Single Winner of Weekend Rollover UK Lotto Jackpot
Last Updated: Thursday 22nd November 2018, 14:47
A single ticket holder succeeded in matching all six numbers in Saturday night’s UK Lotto to scoop the rollover jackpot of £7,959,312.
Early approximations had put Saturday’s top prize at £7 million but a surge in ticket sales at the last moment helped the actual jackpot on the night rise by almost £1 million.
The additional ticket sales meant good news for prize winners in the lower tiers too, as the seven players who matched all five main numbers and the Bonus Ball shared a total prize fund of £479,675, equating to £68,525 each, which was more than double the prize fund from the same tier on Wednesday.
In the remaining prize tiers, 176 ticket holders matched five main numbers to win £2,314 each followed by 12,448 ticket holders who matched four main numbers to win £173 each. Finally, 269,646 players matched three numbers to win the new set prize of £25.
In addition to the main prizes, the rollover meant that the number of Lotto Raffle prizes increased by 50, giving a total of 100 lucky players £20,000 each.
Saturday’s winning numbers and the 100 winning Lotto Raffle codes can be found by visiting the UK Lotto Results page. Players can use the handy Lotto Raffle Search box to see if their code has won a prize, so make sure you check both parts of your UK Lotto ticket to see if you’re one of the lucky weekend winners!
