The UK’s original lottery game launched nearly 30 years ago
Saturday is here and that means it’s the second chance of the week to win big with the National Lottery. One lucky winner could get their hands on a staggering £3.9 million in tonight’s Lotto draw.
There’s also £500,000 to be won in the Thunderball draw, taking place at 8.15pm, meaning you have plenty of chances to be a winner. Either win would grant a life-changing sum of cash, and having that much money land in your bank account is almost unimaginable.
You might already be dreaming about quitting you might quit your job, travelling the world or donating to deserving causes.
There are multiple chances to win the Lotto as draws take place every Saturday and Wednesday.
To play the game, choose six numbers from one to 59 or choose a lucky dip.
The UK’s original lottery game launched nearly 30 years ago and offers regular starting jackpots of at least £2 million.

It costs £2 per play.
