National Lottery warns all players MUST take action by 7pm TONIGHT for a ‘chance to join millionaire club’ this weekend
EXCITEMENT is reaching fever pitch as National Lottery enthusiasts gear up for tommorows’ draw on Saturday, June 15.
Players must take action tonight for a chance to win tommorows’ staggering £11.4 million jackpot claimed by a lucky ticket holder, marking the third millionaire minted in just a month.
Allwyn, the lottery’s operator, confirmed the windfall following the must-be-won draw on June 8.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said he’s “thrilled that this incredible Lotto jackpot prize has been claimed.
“This ticket-holder kept us guessing for a few days before stepping forward, but now with £11.4 million in their bank account, the sky‘s the limit”.
Tickets can be purchased online every day from 6am to 11pm, with a cutoff time of 7.30pm on draw days.
Already this month, three Lotto players have joined the millionaires club, sparking hopes for yet another life-changing moment with an estimated £3.9 million jackpot on the horizon for Saturday’s draw, June 15.
Carter added, “We’re poised to support our latest jackpot winner through this life-changing journey.
“With another £3.9 million up for grabs, we may soon welcome another Lotto millionaire into the club.”
Elsewhere, a mum was shocked to scoop thousands in a draw after only entering because her daughter had won £26,000.
Meanwhile, another lotto winner has revealed how he believed he’d won just £7.20 after matching two numbers – before finding a hidden code that would change his life.
Remember to gamble responsibly
Here are our tips to help you gamble responsibly:
Monitor your gaming: You can watch your gaming history by clicking “My Account” and then “History”. This space can help you to keep track of your gambling as you can see your game’s history. This feature allows you to pick a timeframe and all of your stakes within that period will be shown. Similarly, you can monitor your bingo habits under the “My Bingo History” subtab. You can also check your deposit and withdrawal history.
Safer Gambling: The Safer Gambling tab on Sun Bingo includes the subtabs: Smart Tips, Play Responsibly and Set Limits. The smart tips page has lots of tips and guidance about how to smartly and safely gamble on our site. We have money tips, time tips, things to know (including why we verify funds sources) and handy tools (such as how to limit gambling ads on your social media).
The Play Responsibly page is full of helpful information about how you can stay safe while playing with Sun Bingo. This includes tips for safer, smarter gaming and links to external sites offering specialist support. If you are concerned about your gaming habits, there is a link to a test provided by GamCare that’s quick, easy, free and anonymous.
The Set Limits page allows players to take proactive steps to monitor and control their time and money when playing with Sun Bingo.
Deposit limits: Some players like to set deposit limits. You can set daily, weekly or monthly limits.
Reality Check: The “Reality Check” feature is designed to remind you of the time that you have spent logging into your account.
You can set reminders for every 10, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
Timeout: If you want to pause your online gaming completely, you might like to start by trying the “Timeout” feature, which allows you to take a break from your account at any time. You can set the time-out period from 24 hours to six weeks. Your account will automatically reactivate after the timeout has ended. However, you should be aware that there is no option to reopen the account before the set period has expired
Account self-exclusion: Similar to the timeout option, self-exclude allows you to deactivate your account for between six and 60 months. Please be aware that if you select this option, the account cannot be reopened until the set period has expired.
A responsible gambler is someone who:
- Establishes time and monetary limits before playing
- Only gambles with money they can afford to lose
- Never chases their losses
- Doesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry or depressed
