We love nothing more than bringing you news of new millionaires on these pages, which mean as the midweek Lotto results roll in, we’re doubly excited! Two share the midweek UK Lotto jackpot, making two brand new millionaires for the UK! Now that’s the sort of news we all love to hear. Have you checked the lottery results yet? It’s quite possible you might be a big winner in the draw, so make sure you check the winning Lotto numbers before you buy tickets for the next draw.
The combination this week for the midweek Lotto draw was machine Arthur and set of balls number 8. Both combinations have been popular in recent weeks and certainly proved lucky for UK lottery players last night!
In total, £7.3 million will be paid out to winning lottery players in the draw, 280,000 of them in total. Two players each collect £1,222,509 each for matching all the winning numbers and another nine lucky players scoop £83,000 each for the 5+1 prize.
If this lot wasn’t enough lucky players for one evening, another UK lottery player scooped £500,000 for matching the Thunderball jackpot! If you buy tickets for the Thunderball Lottery make sure you check your winning numbers! There was over £1.6 million paid out in that draw, showing that the UK lottery draws are some of the best around!
The next Thunderball draw is on Friday evening, alongside the £13 million Euromillions jackpot and then on Saturday it’s the UK Lotto and Thunderball Lottery again, giving lottery players plenty to play for over the weekend!
