The UK National Lottery has released the winning numbers for the estimated £9.5 million "must-be-won" Lotto rollover jackpot and the £500,000 Thunderball draw held on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
According to reports from independent. co.
uk and gloucestershirelive. co.
uk, the first round Lotto numbers are 22, 34, 41, 43, 54, and 56, with bonus ball 24.
The second round numbers are 12, 18, 40, 43, 44, and 45, with bonus ball 29.
The Thunderball draw winning numbers are 16, 22, 30, 31, and 35, with the Thunderball itself being 12.
This Saturday draw followed a midweek rollover on June 24, where no ticket matched all six main numbers.
However, four players each won £1 million by matching five numbers and the bonus ball.
New Multi-Round Format
The National Lottery explained the newly launched multi-round format via statements cited by gloucestershirelive. co.
uk. "New Lotto is here and it's twice as exciting.
Each Wednesday and Saturday Lotto draw will feature two rounds," the National Lottery stated.
The change aims to increase the frequency of major winners, though top prizes are split if matching tickets occur across both rounds.
"That means two chances of winning a prize with every line of numbers you play, for the same price.
And best of all, more than double the number of millionaires are expected to be made," the National Lottery added.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at lottery operator Allwyn, commented on the success of the format changes.
"It’s another fantastic night for Lotto players with our brand-new format, as four more Lotto millionaires are made.
These latest winners bring the total number of Lotto millionaires created in 2026 so far to an amazing 72," Carter said.
Carter also highlighted the broader social impact of ticket sales, which generate funding for public community initiatives across the UK.
"New Lotto now gives players two chances to win on every £2 line, with two separate rounds in each draw," he noted.
According to data published by sundayguardianlive. com and walesonline.
co.
uk, approximately 50 percent of ticket sales finance prizes, while 28 percent goes to good causes, 12 percent to government duty, 5 percent to retailers, and 5 percent to the operator.
"Playing any National Lottery game is about so much more than the chance to win – it’s also about helping to change lives.
Every week, players raise around £33 million for projects making a real difference to communities across the UK," Carter stated.
The next National Lottery event will be the Set for Life draw scheduled for Monday.
