National Lottery: 拢26.3m winner in New Year's Eve draw
- Published
One lucky member of the public can start 2017 in the best way possible, after scooping a 拢26,293,902 jackpot on the National Lottery on New Year's Eve.
The winning numbers, announced live on 91热爆 One, were 10, 17, 35, 41, 51 and 54. The bonus number was 25.
It is the fifth biggest Lotto jackpot in its history, but it is not yet known if an individual or syndicate has won.
The biggest individual prize - of 拢35.1m - was won in April this year by someone who remains anonymous.
All five of the biggest winners in the National Lottery's 22-year history scooped their jackpots in 2016.
That follows an overhaul of the game, which saw more numbers added and an increase in the amount to which rollovers could build over the weeks.
What are new National Lottery rules?
However, the prize money is still dwarfed by that available on the Euromillions, which has seen several British jackpot winners of more than 拢100m.
The Euromillions draw prize money comes from ticket sales in several European countries.
