National Lottery Lotto results: Jackpot rolls over in new format game

No Lotto player scooped the jackpot – despite players having two chances to win big in the first draw in a new format. The National Lottery jackpot on Saturday (June 13) is now set to be an estimated £3.8 million after Wednesday night’s double draw failed to produce a winner.

It was the first time the new, two-chance format had been in use, which sees two separate sets of numbers drawn from different machines, giving players two chances to match the magic six for each £2 line. This means players can win in one round, the other or both, all from a single Lotto line.

However, no player matched all six on Wednesday, when the winning numbers were:

• Round 1: 01, 12, 25, 29, 40, 41. The bonus ball was 16
• Round 2: 02, 05, 12, 42, 47, 54. The bonus ball was 51

Despite no one winning the top prizes, 94 players matched five out of six numbers to win £1,000 each.

In the Lotto HotPicks game, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw, no player matched five out of five numbers, meaning the guaranteed prize per winner of £175,000 was missed.

The National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers were 01, 08, 12, 14, 24 and the Thunderball number was 10. No player matched five numbers plus the Thunderball so there were no winners for the guaranteed £500,000 prize.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at National Lottery operator Allwyn, said: “New Lotto is here. One ticket, two chances to win, and more winners. “As no one has won tonight’s £2m jackpot, Saturday’s draw will have an estimated £3.8 million jackpot on offer.

“It’s the start of a new chapter for Lotto, but every ticket played is about more than the chance to win – as players help raise around £33 million weekly for good cause projects that make a real difference across the UK.”

In the new game, players continue to pick six numbers from 59 balls. Jackpots still start at £2 million and can roll over up to five times before a must-be-won draw on the sixth time.

The updated game is expected to more than double the number of Lotto millionaires – from around 140 a year to about 345, while the odds of winning a prize will improve from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9, Allwyn previously said.
