One lucky jackpot winner has scooped the top prize of £9.2 million - but a series of smaller prizes have been awarded to other players tonight.

11 people won £6,500 each after matching 4 of 4 numbers in the Lotto HotPicks, which has the same winning numbers as the Lotto draw.

20 people won £250 each after matching all four main Thunderball numbers and one Thunderball.

A lucky jackpot winner has scooped tonight's top prize of £9.2 million!

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “What a night for Lotto players. One lucky ticket holder has won a life-changing £9.2M 'Must Be Won' jackpot in Round 2 of tonight's draw.

"This is exactly what the new Lotto is designed to do. It gives players more chances to win and creates more big, unforgettable moments like this.

"This win takes the total number of Lotto millionaires created this year to an incredible 73, so if you played, it is time to check your ticket. And beyond the wins, every ticket helps raise around £33 million a week for projects that make a real difference in communities across the UK.”

Tonight's winning Thunderball numbers have been revealed.

They are 16, 22, 30, 31, 35 and the Thunderball is 12.

The Thunderball draw will be announced in less than ten minutes.

The deadline to buy tickets for tonight's Lotto and Thunderball draws has now passed.

The Lotto draw will begin at 8pm, followed by the Thunderball at 8:15pm.

We asked Mirror readers if they would tell their huge news to the world if their numbers came up.

It's fair to say not too many of you are keen! Over three quarters - 76 per cent - responded 'no way' on our poll. In fact, just 4 per cent picked 'absolutely... I'm rich!'.

Around 20 per cent said they would only tell close friends and family members if the won big, and who could blame them.

Either way, it's not a bad problem to have!

An estimated jackpot of £9.2 million is up for grabs in tonight's Lotto draw.

The Thunderball draw has a top prize of £500,000.

Other smaller prizes, ranging from £3 to £5,000, are also on offer.

The odds of winning the Thunderball top prize are about one in 8,060,598.

Other smaller prizes, ranging from £3 to £5,000, are also up for grabs. Players have a one in 13 chance of winning any prize in each Thunderball draw.
