A lucky ticket holder has scooped a £3.9million jackpot in Saturday's National Lottery draw.

The winner matched all six main numbers to claim the £3,989,857 prize in the April 26 draw.


The National Lottery is now urging players to check their tickets following the substantial win.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: "What fantastic news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight's £3.9million jackpot."

Players who think they might have won are being encouraged to check their tickets and contact the National Lottery if they believe they are the winner.

The winning Lotto numbers for Saturday's draw were 07, 08, 11, 32, 36, 59, with the bonus number 21.

This marks the third Lotto jackpot win in April alone.

"That makes it three Lotto jackpot wins so far this month after a lucky ticket-holder won the £7.3million jackpot on April 5 and another won the £5.2 million jackpot on April 16," Carter added.

The jackpot winner was not the only person celebrating after Saturday's draw.

One player also won £1million after matching five numbers and the bonus ball.

There were no winners of the Lotto HotPicks top prize of £350,000, as no players matched all five numbers.

However, two HotPicks players did win £13,000 each after matching four out of five numbers.
