National Lottery: Two winners share record £66m prize

Postby wendy » 10 Jan 2016, 09:52

A record £66m National Lottery jackpot will be shared between two ticket holders who each matched the six winning numbers, Camelot said.

The winning numbers were 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58. The bonus number was 48.

The jackpot, announced live on BBC One, comes after 14 consecutive rollovers found no winner.

TV presenter Noel Edmonds pushed the button for the lottery draw, more than two decades after presenting the first National Lottery show in November 1994.

Even though Saturday's prize total is to be shared, if each ticket is held by an individual, their £33m prize would make them the joint biggest National Lottery winners.

Last year I washed my blouse in the machine forgetting that my lottery ticket was still in there.
It came out of the pocket intact but faded.
I had won £2.60
I took it to the shop but it wouldn't scan, I sent it to the lottery with a covering letter and date and time of my entry.
They were very helpful, they sent me a check for my £2.60 after fully checking my ticket a few months later.
