Both massive £12.7Million Lotto prizes now paid out
Two lucky players, who each won a life-changing £12,759,916 in the Lotto draw on Wednesday 24th May 2017, have now been paid out their amazing prizes. The £25.4Million Lotto jackpot had to be won and when no players matched all six numbers these two very lucky ticket-holders shared the entire jackpot by matching just five main numbers and the bonus ball.
Both ticket-holders have opted to remain anonymous. Therefore no further details will be released about either ticket-holder’s win.
