Wednesday’s estimated jackpot will be £2 million.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “Amazing news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s £7.3m Lotto jackpot.

“This exciting news comes after a very lucky November for Lotto players, with three jackpot winners across the month.

“Let’s see if December turns out to be even luckier.”

No players matched all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.

However, 10 ticket holders won £13,000 each after they managed to match four numbers.

The winning Thunderball numbers were 05, 08, 13, 25 and 29 while the Thunderball was 12.

No-one matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize but 17 players matched all five regular numbers to take home £5,000.
