Two lucky individuals won the incredible Lotto jackpot last weekend, each claiming a share of the £3.8 million prize. One winner has already come forward to claim their £1.9 million share, but the National Lottery is still searching for the second winner.
The winning numbers for the March 1st Lotto draw were 06, 11, 14, 19, 41, 43, and the bonus number was 53. Both winning tickets were purchased online, prompting the National Lottery to urge players who bought tickets online for that draw to check their emails and accounts.
Andy Carter, an advisor for the National Lottery, expressed delight that one winner has claimed their prize and encouraged the other winner to come forward. He emphasized that both winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
In addition to the Lotto jackpot winners, several other players experienced significant wins in recent weeks. Last month, 13 ticket-holders became Lotto millionaires, with one claiming a £7.4 million jackpot on February 15th. Three ticket-holders also shared the £5.3 million Lotto jackpot on February 26th, receiving £1.7 million each.
Once the second Lotto jackpot winner comes forward, they will have the option to remain anonymous or share their news publicly. The National Lottery encourages all players to check their tickets carefully and contact them if they believe they have a winning ticket.

Wonderful news! Especially knowing winners can choose to remain anonymous and protect their privacy.

The odds of winning are so ridiculously slim—I don't know why people even try.

So we celebrate random luck instead of real accomplishments? Ridiculous.

Would be nicer to hear about real news, not lucky people getting rich overnight.

Great story! It’s exciting to see ordinary people getting such amazing opportunities.

Easy to show off winners, while ignoring the thousands who throw money away weekly.
