The lotto prize on Wednesday was more than £12 million.

The winning numbers drawn by the machine named Merlin were 25, 28, 37, 38, 42, 50, and a bonus number, 6. Two lucky ticket holders each won £1 million by matching five numbers and the bonus number. More than 103,000 Lotto players doubled their prize money from £30 to £60 by matching either three or six numbers.

Andy Carter, a senior adviser for winners at The National Lottery, mentioned that Wednesday's draw is set to be thrilling for players. Unfortunately, none of the Lotto HotPicks players managed to win the £350,000 prize by matching all five numbers, but four ticket holders did win £13,000 by matching four out of five numbers in that draw. Once again, no one claimed the top prize of £500,000 in Thunderball, but three winners secured £5,000 each by matching five numbers.
