotto draw takes place at 8pm, followed by the Thunderball draw at 8.15pm. Tickets must be purchased by 7.30pm and cost £2 each. Regular draws occur every Wednesday and Saturday for Lotto, Tuesday and Friday for EuroMillions, and Monday and Thursday for Set For Life.
