The National Lottery Lotto draw took place at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2026, with players having had until 7:30 p.m. to purchase their tickets. The draw, which runs every Wednesday and Saturday, featured two rounds of six balls drawn from a pool of 59 numbers, each with its own Bonus Ball.
Tonight’s Lotto Numbers — Both Rounds
The National Lottery Lotto draw took place at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2026, with players having had until 7:30 p.m. to purchase their tickets. The draw, which runs every Wednesday and Saturday, featured two rounds of six balls drawn from a pool of 59 numbers, each with its own Bonus Ball.
Lotto Round 1 winning numbers: 2, 6, 29, 36, 55, 59. Bonus Ball: 50.
Lotto Round 2 winning numbers: 9, 22, 26, 49, 53, 56. Bonus Ball: 34.
Tonight’s jackpot, confirmed by national-lottery.com, stood at £3,492,117. Players are urged to check their tickets against both rounds carefully — the Bonus Ball comes into play for the second prize tier, where matching five numbers plus the Bonus Ball wins £1 million, regardless of which round your numbers align with.
Tonight’s Thunderball Numbers
The Thunderball draw followed at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 25. Thunderball offers players a different prize structure from the main Lotto game: match all five main numbers plus the Thunderball itself, and you win the game’s top prize of £500,000. Even matching just the Thunderball number alone wins £3.
Tonight’s Thunderball winning numbers: 15, 17, 23, 13, 21. The Thunderball: 14.
At the time of publication, the full prize breakdown — including the number of winners across each tier and the prizes per winning ticket — was not yet available, as Allwyn completes its verification process in the hours following the draw. Players should check the National Lottery’s official website at national-lottery.com or the official National Lottery app for the complete prize breakdown once published.
How to Check and Claim Your Prize
Players who purchased tickets online through the National Lottery website or app will receive automatic notifications if they have won a prize. For those who purchased paper tickets from a licensed retailer, the numbers above are the definitive confirmed results — check each round of six numbers plus the Bonus Ball carefully, and remember that a single ticket is eligible to win in either or both rounds if the numbers match.
Prizes up to and including £500 can be claimed immediately at any participating National Lottery retailer. Prizes above £500 must be claimed through the National Lottery’s official website, app, or by calling the National Lottery Helpline. Prizes above £50,000 require the winner to contact the National Lottery directly to arrange verification and payment. All Lotto prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date — meaning tonight’s prizes must be claimed by no later than January 21, 2027.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Adviser at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, traditionally urges players after each draw to take a few minutes to check their tickets and to contact the National Lottery promptly if they believe they hold a winning ticket, particularly for the upper prize tiers. His team is available to advise winners on their options and to provide access to financial and legal experts who can help major prize winners make the most of a life-changing sum.
The Recent Lotto Draw Context
Saturday’s £3.49 million jackpot follows recent draw history in which the jackpot pool has been building from its standard £2 million starting level — Wednesday, July 23 most recently produced no jackpot winner, allowing the prize to roll and grow into tonight’s draw. Should tonight’s jackpot also go unclaimed — meaning no player matched all six main numbers in either round — Wednesday’s jackpot will grow further, with Allwyn required to designate it a “Must Be Won” draw once the prize reaches a specified threshold, at which point if no one matches all six numbers, the jackpot rolls down to boost prizes in the next winning tier.
Wednesday’s next Lotto jackpot is estimated at £4.4 million, giving players another opportunity to win a life-changing sum mid-week.
EuroMillions: Tuesday’s Jackpot at £67 Million
For players also tracking EuroMillions, Tuesday’s upcoming draw carries an estimated jackpot of £67 million — a substantial accumulation that positions the next draw as one of the more attractive EuroMillions opportunities of recent weeks. EuroMillions tickets cost £2.50 and must be purchased before the 7:30 p.m. cut-off on Tuesday to be eligible for that evening’s draw.
The EuroMillions draw most recently confirmed from Friday, July 24, produced main numbers 8, 10, 30, 36, 47 with Lucky Stars 1 and 4, drawing over 470,000 UK winners across all prize tiers. The Millionaire Maker selection for that draw was TGVM82413 — players whose ticket carries this code should check their ticket immediately, as this selection creates one guaranteed UK millionaire per draw regardless of the main numbers.
The Good Causes Impact: Every Ticket Does More
The National Lottery raises approximately £30 million to £32 million every week for good causes across the United Kingdom — supporting arts, heritage, community projects, sports programmes, and charitable organisations in every part of the country. Since its launch in 1994, the National Lottery has raised more than £50 billion for good causes across arts, sport, heritage, and community programmes — meaning every ticket purchased, regardless of whether it wins a prize, contributes directly to projects that benefit communities across the UK.
Players are reminded that the minimum age to purchase National Lottery tickets is 18, and that Allwyn provides free support services for anyone who feels their lottery play may be becoming a concern — detailed at begambleaware.org.
