It’s the weekend again, and what better way to top it all off than by winning the lottery. Tomorrow morning, someone could wake up a multi-millionaire with a \u00a33.9M jackpot up for grabs in tonight’s National Lottery Lotto draw.<\/p>\n

The winning Lotto numbers will be revealed at 8pm, with the Thunderball draw following shortly after, offering a top prize of \u00a3500,000. We’ll have all the results as they come in below.<\/p>\n

Since its first draw on November 19, 1994, the UK National Lottery has distributed funds far beyond its winners. Around half of all ticket sales go towards prizes, while 28% supports good causes. The remainder is split between government duty (12%), retailers (5%), and the operator (5%).<\/p>\n

Over the years, the lottery has created some eye-watering wins. The biggest ever Lotto prize came in April 2016, when a single anonymous ticket-holder scooped \u00a335 million. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Winnings have also happened a lot closer to home, as just last month – retired Port Talbot Tata Steel workers won a lifechanging \u00a31m. The syndicate played EuroMillions using the National Lottery app for the draw on Friday, February 27 and won after matching the millionaire maker code.<\/p>\n
