£3.9M Lotto Jackpot Drawn Just Before Major National Lottery Outage
So, here’s what went down with the National Lottery on Saturday, August 2nd — and if you had your ticket in hand for that £3.9 million Lotto jackpot, you were probably glued to the results as they came out just after 8pm.
The winning numbers for the Lotto draw were 1, 5, 10, 30, 33, and 50 , with 56 as the bonus ball. To walk away with the full jackpot, you’d need to match all six of those main numbers. It’s a tough game, no doubt, but smaller prizes are still up for grabs for matching fewer numbers — and if you matched five plus that bonus, you’re still looking at a cool £1 million .

But that wasn’t the only chance to bag some cash. The Thunderball draw followed soon after, and those winning numbers were 3, 8, 19, 23, and 29 , with the Thunderball being 1 . If you managed to match all five of those plus the Thunderball, that would’ve landed you £500,000 . Not bad for a £1 ticket.
Now, a heads-up was issued just before the draw: the National Lottery had announced a planned 36-hour system outage starting at 11pm that same night. That means, for over a day, no tickets could be bought, no winnings checked, and no plays entered — all part of what they’re calling the biggest tech upgrade in their 31-year history. So if you tried to log in Sunday morning and found everything down, that’s why. It’s temporary, but necessary.
And for anyone following along, this was the first Lotto draw of August , and it came right after the EuroMillions failed to produce a winner for its whopping £145 million jackpot the day before. That prize has now climbed even higher to £157 million , and it’s up for grabs on Tuesday — so if you’re a fan of dreaming big, that’s your next shot.
So, whether you matched all the numbers or just a few, hopefully the night brought a little excitement. And if you missed out this time, remember — there’s always another draw just around the corner. Play responsibly, and good luck!
