The National Lottery Lotto draw on Saturday, June 27, offers a jackpot of £9.5 million. The winning numbers will be announced at 8pm, followed by the Thunderball draw with a top prize of £500,000.
How the New Lotto Game Works
With the New Lotto game, each ticket gives two chances to win per draw, as every Wednesday and Saturday draw now features two rounds. Players can win a prize with each line of numbers played, at the same price.
Lottery History and Impact
Since its first draw on November 19, 1994, the UK National Lottery has distributed funds widely. Approximately half of ticket sales go to prizes, 28% supports good causes, 12% to government duty, 5% to retailers, and 5% to the operator. The largest Lotto prize was £35 million, won by a single anonymous ticket-holder in April 2016.
