Lotto results tonight: Winning lottery numbers as players hope to take home £2million jackpot

If you're looking up the lottery results, you'll be hoping that just like millions of others, your chosen numbers will be the ones to appear on screen.

People hoping to take home tonight's eye-watering jackpot of £2,000,000 have until 7:30pm tonight (March 16) to purchase their tickets before the entry closes.

Each Lotto ticket costs just £2 and all you need to do is pick six numbers between one and 59.

In order to win a prize, you must match at least two main numbers.

The Thunderball of £500,000 will also be revealed tonight and for this, players must instead pick five numbers between one and 39 as well as a Thunderball from one to 14.

A Lucky Dip option is also available for players to choose randomly selected numbers.

Results are usually released after 8pm with the Thunderball being drawn shortly after at around 8:15pm.

News broke today that tickets could become slashed to just £1 amid a new takeover after the company that runs the National Lottery, Camelot, are set to lose their licence - the first time since its launch in 1994.
