There were no jackpot winners on tonight's £5.4million Lotto draw - meaning there's a bigger £7.5million prize up for grabs on Saturday.

The Lotto draw takes place every Wednesday and Saturday. You'll need to match six numbers to take home to the big prize, while five numbers plus the bonus ball will land you a cool £1million. Tickets cost just £2, and are on sale until 7.30pm on draw days.

This evening's Thunderball draw also had no jackpot winners. The National Lottery - which has been making millionaires and supporting good causes since 1994 - recently changed hands from previous operator Camelot to begin a new contract with Allwyn, a Czech lottery firm.
