Nine share £30.5m lottery prize
A National Lottery double rollover jackpot of £30.5m is to be shared between nine ticket holders after a record-breaking midweek draw. The ticket-holders will each receive £3,394, 909, lottery operator Camelot said. The winning numbers were 19, 14, 27, 17, 03, 10 and the bonus 49. The double rollover - the first for more than two years - was up for grabs after no-one won the top prize in Saturday's draw for a second successive time. 40,000 sales per minute Twenty-nine winners matched five balls plus the bonus to win £76,825, 2,039 had five numbers for £682, while 95,248 ticket holders matched four balls to win £32 and 1,492,152 won the £10 prize for three numbers. Ticket sales for the draw were £64,102,613 - easily beating the previous £41.65m sales record for a Wednesday draw. And sales worth £42.8m were made between 0600 GMT and 1930 GMT on Wednesday. At 1850 GMT, 40 minutes before the terminals closed, 40,000 transactions a minute were taking place. A Camelot spokeswoman said £17.9m had been generated for good causes. |
