The National Lottery confirmed there were no winners of Wednesday's big £9 million Lotto draw.
There was however better luck on the Thunderball, where one as-yet unnamed player scooped a guaranteed top prize of £500,000 after matching all main numbers and the bonus number.
Saturday's Lotto draw will have a 'must be won' £15 million jackpot. To play the game, you simply select six numbers from one to 59, or choose a lucky dip. Tickets cost £2.00, and can be bought in any licensed retailer or online until 7.30pm on draw day.
