Two lucky players split £12.6m Lotto jackpot after matching all numbers

Two ticket holders have won tonight's £12.6million National Lottery jackpot, splitting it equally between them.

The winning Lotto numbers are 17, 27, 22, 25, 32, 35 and the bonus number is 05.

There had been five rollovers before tonight so we saw a 'Jackpot Rolldown' which is how the game guarantees a winner or winners.

This meant it must be won and, if no one had matched all 6 main numbers the Jackpot would have been shared by all cash winners.

But instead of this two incredibly lucky punters matched all six main numbers, bagging a prize of £6,317,431 each.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: "Tonight’s whopping £12.6M ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot has been won by two lucky Lotto players, each banking a £6.3M share of the jackpot.

"All players are urged to check their tickets to see if they are The National Lottery’s latest big jackpot winners.

"By buying a ticket for Lotto or any other National Lottery game, every player is helping to raise money for Good Causes.

"On average, around £30M is raised every week for projects across the UK, both big and small, including funding everything from local community projects to preserving the nation’s heritage.”

Three players also won £1,000,000 each by matching five out of 6 numbers and the bonus ball.

While 61 players won £1,750 each by matching five out of six numbers.

In the Lotto HotPicks, eight players won £13,000 each by matching four out of five.

Three players also won £5,000 each in the Thunderball draw by matching five numbers.
