Three new millionaires were made during an £11.8 million “must be won” National Lottery jackpot.
However, no single ticket managed to successfully match all of the Lotto numbers. Three players each guessed five correct numbers as well as the bonus ball.
They each will walk away with £1,042,922. Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot will now stand at £2 million.
The winning Lotto numbers were 07, 14, 20, 29, 38 and 49 – and the bonus number was 42. Set of balls 10 and draw machine Lancelot were used.
No players matched all five numbers to win the Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the main draw, but 14 tickets matched four numbers to claim £13,000 each.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 18, 20, 24, 26 and 33 – and the Thunderball was 14.
No-one scooped the £500,000 top prize, but two players won £5,000 each for matching five numbers.

Sky News is a British 24-hour information television channel, the first in Europe of its kind, launched on February 5, 1989 by the British Sky Broadcasting Company.

The Princess Alexandra in Park Road, Crouch End, reportedly closed its doors this year due to the former owners being “fed up working 80 hours a week for not much money”, the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) said.
Stonegate said that the 120-year-old watering hole has the potential to build a great reputation for quality drinks.
It is estimated that the forecast turnover per year would be £645,647 and the guide rent is £1,000 per week.

In March 2023, Rhyl in North Wales was named the country’s worst seaside town despite drawing flocks of tourists every year. Now, the town has been branded a “dump” as visitors complain about the area being “shoddy” and “rundown”.
Many of the town’s amenities have shut down as holidays abroad have become cheaper, meaning Rhyl’s appeal has weakened. The once-popular Pavilion theatre, its old pier and its beach funfair have all closed in recent times.
Like many coastal towns that used to go-to holiday destinations, it’s become bleak and uninspiring for those visiting.
Recent visitors have branded the place as a “dump”, claiming that it failed to live up to the limited hype it had left. One Tripadvisor user wrote of the place: “Got moved here in June and what a big mistakes it was. Rhyl is such a dump it’s depressing.
Would not advise visiting at all.”
Another said: “Never been in such a shoddy run down place, even worse than Holyhead. Went on a lovely sunny day, when wet in mid winter it must be even more miserable. Couldn’t even get a decent meal and ended up in McDonald’s! Don’t waste your time going”.
A third attacked the town, saying: “The town itself is a shadow of its former life and it’s heartbreaking to see it on its knees. This town like many others were hit hard before Covid and after they are really up against it.”
Last year, Rhyl was awarded the unfortunate title of ‘UK’s worst seaside town’.
However, not everyone is so negative about Rhyl as YouTube sensation Walk With Me Tim once visited the town and shared a video of his experience. The video, released in summer 2022, has been viewed nearly 350,000 times and his review of the place was far less brutal.
He said that its beach was “beautiful” and “absolutely massive” and that it took an age to reach the water’s edge. Looking out from the harbour as the sun shone, Tim told his viewers that the view was “absolutely amazing”.
Despite its negative reviews, WalesOnline reports that over the last few years, the town has worked hard to get rid of the negativity. News plans mean nearly £25m is being spent on the town centre to help improve it, as part of the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns initiative.
More than £65million in investment has also been attracted for projects like the SC2 Waterpark, Pont y Ddraig bridge and harbour improvements. The Pavilion Theatre has been renovated and the 1891 Restaurant has been opened. Rhyl also now has a Premier Inn and Travelodge.
Wales Online also spoke to Rhyl residents who were far more positive about the town.
One said: “In Rhyl you have some really decent, down to earth people with no airs and graces. I have the best neighbours. There are plenty of working people in Rhyl. Unfortunately some extremely bad decisions by DCC are leaving a town centre empty. They seem to think only of tourism and not about the locals.”
After seeing the rankings, Jess Hymus-Gant wrote: “What a shame. I’ve lived in Austria, Germany, Spain, México and I have chosen to settle in Rhyl and raise my family here. Yes it has its problems but believe me, so does everywhere else. In Rhyl you have some really decent, down to earth people with no airs and graces. I have the best neighbours. There are plenty of working people in Rhyl. Unfortunately some extremely bad decisions by DCC are leaving a town centre empty. They seem to think only of tourism and not about the locals.”

Brentford star Ivan Toney scored on his return to the Premier League after serving an eight-month ban for breaking FA betting rules.
The striker, 27, took just 19 minutes to find the net with a low free-kick past Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner.
He held up a Brentford shirt printed with the words “For you Uncle Brian” after celebrating with teammates and Brentford staff on the touchline.
The goal cancelled out Forest midfielder Danilo’s third-minute volley, with Brentford eventually winning 3-2 after second-half goals from Ben Mee and Neal Maupay.
It came 260 days after Toney’s last Premier League appearance, against Liverpool in May last year.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney scores on his return to Premier League football
Toney was handed an eight-month ban and fined £50,000 after admitting 232 breaches of FA betting rules between February 2017 and January 2021.
He had been allowed to train with team-mates since September, and earlier this month scored a hat-trick while playing for Brentford’s B team against Southampton under-23s,
Initially, Toney was charged with 262 breaches of FA rule E8, but the FA subsequently withdrew 30 of these breaches.

Rule E8 of the FA states that a participant “shall not bet, either directly or indirectly, or instruct, permit, cause or enable any person to bet on” matches they are involved in or have influence on.
Players, managers, coaches, club staff, directors and licensed agents involved in football globally are banned from betting within the Premier League, EFL, National League, Women’s Super League, Women’s Championship and the Northern, Southern and Isthmian leagues.
The ban also includes betting on any other football-related matter such as the transfer of players, managerial appointments or team selection.
