National Lottery Players Urged To Check Tickets As Winner Scoops £8.5m Lotto Jackpot

 © PA Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets

National Lottery players have been urged to check their tickets after one player scooped the £8.5 million Lotto jackpot. This marks the second major win on the game this month, after another winner banked £8.6m on May 11.

The winning numbers were 30 , 31 , 37 , 45 , 49 and 56 .

Andy Carter, the senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, hailed the multimillion-pound jackpot as 'amazing news'. He urged all players to check their tickets as soon as they can.

"This is the second big win this month after one lucky ticket-holder banked the giant £8.6m Lotto jackpot on 11 May," he said. "Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim this amazing prize."

If claimed, the sum would be enough to buy an eight-bedroom flat in Belgravia, a couple of islands in the Bahamas, or a fleet of 23 Rolls-Royce Phantoms. While substantial, the haul is still well below the £22.5m Lotto record set in 1995 by Mark Gardiner and Paul Maddison, who ran a double-glazing business in Hastings.

A further 23 players won £1,750 after picking five of the six numbers but missed out on a £1 million cash prize without the bonus number: 51. Nobody successfully picked the winning Thunderball combination – 22, 23, 24, 30, 37 plus the Thunderball number 02 – meaning the £500,000 prize went unclaimed.

However, 16 players won £250 by choosing four correct numbers in addition to the Thunderball number.
