Last Updated: Wednesday 14th May 2014, 13:27
The Lotto jackpot this Wednesday 26 March will be worth an estimated £6.5 million after no player was able to match all six main numbers drawn in the game at the weekend. The Lotto results for Saturday 22 March were 17, 20, 28, 39, 43 and 44, and the Bonus Ball was 40. Although the jackpot rolled over on Saturday, more than 254,000 consolation prizes were landed, and there were even more smiles when the Lotto Raffle game created an additional 50 winners of £20,000 each. The Lotto Raffle game will create 100 winners in the midweek game.
The second tier of the Lotto prize schedule awarded the sum of £37,729 to each of 11 tickets that matched five of the six main numbers and the Bonus Ball number. Another 195 tickets won £1,807 each for matching five main numbers only, and 11,900 tickets matched four numbers to win £156 each. There were 242,345 tickets that won £25 each for matching three main numbers.
The Health Lottery results for Saturday were 13, 19, 32, 40 and 49, with the number 10 selected as the Bonus Ball. There was no top prize winner in the weekend draw this time, but plenty of prizes were won at the lower levels, with over 64,000 prizes landed in total. Ten Hot Ticket raffle numbers helped the owners of matching tickets win up to £10,000 each.
All of the above results came in just one day after a single ticket won a EuroMillions jackpot worth £21,325,022. That ticket had been purchased by a player in Switzerland, and the EuroMillions results which made it a winner on Friday 21 March were 07, 30, 37, 39 and 42, with the numbers 05 and 07 appearing as the Lucky Stars. Although British players missed out on the EuroMillions jackpot, they fared well with the consolation prizes, collectively winning over £3.7 million. The biggest win of the night as far as UK players were concerned was landed in the Millionaire Raffle game, where one ticket landed a prize of £1 million by matching the number JZP613277.
Well done to everyone who had a winning weekend, and good luck to those of you who plan on getting even more fortunate in the week ahead. The EuroMillions game will offer a brand new jackpot of around £12 million this Tuesday 25 March, so be sure to buy your Lottery Tickets online for your chance to win big, and good luck with your numbers!
