Lotto draw on February 25 leaves £8.2m jackpot to roll over to £10.3m
Wednesday’s lotto draw produced winning numbers but no jackpot winner, meaning the £8. 2m prize will roll over to the next Lotto draw on Saturday, February 28. The same evening’s Thunderball produced its set of numbers and will offer a £500, 000 top prize again at the next draw on Friday, February 27.
Wednesday’s Lotto numbers drawn were 31, 34, 36, 41, 54 and 57 with a bonus ball of 27; the Thunderball numbers were 02, 11, 21, 31 and 38, with the Thunderball 05. The Lotto draw had been expected at 8: 00 p. m. ET and the Thunderball slightly later at 8: 15 p. m. ET, and the live-results feed for the night said it would be kept updated.
There were no winners who matched all six main Lotto numbers on February 25, so the £8. 2m jackpot will roll over to £10. 3m for the next draw on Saturday, February 28. There were also no winners who matched five main numbers plus the bonus ball; 26 players matched five main numbers and each won £1, 750. Thousands of other players won lower-amount prizes; players were reminded that each play costs £2 and that Lotto draws take place at 8: 00 p. m. every Wednesday and Saturday.
Lotto numbers and prize breakdown
The drawn Lotto sequence for the evening—31, 34, 36, 41, 54 and 57 with bonus 27—produced the prize breakdown above: no six-number winner, no five-plus-bonus winner, and 26 players collecting £1, 750 for matching five main numbers. The lack of a top winner triggered the automatic rollover to an advertised £10. 3m jackpot on Saturday, February 28.
HotPicks and lower-tier winners
The Lotto HotPicks game used the same numbers as the main draw. There were no five-of-five HotPicks winners; two players matched four out of four and claimed £13, 000 each. Another 147 players won £800 each by matching three of three, 2, 013 players won £60 each for matching two numbers, and 3, 319 people claimed £6 each for matching one number.
Thunderball outcome and next draw
The Thunderball draw produced 02, 11, 21, 31 and 38 with Thunderball 05. No player matched all five main numbers and the Thunderball, and no one matched the five main numbers alone. Four players won £250 each after matching four main numbers plus the Thunderball. Because the Thunderball jackpot does not roll over, its top prize will again be £500, 000 at the next Thunderball draw on Friday, February 27.
How to play, odds and wider notes
Players were reminded that a single play costs £2. Coverage for the evening noted that playing the Lotto helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes.
