Tonight’s National Lottery draw offers a life-changing jackpot of £4.7 million up for grabs. Winning this amount could potentially allow you to quit your job, purchase your dream home, and explore the world. To participate, players need to match all six numbers, with odds of approximately 1 in 45,057,474.
The winning numbers for tonight’s draw are as follows: Round 1 – 26, 31, 36, 41, 45, 51, and bonus ball 16; Round 2 – 2, 14, 18, 40, 48, 55, and bonus ball 56. Additionally, the Thunderball numbers are 13, 16, 23, 25, 26, with the Thunderball being 4.
Following the lack of a winner in Saturday’s Lotto jackpot, the prize rolls over to tonight, increasing the offering to £6.4 million for this Saturday’s draw. However, one individual did manage to match five of six numbers plus the bonus to win £1 million.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, expressed, “The new Lotto format has created another millionaire. The Round 2 winner joins three other £1M winners from last Saturday’s draw, bringing the total number of Lotto millionaires made in 2026 to 68 so far.”
Under the new format, players have two opportunities to win on every £2 line, with two separate rounds in each draw. The jackpot now stands at an estimated £6.4M for Saturday’s draw.
Playing the National Lottery not only offers the chance to win but also contributes around £33M weekly to projects that benefit communities across the UK.
To win tonight’s draw, participants must match all six main numbers for a jackpot prize of £1 million or match five main numbers plus the bonus ball for a fixed £1 million prize. The jackpot will be split between both rounds, while other prize tiers will continue to provide fixed cash prizes per round.
With the new two-round format, players can win a prize by matching two or more main numbers in a single round. The Lotto HotPicks add-on game, priced at £1, will also adopt the new two-round format.
As of June 7, each week’s Lotto draws consist of two separate draws, offering players increased winning chances. Players still select six numbers from 59 balls and purchase a £2 ticket as usual. The game now follows a two-round format, drawing two sets of six main numbers and a bonus ball from separate machines, enabling players to win in either round one, round two, or both rounds from a single line.
Players have the option to set limits for National Lottery games in their online account’s spend and play settings and utilize the budget calculator to monitor monthly spending.
