UK Lotto jackpot split down the middle

Last Updated: Sunday 17th July 2011, 19:15

Last night’s UK Lotto jackpot was split right down the middle last night as two lucky players matched all the winning numbers in the draw. If you bought lottery tickets for last night’s Lotto draw then now is the time to take a check on the lottery results, as you may be one of the lucky winners from the draw. In all, there was almost £14 million paid out in prize money, creating lots of lucky winners.

Arthur was the lottery machine used for last night’s UK Lotto draw, last seen on Wednesday evening and a popular machine over the last few weeks. The balls were set of balls number 3, also last seen on Wednesday evening.

In total there were over 600,000 lucky winners across the UK, winning everything from a share of the jackpot, to £10 for matching three main balls. A massive 14 players matched five main balls and the bonus, each of those collected over £90,000 and the jackpot winners will collect over £2 million each.

It’s been the end of a lucky weekend for UK Lottery players. Friday’s Euromillions may have rolled, but there was a UK millionaire created on the Millionaire Raffle, and last night, two millionaires were created in the main Lotto draw, and one player won the Thunderball, collecting £500,000.

The next big chance for lottery players in the UK is now on Tuesday evening, when the Euromillions double rollover goes up for grabs. That jackpot is an estimated £29 million so if you’re buying lottery tickets for that draw, then there’s just a couple of days left!
