National Lottery latest – Massive £5.4 million Lotto rollover jackpot TOMORROW could change your life forever

SATURDAY'S National Lottery draw didn't see a jackpot win – meaning Wednesday's rollover prize now stands at a whopping £5.4million

The winning numbers for yesterday's Lotto draw, which took place 7.45pm, are 17, 18, 27, 28, 35 and 57, while the Bonus Ball was 51.

But no players won the jackpot – meaning Wednesday's draw will see a double rollover of over £5m up for grabs.

Saturday's winning Thunderball numbers came in at 17, 34, 37, 38, 39 with a Thunder Ball of 13.

Meanwhile, one lucky Brit won the eye-watering Set fof Life jackpot this week, after they picked the winning numbers in Thursday's Set For Life National Lottery draw.

The single winner secured the top prize by correctly matching all the numbers – 42, 39, 47, 31, 08 – as well as the Life Ball which was 10.

    CLAIMS MADE ON MULTIMILLION POUND NATIONAL LOTTERY PRIZES

    National Lottery players have made claims on two life-changing cash prizes.

    Camelot UK Lotteries Limited said it has received claims on a Lotto jackpot and a Set For Life top tier prize worth millions.

    A claim has come in for the £11,165,532 Lotto jackpot which was won by a single ticket-holder from the draw on August 14, while a second claim has come in for the £10,000-a-month-for-30-years top prize from the Set For Life draw on August 19.

    Camelot said the claims will go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the games rules terms and conditions are adhered to and the integrity of the National Lottery is protected.

    Subject to validation the prizes will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot’s winners’ advisers. Once the tickets have been validated and paid, the ticket-holders will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

    MAN SCOOPS £680,000 LOTTO JACKPOT BUT NEARLY MISSES OUT ON PRIZE AFTER THINKING WIN WAS ‘HOAX’ AS WIFE ‘DIDN’T BELIEVE HIM’

    The lucky winner, from Darwin, almost didn’t collect the money after being left in total disbelief when he saw all six of his numbers on the lottery app.

    “Usually, I get an email straight after the draw that tells me how close I am to winning division one,” the winner told Daily Mail Australia.

    “But this time, I didn’t, so when I woke up on Sunday morning, I logged into The Lott app and I saw I had all six numbers.

    “I thought ‘well, that’s strange’ and then I saw the prize amount, and I thought it must be some kind of hoax.”

    He was one of five winning entries in the TattsLotto draw with each person taking home £680,000 ($1,304,946.92).

    The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said it took some time for him to believe that he had scooped the massive prize.

    WE WON THE LOTTERY THEN GAVE WINNINGS AWAY BY MAKING PALS RICH & FLUSHING CASH DOWN THE LOO AFTER FIVE BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE’

    A £115million jackpot is probably enough to not just change your life, but the lives of everyone you’ve ever cared about too.

    Which is probably why Frances and Patrick Connolly decided to give over half of their winnings to 175 people.

    “We won £114,969,775.70 and we have given away more than half,” Frances said last year.

    “That’s £60million-worth of love. And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can’t think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven’t smiled.”

    CALLIE ROGERS CAMPAIGNING TO RAISE LEGAL AGE LIMIT TO PLAY THE LOTTERY

    Callie is now campaigning for the government to raise the age limit for the National Lottery.

    Gambling is now more popular among children than skateboarding and campaigners believe an age limit of 16 entices young people into a habit of betting.

    Callie feels she was too young to cope with the pressure and wants to stop other kids going through the same problems she faced.

    She told the Mirror: “You are only a 16, with all that responsibility. At that age, you can get the best advice ever. But you are not in a position to listen. I was too young.

    “I suffer from such bad anxiety when I am going to meet new people. It preys on my mind, what a new partner’s family will think of me, or even new friends. I still get abuse just because of who I am.”

    ‘TO HELL AND BACK’

    Maggie Loughrey was unemployed and living on benefits of £58 a week when she won £27million on the EuroMillions in 2013.

    At the time, Maggie from Strabane in Northern Ireland said she planned to keep just £1milllion of the jackpot for herself. By 2014, she revealed she’d already given away £13.5million and planned to spend the remaining £12.5 transforming her beloved home town.

    But despite her generous plans, Maggie has made headlines in more recent years for legal troubles and rows with local sporting groups. She even said the win had sent her “to hell and back”, despite her financial situation before hitting the jackpot.

