Whether the public ever learns who scooped the jackpot is entirely up to the winner.
No details regarding the ticket-holder’s identity, whether they played alone or as part of a group, or the specific point of purchase will be disclosed unless the claimant opts to share their story publicly.
So far in 2026, Lotto has minted 148 millionaires.
In the past week alone, seven new millionaires were created, one for each day, among them a fortunate player who took home a £4.8million jackpot in the Wednesday October 21 draw.
