Huge £7.3m Saturday lottery jackpot won by lucky single ticket holder

A lucky punter has scooped the £7.3 million Lotto jackpot by matching all six main numbers, the operator has announced.

He added: "What a way to start the month for this lucky Lotto player. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner."

Meanwhile, there was disappointment for players aiming for the next tier prize as no entrants matched five out of six main numbers plus the bonus to claim a cool million pounds.

The Lotto HotPicks, which shares numbers with the Lotto, also failed to find a top-tier winner since no one correctly matched five out of five numbers.

Nor was there a Thunderball winner, leaving the £500,000 top prize unclaimed. Allwyn has revealed that this Wednesday's Lotto jackpot is estimated to be a still hefty £2 million.
