What Were the Winning Lotto Numbers on Saturday 27 June?
The Lotto draw on Saturday 27 June 2026 produced two complete sets of winning numbers under the National Lottery's updated format.
In Round 1, the main balls drawn were 22, 34, 41, 43, 54 and 56, with bonus ball 24. Round 2 followed with 12, 18, 40, 43, 44 and 45, plus bonus ball 29.
Even partial matches can still pay out. Matching five main numbers plus the bonus ball wins £1 million, while matching two main numbers earns a free Lucky Dip, according to The Independent.
Why Was Saturday's Jackpot a Must-Be-Won Draw?
Going into Saturday 27 June, the National Lottery estimated the Lotto jackpot at £9.5 million after no ticket holder matched all six main numbers in either round of Wednesday's midweek draw.
That rollover triggered a must-be-won Saturday jackpot, meaning the top prize could not roll again. Four ticket holders still walked away as new millionaires on Wednesday, each matching five of six numbers plus the bonus ball for £1 million.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said the new format had created four more Lotto millionaires, bringing the 2026 total to 72 before Saturday's draw, as reported by NationalWorld.
How Does the New Two-Round Lotto Format Work?
The National Lottery introduced a redesigned Lotto game in June 2026, with each Wednesday and Saturday draw now featuring two separate rounds from two draw machines.
Players still pay £2 per line and pick six numbers from 1 to 59. Each line now gets two chances to win in a single evening, and matching all six in either round wins a share of the jackpot.
The operator says the change is expected to more than double annual Lotto millionaires and improve overall odds of winning any prize. For more on how sudden wealth reshapes lives, explore our Net Worth & Wealth coverage.
