Winning National Lottery results with Thunderball on Wednesday ...

A Christmas Day lottery win would be the perfect gift

What better day to be in with the chance of winning the lottery than Christmas Day. This year, the big day has landed on the same day the National Lottery draw will take place and an impressive jackpot of £15 million is up for grabs.

Imagine how lifechanging that sort of money could be, you could pay of debts, go on your dream holiday, treat loved ones and not have to worry about financial pressures for you or the family.

Alongside the huge Lotto jackpot up for the taking this evening, players will have a chance to scoop the £500K jackpot available on the Thunderball Draw. This is the first chance this week to win the Lotto as draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday.

To play the game, you choose six numbers from one to 59 or choose a lucky dip. It costs £2 per play. As well as being in with a chance of winning serious cash, playing the Lotto also helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes.

When the winning numbers for both draws have been announced we will update this article.
