A lucky winner has scooped tonight’s massive £15milion lottery jackpot.

The unknown player matched the numbers - 2, 20, 34, 40, 48. 59 and the bonus ball 6 - drawn by machine Guinevere to scoop the fortune. The winner's identity is currently unknown - and may never be known if they do not choose to go public.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Brilliant news, one lucky ticket-holder has won tonight’s incredible £15million ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot!

"What an exciting start to the month! Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.

“By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps fund projects across the nation, with over 685,000 grants – supporting projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date."

The success comes after another lucky lottery winner scooped a £3.6million jackpot playing Set For Life last month. The winning numbers for the Thursday, February 22 draw were 16, 17, 19, 23, 38 and the Life Ball 5 and transformed someone's life overnight.

Mr Carter said at the time: "Fantastic! We have another top prize winner on Set For Life – they can now celebrate winning £10k every month for 30 years.

""February has already been a lucky month for Set For Life players, after another ticket-holder scooped the same top prize in the draw on 1 February. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim this fantastic Set For Life top prize."
