The National Lottery Lotto jackpot has reached a staggering £5.2 million for a double rollover draw held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. This impressive sum is sure to make this Easter unforgettable for the lucky winner, who will find their life transformed into one of luxury and financial security. With the potential to enjoy as many Easter eggs as one could wish for, the excitement is palpable.
To win the jackpot, players needed to match all six main numbers, while there were additional prizes for matching five numbers plus the bonus ball and for matching three or more balls. The winning numbers for the Lotto draw on April 16 were 27, 36, 39, 48, 57, 59, with the bonus ball being 45. Meanwhile, the Thunderball numbers drawn were 24, 28, 34, 35, 39, and the Thunderball was 11.
In an exciting update from the draw, one fortunate player did indeed win the £5.2 million jackpot. Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, expressed his delight, stating, “What wonderful news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight’s £5.2 million jackpot.” He also noted that this win marks the second Lotto jackpot victory this month, following another lucky ticket-holder who won £7.3 million on April 5.
However, not all players were so lucky. No ticket-holders managed to match five numbers plus the bonus ball to win the £1 million prize. Additionally, no players won the top Thunderball prize of £500,000 for matching all five numbers plus the Thunderball. Nevertheless, one player did match five numbers in the Thunderball draw and won £5,000.
For those who enjoy playing the Lotto, it costs just £2 per play. Tickets can be purchased throughout the week and on draw days—Saturday and Wednesday—up until 7:30 PM. In addition to the Lotto, players can also participate in EuroMillions every Tuesday and Friday, as well as the Set for Life game on Mondays and Thursdays. The Thunderball draw occurs every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, offering a top prize of £500,000.
Looking ahead, the excitement continues with Saturday’s Lotto draw, which will feature a special £15 million Must Be Won jackpot. This means that if no one wins the jackpot in that draw, the prize will be distributed among the winners of the next prize tier.
In summary, the recent Lotto draw has brought joy to one lucky player who will now enjoy a life-changing sum of money. The National Lottery continues to be a source of excitement for many, with the potential for significant wins and the thrill of the draw keeping players engaged.
