National Lottery Urgently Seeks Unclaimed Jackpot Winner

A National Lottery player has recently claimed a staggering £13.3 million jackpot from a “Must Be Won” Lotto draw. This significant win marks the end of several weeks of rollovers and is a moment of excitement for lottery enthusiasts across the nation.

Details of the Winning Draw

The winning ticket holder matched all six main numbers: 2, 5, 22, 35, 44, and 54, with 23 as the bonus ball. The draw took place to ensure the jackpot would be awarded after reaching its maximum rollover limit. Without a winner, the prize would have been distributed among those who matched fewer numbers.

Response from National Lottery Officials

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, expressed his joy over the win. He stated, “Just what we love to see, a big Lotto winner to kickstart the new year winning our ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot!”

Carter encouraged players to check their tickets. He said, “If you’ve played, please check your tickets and get in touch if you think you’re a big winner.” This sentiment reflects the excitement and anticipation surrounding potential wins across the lottery community.

Additional Prizes from the Draw

The Lotto draw also produced several other significant wins. Notably, two players each won £1 million by matching five main numbers along with the bonus ball. Furthermore, 63 participants received £1,750 each for matching five of the six main numbers.

Upcoming Lotto Opportunities

The next Lotto draw is scheduled for Saturday, with the jackpot currently estimated at £3.8 million. Following the clearance of the rollover fund, players are encouraged to purchase tickets either online or at local retailers. Tickets cost £2 per line, and sales will close at 7:30 pm on draw nights.
