Saturday night’s National Lottery Lotto draw on June 14, 2025, offered players a thrilling chance at a life-changing £4 million jackpot, thanks to a rollover that boosted the prize pot. As anticipation built, hopeful participants across the UK eagerly awaited the winning numbers, which were drawn at 8:00 PM. The excitement didn’t stop there, as the Thunderball draw followed shortly after at 8:15 PM, offering a top prize of £500,000.
The winning Lotto numbers for this Saturday were 42, 36, 48, 59, 8, and 20, with the Bonus Ball being 46. Meanwhile, the Thunderball numbers drawn were 6, 39, 28, 27, and 29, with the Thunderball itself being 1. Despite the significant jackpots on offer, no player matched all six main Lotto numbers to claim the £4 million prize, resulting in a double rollover. This means Wednesday’s draw is set to be even more lucrative, with an estimated jackpot soaring to £5.2 million.
One fortunate ticket holder did manage to snag the £1 million second prize by matching five of the six main numbers plus the bonus ball. Additionally, 41 players each won £1,750 by matching five numbers on their tickets. On the Thunderball front, while no one matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to win the £500,000 top prize, a single player matched five numbers to pocket £5,000.
Playing the Lotto costs £2 per ticket, and tickets can be purchased up until 7:30 PM on draw days, which occur every Wednesday and Saturday. The Thunderball game, with its £500,000 top prize, takes place more frequently—every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. For those looking for even more chances to win, the EuroMillions draws happen every Tuesday and Friday, while the Set for Life game is held on Mondays and Thursdays.
Saturday’s Lotto draw came on the heels of a massive £208 million EuroMillions jackpot from Friday, June 13, 2025, which remains unclaimed and will roll over to the next draw on Tuesday. This record-setting prize was the largest ever National Lottery jackpot in the UK, surpassing previous wins such as the anonymous £195 million EuroMillions jackpot won on July 19, 2022, and the £184 million Lucky Dip win by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester in May 2022.
Since its inception on November 19, 1994, the UK National Lottery has become a staple of British life, creating over 7,400 millionaires and awarding more than £95 billion in prizes. It generates over nine million winners each week, with an average of seven new millionaires emerging regularly. The lottery’s financial structure allocates half of all money spent by players to the prize fund, with 28% directed to good causes across the UK, 12% going to the government as duty, 5% to retailers, and 5% to the lottery operator.
Beyond the chance to win big, playing the National Lottery also supports a wide range of charitable and community projects, with around £30 million raised weekly for good causes. This dual impact of entertainment and philanthropy keeps the lottery deeply embedded in UK society.
As players dream of what they could do with a £4 million windfall—whether it’s traveling the world, buying their dream home, or supporting family and charitable causes—the reality remains that the odds are tough. Still, the allure of transforming one’s life overnight keeps millions buying tickets every week.
With no jackpot winner on Saturday, the stakes are now higher than ever for Wednesday’s draw. The £5.2 million estimated jackpot promises to attract even more hopefuls looking to make their mark. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a casual participant, the National Lottery continues to offer a tantalizing mix of excitement, possibility, and community benefit.
So, as another weekend rolls around, the message is clear: buy your ticket, pick your lucky numbers, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the next name added to the growing list of UK lottery millionaires. But remember, play responsibly—after all, it’s all about having fun and dreaming big.
