The weekend is almost over and it’s time to make sure you’ve checked all your lottery results for the weekend. The Euromillions rolled, and we all had our eyes on that one, however the UK Lotto jackpot was split four ways, creating four millionaires in a single evening. Last night’s UK Lotto jackpot was worth £4.6 million, which means each of the winners collects a life-changing £1.1 million for matching all six numbers in the main Lotto draw.
The UK Lotto draw went off as usual, without a single hitch. Guinevere was chosen as the lottery machine for the main draw, last used last Saturday night. For the balls, it was set of balls number 12 that was selected, and it’s the first time that set has been seen this year!
Maybe it was this that proved so lucky for lottery players, in addition to the jackpot, there was another £9 million paid out to lucky players who matched prizes in the lower tiers. Thirteen players collected over £100,000 for matching five main balls and the bonus, and there were plenty of smaller winners besides.
