Someone in the UK is waking up today with an entirely different life. A single player matched all six main numbers in Saturday’s draw to win the £3.9 million jackpot. This life-changing £3,943,065 win drops right on the heels of a massive forfeiture. Just 48 hours earlier on Thursday, a historic £10.6 million Lotto jackpot ticket bought in Bexley permanently expired. That uncollected money went straight to National Lottery Good Causes after the 180-day claim window slammed shut. The operator Allwyn issued a stark warning about how unusual a loss of that size is. Check your tickets immediately.
The winning main numbers for the April 4 draw are 15, 16, 23, 32, 42, and 46, with the bonus ball 52. Grab your phone or that paper slip and double-check those digits. We see massive wins completely forgotten in pockets and on kitchen counters all the time. One extremely lucky secondary winner also grabbed £1 million by matching five main numbers plus the bonus ball, according to a detailed report published this weekend. Another 67 players won £1,750 each by catching five numbers.
The Thunderball draw also ran on Saturday night. Those winning numbers are 6, 13, 17, 19, and 38, with the Thunderball being 1. That top prize offers £500,000. It is so easy to let lottery slips pile up while managing a busy lifestyle, but Thursday’s £10.6 million disaster proves why you cannot ignore them. The newest £3.9 million jackpot winner has not stepped forward yet to arrange payment. Empty your wallet. Check your coat pockets. You might be holding the winning slip right now.
