A player secured £12 million after matching all six main numbers in Saturday’s Lotto draw. Additionally, three other players each won £1 million by correctly picking five numbers and the bonus ball, according to The Telegraph. This win followed another lucky player pocketing £7.8 million in the previous Wednesday’s ‘must be won’ draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at lottery operator Allwyn, described it as “incredible” that two jackpots had been won in a single week. Mr Carter added, “What a wonderful week for winning.”
Looking Ahead: Other Jackpots and New Games
National Lottery operator Allwyn had earlier highlighted a “golden opportunity” for retailers, with over £240 million across various jackpots just last weekend, as reported by Talking Retail. This included a £95 million EuroMillions jackpot on Friday, 11th September, and the special £12 million ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto draw on Saturday, 12th September – the same draw where the £12 million winner was made. The previous Wednesday’s draw also saw two additional millionaires created at the Match 5 + Bonus Ball tier.
Sunday morning’s Powerball jackpot was estimated at £120 million, with tickets available up until the 11:55 pm purchase cut-off on Saturday night.

This week also saw retailers beginning to stock the new £10 ‘When It’s Gold Outside’ Scratchcard. The game offers 37 chances to win on each individual card and has been designed as a premium-feel larger format Scratchcard with metallic gold details.
Karl Southworth, Allwyn’s head of field sales, remarked that with “kids back at school and the nights drawing in, now is the time for retailers to remind their customers that it’s all to play for.” He also emphasised that selling National Lottery tickets helps to raise “more than £30 million a week for National Lottery-funded Good Causes.”
