Lotto draw sees no jackpot winner as £8.2m rolls to £10.3m ahead of Saturday
The Lotto draw on Wednesday produced a full set of winning numbers but no player matched all six main balls, setting up a £10. 3m jackpot for Saturday. The outcome matters now because the unclaimed £8. 2m prize will increase the next Lotto pot and because the Thunderball top prize remains available on Friday.
Lotto numbers from Wednesday draw
The winning Lotto numbers from Wednesday were 31, 34, 36, 41, 54 and 57, with the bonus ball 27. The game had opened the week with an advertised £8. 2m jackpot; because no ticket matched all six main numbers, that £8. 2m will roll over to create a £10. 3m jackpot for the next draw on Saturday, February 28. There were also no winners who matched five main numbers plus the bonus ball.
Thunderball numbers and next draw
The Thunderball draw produced the main numbers 02, 11, 21, 31 and 38, with the Thunderball 05. No player matched all five main numbers with the Thunderball, and no ticket matched the five main numbers alone. The Thunderball jackpot does not roll over; the top prize will therefore be the same £500, 000 for the next Thunderball draw on Friday, February 27. The Thunderball draw is scheduled slightly after the Lotto draw, typically around 8. 15pm.
Lotto HotPicks winners and prize breakdown
Lotto HotPicks uses the same numbers drawn in the Lotto game and offers players the choice of how many numbers to match. In the HotPicks played on Wednesday there were no five-out-of-five winners. Two players matched four out of four and each claimed £13, 000. A further 147 players matched three out of three and won £800 each. There were 2, 013 winners of £60 for matching two numbers in HotPicks, and 3, 319 players took home £6 for matching a single number.
Prizes across the Lotto card and player counts
On the main Lotto ticket 26 players won £1, 750 each after matching five main numbers. Thousands of other players claimed lower-tier prizes across both Lotto and Thunderball draws. Players were reminded to double-check their tickets. The Lotto game costs £2 per play and draws take place at 8pm every Wednesday and Saturday, with the Thunderball draw following at about 8. 15pm.
Public impact and wider details
The National Lottery’s Lotto contributes to wider causes: playing the Lotto helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes. For individuals the difference between winning and rolling over is substantial; players who had held hopes of instantly accessing the £8. 2m prize will now see the jackpot grow to £10. 3m for the Saturday draw. What makes this notable is the combined effect of a sizable rollover and continued Thunderball interest, which tends to concentrate ticket sales into the next two draws.
