Wednesday’s lottery jackpot will be an estimated £12.7 million “Must Be Won” fortune after no-one scooped Saturday’s top prize.
No ticket-holders matched all six main numbers to win the jackpot. Camelot’s Andy Carter, the National Lottery’s senior winners’ adviser, said: “It promises to be an exciting night for Lotto players on Wednesday with a whopping £12.7 million ‘Must Be Won’ jackpot up for grabs.”
He said that in a “Must Be Won” draw, if the jackpot is not won, then prize amount is shared out among the other prize tiers, “meaning lots of players could win lots more”. There were eight ticketholders in Saturday’s draw who matched five numbers and the bonus ball to win £1 million.
