Lotto Results: Big Jackpot Rolls Over After Saturday’s Draw
The Lotto winning numbers for Saturday, May 10, 2025, sent a wave of excitement—and maybe a little frustration—across the UK. The tantalizing jackpot stood at £7,285,879, but not a single player matched all six main numbers to grab the top prize. The winning numbers: 13, 14, 15, 27, 33, and 36, with a Bonus Ball of 18. The lottery team ran the draw using Ball Set 6 and the trusty Lancelot machine, adding another chapter to Lotto’s unpredictable streak.
Lack of a jackpot winner may sting, but there was still reason for celebration. One lucky ticket-holder came painfully close and landed a life-changing £1 million by matching five numbers plus the Bonus Ball. For 70 others, matching five numbers came with a sweet £1,750 each. Across the whole draw, 1,278,743 tickets—yes, more than a million—ended up with something to show for the night’s gamble. The total pot paid out £5,612,420 across all winner tiers, turning Saturday into a memorable one for plenty of hopefuls.
Thunderball and Claim Deadlines: What Players Need to Know
The action didn’t end there. The Thunderball draw also took place on May 10, lighting up the night for even more lottery players. While the exact Thunderball numbers were not made public right away, it’s never just about the main Lotto prize; the secondary draws keep players glued to their screens, hoping for a win. Thunderball keeps its own loyal following, drawn to the game by better odds for smaller—but still meaningful—payouts.
Here’s something every ticket-holder should mark on their calendar: winners have until November 6, 2025, to stake their claim for the May 10 draw. Whether it’s a few quid or a windfall that could clear your mortgage, waiting too long means kissing that prize goodbye. The strict cutoff helps keep the process transparent, so the unclaimed money can eventually go back to good causes via the National Lottery’s charity funding.
Lotto isn’t just a number’s game; it’s a Saturday night ritual in the UK. Whether players are buying tickets on a whim or sticking to carefully-chosen ‘lucky’ numbers drawn from personal milestones, every draw brings the dream alive again. With the latest jackpot rolling over, next week’s draw is set to build even more anticipation, with players sharpened by the near-misses and fresh batch of winners.
