The winning Lotto numbers were 09, 15, 36, 37, 42 and 43, the bonus number was 50.
No-one matched all six main numbers, meaning the jackpot was missed.

Additionally, 56 other ticket holders all won £8,788 after matching five numbers.
Set of balls seven and draw machine Arthur were used.

Six ticket holders took home £13,000 each by matching four of the five numbers.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 01, 03, 19, 33 and 38, the Thunderball was 11.
No ticket-holders won £500,000 by matching all five numbers plus the Thunderball.
