“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, £30 million is generated every week for good causes right across the UK.
“This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girls’ football right across the four nations as the Lionesses made history in this year’s World Cup.”
