One lucky Lotto player has won the £4 million jackpot in tonight's draw.
The winning numbers from Saturday's draw were 11, 17, 27, 30, 39 and 46 while the bonus number was 56.
Players have been urged to check their tickets and call in to claim the top prize, with the jackpot winner matching all six main numbers to take the £4,003,513 sum.
Wednesday's jackpot will be an estimated £2 million.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery operator Allwyn, said: 'Amazing news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight's £4 million jackpot.
'Luck is clearly in the air, as this is the second Lotto jackpot win in a week, after a single ticket-holder bagged last Saturday's (May 31) £3.9 million jackpot.'
No players matched all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.
Twelve players won £13,000 each after they managed to match four numbers.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 01, 05, 13, 17 and 39 while the Thunderball was 08.
No-one matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize, but one ticket holder matched all five regular numbers to win £5,000.
People who play the EuroMillions are looking forward to a chance to win the biggest jackpot the UK has ever seen.
Tuesday's jackpot has rolled over to a massive £208million after nobody claimed the top prize on Friday.
If a lucky single ticket holder manages to win, June 10, they will instantly become richer than megastars Dua Lipa and Adele.

Experts reveal how you could win Tuesday's £208,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video People who play the EuroMillions are looking forward to a chance to win the biggest jackpot the UK has ever seen. The jackpot has rolled over to a massive £ 208 million after nobody claimed the top prize on Friday. If a lucky single ticket holder manages to win the jackpot on Tuesday, June 10, they will instantly become richer than megastars Dua Lipa and Adele. But with such a massive prize pot on offer, it stands to reason that more people than normal could buy a ticket to try their luck. So, can anything be done to increase your chances of matching the six numbers and two lucky stars to win the jackpot? The Midlands is the luckiest region in the UK, as more than 1,000 people have become millionaires there since the National Lottery was launched in 1994. In comparison, only 195 people have ever won more than £ 1 million in Northern Ireland, with 408 people in Wales becoming millionaires in the same time frame. When it comes to EuroMillions, people from other European countries also take part in the draw, but you'll be pleased to know the UK is one of the luckiest countries. Some 46 out of 172 jackpot winners since September 2016 have been in the UK, analyst said – about 26%. But hold your horses if you're considering packing your bags and moving to the Midlands. A National Lottery spokesperson said: 'Certain areas have more National Lottery millionaires, but there are more people in London than the North East, for example, so after 30 years of millionaire-making, you'd expect it. 'Remember, only around 5% of big winners share their news, so your perception of where the winners are may be based on just the winners spraying champagne. There are big winners in every corner of the country.' Some players reckon buying a ticket in a shop rather than taking part online increases your chances, but a Lottery spokesperson has debunked this theory. They told Metro: 'It's up to you – buy your ticket in your local corner shop, or on the app, sitting in the bath, how you buy your ticket has no impact on your chances of winning. 'The key point is to have a ticket, without one your chance is zero.' The number of times a number has been drawn also doesn't play a role in boosting your chances. reckons the least drawn EuroMillions numbers are 22 and 40, and the numbers 26, 11 and 16 are the most overdue to feature in a draw soon. Similarly, some superstitious players use a fixed set of numbers every time, maybe choosing lucky numbers, memorable dates, or the birthdays of loved ones. But the National Lottery spokesperson said neither of these improves your chances, saying: 'Any set of numbers can be drawn, so sticking with one set doesn't make a statistical difference. 'However, we are all drawn to our own lucky numbers, and plenty of winners will say it is these that have helped them bank a big prize. 'Statistically, there is no reason why the same set of numbers couldn't come up in every single draw.' This did actually happen once – 4, 15, 23, 24, 35 and 42 were drawn in two consecutive rounds of the Bulgarian lottery back in 2009. Officials ruled it a coincidence. The Lottery spokesperson also ruled out always playing on a certain day and only playing when there is a lower jackpot as potential ways to boost your luck. This is because the odds of all of your numbers matching those drawn remain the same and will not change, no matter how big the jackpot, what day it is, or how many other people have bought tickets. 'The key is to have a ticket. No ticket, no chance – a ticket, whenever you buy it, means you are in with a chance of winning big,' the spokesperson said. However, when it comes to only playing when there is a lower jackpot, the spokesperson added: 'In general, fewer people tend to play when jackpots are lower, which means if you were to win the jackpot there is a slightly smaller chance that you would end up sharing it with another player who has the same set of numbers.' So overall, it seems like there isn't a tried and tested way to improve your odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot. More Trending The only way to make sure you're in with a chance at all is to buy a ticket and cross your fingers. Previous British winners include those who scooped £83,000,000 in January and the £65,000,000 jackpot in February. Other recent wins include the Easter Lotto draw, in which three people won £1million, and in April a single ticket holder claimed a £5.2million jackpot – not quite as big as the sum on offer this week, but still a life-changing amount of cash. And if you've ever wanted to know what actually happens when you win the EuroMillions lottery, Metro has the answers.
