Lotto jackpot rises to £5.1M for tonight's draw

Tonight's Lotto jackpot is an estimated £5.1M, which could be won by one lucky person if they manage to match all of the numbers.

This life-changing sum of money would be awarded to the player who matches all six of the numbers drawn. But some cash can still be won by matching some of the numbers drawn.

Matching five main numbers plus the bonus ball will win players a chunky sum of £1,000,000, whereas matching five main numbers will secure you £1,750.

Thunderball prize and ticket details

On top of the jackpot £4.3M Lotto prize, one person could also win up to £500,000 in the Thunderball game taking place at 8.15pm, shortly after the Lotto draw which takes place at 8pm. To be in with a chance of winning, you must have bought a ticket by 7.30pm. Tickets cost £2.

Tonight's draw comes after one Lotto player in Greater Manchester scooped a life-changing £1M after coming forward to claim the whopping sum of money. After a national appeal by The National Lottery, a missing Lotto millionaire in Tameside last month came forward to claim their prize, four months after their winning numbers came up.

The winning ticket was bought in Tameside for the Lotto draw on Wednesday, July 1, and matched five main numbers plus the Bonus Ball in Round 2 to win an incredible £1M. The winning numbers were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
