Lotto results: Saturday's winning National Lottery numbers for huge £11.8million jackpot

The draw is in for this Saturday's life-changing £11.8million ‘must be won’ Lotto jackpot.

Tonight’s Lotto winning numbers are: 8, 24, 36, 39, 46, and 56 and the bonus ball is 48.

Tonight’s Thunderball winning are: 4, 12, 15, 19 and 34 and the Thunderball is 13.

After no one won claimed the prize on Wednesday night, it was rolled-over to tonight’s ‘must be won’ jackpot which means if the almost £12million prize isn’t won by one person, it will be split amongst the runner ups.

Camelot's Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said: "It promises to be an amazing Lotto draw on Saturday with a whopping £11.8m 'must be won' jackpot up for grabs.

"In a 'must be won' draw, if the jackpot isn't won, the prize amount is shared out amongst the other prize tiers, meaning lots of players could win lots more."

Most newsagents and supermarkets across the UK sell tickets from 8am to 11pm all year round.

But on draw day tickets can only be purchased up to an hour before.

Each ticket costs £2. The draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday evening from around 7.45pm.

To be in with a chance of winning, you simply pick five numbers between one and 50 - plus an additional two Lucky Star numbers from 1-12.

As well as changing the lives of the prize winners, the National Lottery funds projects all over the UK.

Since 2004, the Big Lottery Fund has distributed £9.4billion raised by the National Lottery to 130,000 "good causes" across the UK.

This charitable funding is raised directly from a slice of weekly ticket sales.

Lucky Dip tickets are a great option for people who find the pressure of choosing the winning numbers too much.

The Thunderball draws are held every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Winners can scoop up to £500,000 from a £1 ticket.
