UK and Irish Lotto Draws Yield No Jackpot Winners

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 featured multiple national lottery draws in the UK, Ireland and the United States. Jackpots varied from modest sums to multi-million pots.

UK Lotto and Thunderball outcomes

The UK Lotto landed in a quadruple rollover with a £2 million jackpot. The six main numbers were drawn at 8pm.

• Main Lotto numbers: 27, 29, 34, 36, 43, 59.
• Bonus ball: 37.

No ticket matched all six numbers, so the top prize will roll over. Twenty players matched five numbers. Each won £1,750.

A five-plus-bonus match would have paid £1 million. Matching two numbers rewarded a free lucky dip for a future draw.

The Thunderball draw followed the Lotto that evening. The game offered a top prize of £500,000.

• Thunderball numbers: 7, 10, 17, 31, 33.
• Thunderball: 11.

Thunderball runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets for both Lotto and Thunderball close at 7:30pm on draw day.

Lotto tickets cost £2 per entry. The National Lottery schedules Lotto on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Player support and community funding

The National Lottery channels millions each week to good causes across the UK. Those funds support charities, local projects and sport.

Allwyn, the operator, provides winners’ advisers for confirmed winners. Support includes emotional guidance and financial planning.

Irish Lotto results

The Irish Lotto jackpot stood at €5,926,078 on April 8. No ticket matched every number to claim the top prize.

• Main Lotto numbers: 1, 6, 20, 31, 33, 37.
• Bonus ball: 32.

Twenty players matched five numbers. Each received €1,093.

Lotto Plus 1 produced 15 winners at €500 each. Lotto Plus 2 returned six winners at €250 each.

The Irish Lotto Raffle awarded €500 apiece to 55 players. In total, over 67,000 players across Ireland won prizes.

Officials urged players to check tickets carefully after the draws. Filmogaz.com compiled the Irish draw figures from official statements.

Connecticut Lottery draws

Multiple Connecticut Lottery games were also held on April 8. Draws included Powerball, Cash 5, Play 3, Play 4 and Millionaire for Life.

• Powerball numbers: 03, 16, 17, 42, 52. Powerball: 03. Power Play: 2.
• Cash 5 numbers: 01, 20, 21, 26, 29.
• Millionaire for Life numbers: 06, 08, 25, 56, 58. Bonus: 01.

Play 3 and Play 4 drew multiple entries throughout the day. Small Connecticut prizes up to $599 are payable at retailers.

Larger prizes must be claimed at lottery claim centers or at headquarters with identification. Powerball draws occur Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Context and player takeaways

Both the UK and Irish draws on April 8 produced no jackpot winners. The lack of top prizes increases future rollover amounts.

Smaller-tier winners still populated many prize tiers. That kept thousands of players celebrating modest wins across both countries.

Players are reminded to check tickets and to seek professional advice if they win larger prizes. The games continue to fund community initiatives nationwide.
