Lucky lotto player scoops whopping £4million jackpot in Saturday’s draw as players urged to check tickets

ONE lucky Brit has won an eye-watering £4 million in the January 11, 2025, Lotto draw.

Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, is urging players to check their tickets so the lucky winner can claim their prize.

In order to take home the life-changing Lotto prize, players need to match all six of their own numbers with the ones chosen randomly by The National Lottery.

The winning numbers on Saturday’s draw were 02, 06, 10, 12, 28 and 29.

There was also a bonus number which was 57.

However, the winner of the draw is yet to claim their prize money which totals an incredible £4,033,571.

In light of the win, the senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, Andy Carter, has urged the lucky Brit to come forward.

Andy said: “Wow, what incredible news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s £4 million Lotto jackpot.

“What a Lotto luck already this year, as that makes it two jackpot wins in a week after another lucky ticket-holder won the £7.5 million Lotto jackpot last Saturday (January 4).

“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.”

Another player won big on January 11, in the Lotto Hotpicks game which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.

That lucky person scooped an eye-watering £350,000.

27 other players took home £13,000 by matching four of the five numbers in the lotto draw.

Much of the money generated by The National Lottery is used to fund community projects across the UK.

Speaking about the amazing work that the National Lottery does, Andy said: “Each week, players help generate around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects.

“With over 700,000 grants awarded to date, this funding touches every part of the UK.

“From supporting the arts and sports sectors to empowering local community groups and preserving iconic British landmarks, players’ participation makes a difference every single day.”
