You may have noticed the winning streak that has developed in the UK Lotto over the past few weeks. For every draw since the 7th January at least one ticket (sometimes more) has matched all six of the numbers drawn to win the top prize. This happened again in Wednesday’s draw meaning that it is now eight jackpot wins in a row for the UK Lotto. Therefore the question is, can any players win the jackpot tomorrow night to make it nine wins in a row, or will the top prize start to rollover?

The final EuroMillions draw of the month took place last night and there was a jackpot of just over £28 million available to win.

However, the results from this draw show that no players matched the five plus two number combination that was drawn, meaning that it is now a triple rollover for the EuroMillions jackpot.

This top prize had rolled over a total of six times before it was finally won in Wednesday’s draw.

Recently a winning streak has developed in the UK Lotto and in the past five draws the jackpot has been won, so the question is will this winning streak carry on in tonight’s draw? One ticket holder won the top prize in Saturday’s draw, meaning that the UK Lotto jackpot has gone back to basics for tonight’s draw and it is estimated at £2.2 million. Therefore it will be interesting to see if any players match the six numbers drawn tonight, or whether the jackpot will begin to rollover.