    “Money has brought me nothing but grief. It has destroyed my life,” she told Sunday Life in 2019.

    “I have had six years of this. I don’t believe in religion, but if there is a hell, I have been in it. I regret winning the lottery, of course I do. I was a happy person before.”

    PIE ROLLER

    They say money can't buy you love – and it appears it can't buy you a decent Cornish pasty in Scotland either.

    Lottery jackpot winner Adrian Bayford has quit his home in Scotland — because he missed the iconic pasties and the English pub.

    The ex-postie, 49, had relocated north of the border, having abandoned his £12million English country estate after a string of failed romances.

    But pals say the friendly millionaire — who scooped £148million in 2012 — got fed up with the fancy Scottish pies and neeps and tatties.

    The final straw came when lockdown ended and the dad-of-two realised how much he was missing English pubs — with Scottish drinking focused on bars and hotels.

    Friends said he was so bored without a decent village boozer he took up archery.

    Pals thought his country pile in Cambridgeshire had been sold, when in fact he had taken it off the market and moved back in.

    JACKPOT!

    A lucky Brit has come forward to claim their £11million National Lottery prize NINE days after the winning numbers were revealed.

    A second lucky winner has also cashed in on theSet For Life draw from August 19, which entitles the winner to £10,000 a month for 30 years.

    Camelot is now reviewing the claims to make sure the rules have not been broken.

    The lucky winners scooped the prize after buying their ticket in a shop, with the winning numbers of 01 – 02 – 15 – 19 – 39 – 43.

    LOTTO LIES

    A man who scooped £680,000 in an Australian lottery nearly missed out on the prize after thinking the win was a hoax.

    The lucky winner, from Darwin, almost didn't collect the money after being left in total disbelief when he saw all six of his numbers on the lottery app.

    "Usually, I get an email straight after the draw that tells me how close I am to winning division one," the winner told Daily Mail Australia.

      SHEFFIELD'S LOTTO ANGEL

      Barbara Wragg enjoyed giving her lottery winnings away so much that she worried the pleasure she got from donating was "selfish".

      Along with husband Ray, former hospital worker Barbara won a whopping £7.6million in 2000. The generous couple from Sheffield went on to give away over £5.5million to friends, family, and good causes. Their beneficiaries included cancer charities and hospitals.

      But they also included smaller causes – the Wraggs paid for 250 inner-city kids to attend the pantomime for six years running.

      And they covered the travel costs of 60 veterans to attend a reunion of the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy.

      The couple always felt that their jackpot was "too much for two people", but spent the remaining cash going on 29 cruises around the world.

      When Barbara sadly passed away aged 77 in May 2018, hundreds of people were expected to attend her funeral.

      To this day, she's known as the Lotto Angel in Sheffield.

      EUROMILLIONS WINNER JANE PARK PROMISES ONLYFANS SUBSCRIBERS ‘THE BEST’ BEFORE NEW BAN ON EXPLICIT CONTENT BEGINS

      Jane Park has promised her OnlyFans subscribers a final fling this month before strict nudity rules are enforced on the site.

      The EuroMillions winner, 25, made the raunchy pledge in a last push to cash in on her £50-apop topless snaps.

      She told Instagram followers: “If you did wanna see someone’s OnlyFans, now’s the time as a lot of creators will be stopping due to their new T&Cs. Swipe up for mine, this month will be the best.”

      OnlyFans, with 130million users and a billiondollar value, will block sexually explicit material from October as they chase new investment.

      Jane, a lotto millionaire at 17, has made more than £25,000 selling pics on the site.

      THE LOTTERY WINNERS WHO WON MILLIONS BUT DECIDED TO KEEP WORKING

      Elaine Thompson scooped an eye-watering £2.7million on the lottery – but still gets up in the middle of the night to stack shelves at M&S.

      She even kept it up working 2am shifts throughout the pandemic -even though she’s asthmatic and vulnerable.

      The 65-year-old mum-of-two won big back in 1995, splashing out on racehorses and swanky holidays to Vegas to celebrate. But the grafter from Killingworth, Tyne and Wear, says she keeps working to set a good example for her kids.

      “It’s important that children see you working hard,” Elaine said last year.

      “I absolutely love my job and just because I won the lottery, this didn’t make me want to give up work. It’s all about balance.”
