National Lottery Lotto results: Numbers for tonight’s £9.5M ‘Must Be Won’ draw

Tonight, an eye-watering sum of £9.5M is guaranteed to be handed out in the Lotto draw on Saturday, July 18.

In a ‘must be won’ draw, the jackpot could be handed out to players regardless of whether one person matches all the numbers. In the instance in which no one wins the jackpot by matching the six main numbers, there’s a rolldown.

The National Lottery explains: “In a Lotto Must Be Won draw where no one wins the jackpot by matching six main numbers, there’s a Rolldown. This means the jackpot is shared by players matching two or more main numbers, so thousands can expect to win a boosted cash prize!”
