A single ticket holder has won the £5.2 million jackpot in Wednesday’s Lotto draw.

Another player scooped £1 million, and players have been urged to check their tickets and call in to claim the top prize.

The winning Lotto numbers were 07, 15, 30, 36, 45 and 48 while the bonus number was 27.

The jackpot winner matched all six main numbers to take the £5,262,943 sum, while one player matched five numbers plus the bonus ball to become a millionaire.

Set of balls 5 and draw machine Merlin were used.

Saturday’s estimated jackpot will be £3.8 million.

No players matched all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.

However, five players won £13,000 each after they managed to match four numbers.

The winning Thunderball numbers were 11, 15, 16, 17 and 28 while the Thunderball was 10.

No-one matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize, but one ticket holder matched all five regular numbers to win £5,000.
