Saturday Lotto split three ways

Last Updated: Friday 8th April 2011, 13:01

Friday’s Euromillions lottery draw may have rolled over, but Saturday more than made up for it for UK Lottery players. The £4.7 million Lotto jackpot was split three ways this Saturday as three players in the UK matched all six winning numbers in the draw. It’s a life-changing lottery prize for three separate players, so if you haven’t yet checked last night’s lottery results, it’s time to do so now to see if you were one of the big Saturday night Lottery winners.

It was a big night for winners on the National Lottery, with over £14 million paid out in prizes across the UK. £4.7 million of that total was made up of the jackpot, which split three ways gave each player a little over £1.5 million. Another twelve players matched five of the main lottery balls and the bonus and each of those players will collect over £100,000! Add that to all the low-level lottery winners and it totals £14 million and a lot of lottery winners.

Arthur was the machine used for last night’s draw, the fourth time in five draws it has been used, but set of balls number 2 from last night, hasn’t made an appearance since 15th January!

The next UK Lotto draw is on Wednesday evening, and with last night’s jackpot won, the jackpot on Wednesday evening is an estimated £2.4 million. Lottery tickets are on sale for the draw, but don’t forget to check back for all the news and lottery results!
