A single ticket holder has won a whopping £7.2 million jackpot in the latest Lotto draw, prompting lottery officials to urge players to check their tickets. The lucky winner matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s draw, taking home the massive prize.
The winning numbers were 14, 21, 42, 44, 50, and 55, with the bonus ball being 25. The jackpot had been rolling over for several weeks, leading to the impressive £7.2 million prize.
Lottery officials are now encouraging all players to double-check their tickets to see if they are the lucky winner. The winning ticket was purchased in the UK, but the exact location has not yet been revealed.
The National Lottery’s senior winners’ advisor, Andy Carter, congratulated the lucky ticket holder and encouraged them to come forward to claim their prize. He also reminded players to check their tickets, as there may be other winners who have yet to come forward.
This latest win adds to the long list of lucky Lotto jackpot winners in the UK. Just last month, a lucky player scooped a £20.1 million jackpot, while another player won £122 million in the EuroMillions draw.
The National Lottery has created over 5,100 millionaires since it was launched in 1994, with an average of seven new millionaires created every week. The money raised from ticket sales goes towards funding various projects and initiatives across the UK, including sports, arts, heritage, and community programs.
