A player has scooped Saturday’s £7.5 million top lottery prize.
It means that Wednesday’s lottery jackpot will be an estimated £2 million.
Saturday’s top prize ticket-holder matched all six main numbers to win £7,530,298 and one player matched five numbers and the bonus ball to collect £1 million.
Andy Carter, the senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “Wow, wonderful news for Lotto players as one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s £7.5million Lotto jackpot.
“This is the first jackpot win of the month and follows on from a millionaire-making March which saw 15 ticket-holders become millionaires or multi-millionaires on Lotto.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.”
The winning Lotto numbers were: 10, 12, 14, 17, 20, 29 and the bonus number was 33.

There were 262 players who each won £1,750 after matching five of the six numbers.
