How Does the New Lotto Format Change Your Odds?
The National Lottery’s refreshed Lotto game now runs two draw rounds, giving players extra opportunities to land a winning lottery result. As The Sun reported, the jackpot winner on 1 July — together with three £1 million prize winners — all matched their numbers in the second draw round.
That kind of win is only made possible by the new Lotto format and the extra opportunities it offers players, according to National Lottery officials quoted by the paper. On the same night, four players each won £1 million.
What Should You Do If You Think You Have Won?
Compare every line on your ticket carefully against both Lotto rounds and the Thunderball numbers published by The Independent.
Recent jackpot claimants have gone through the National Lottery’s validation process before receiving their prize. The ticket-holder can then decide whether or not to go public with their win — a choice facing anyone who matches all six numbers in a future draw.
