The National Lottery Lotto and Thunderball draws take place on Saturday evening, offering life-changing sums of money. Tonight's Lotto jackpot is £3.8 million, with a new two-round format giving players two chances to win per line at no extra cost.
How the New Lotto Format Works
In round one, 59 balls are entered into the first draw machine. Six balls are drawn plus the bonus ball. Matching two or more numbers wins a prize. Round two uses a second set of 59 balls in a separate machine, again drawing six plus a bonus ball. The same Lotto line is used for both rounds.
Thunderball Draw
The Thunderball top prize is £500,000. To win, players must match all five main numbers plus the Thunderball number.
The Lotto draw occurs at 8pm BST, followed by Thunderball at 8.15pm. This page provides live updates as results are announced.
