Sue Davies, 64, celebrated the end of five months of shielding during the pandemic by winning £500,000, while Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300,000 while intending to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard.
The biggest jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66 million in January of the previous year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders. In 1996, Karl managed to bag £11 million at the young age of 23. The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14 million, but as the saying goes, “you’ve got to be in it to win it.” Sandra Devine and her husband Mike won by chance, proving that luck can strike when you least expect it. Tonight’s jackpot could see a lucky winner handing in their notice, jetting off to paradise, or driving a luxury car off the dealer’s lot. Players are encouraged to check their tickets against the numbers drawn to see if they are the fortunate winner of the £5.2 million jackpot. Good luck to all participants in tonight’s National Lottery draw.
