National Lottery winners were left in anger last night after those who matched five numbers ended up with less money than people that matched only three.
Punters with five winning numbers in Wednesday’s Lotto draw ended up with just £15. This compared to £25 for people that matched three balls, and £51 for people that matched four.
The winning numbers were 14, 21, 42, 35, 07, 41, and the bonus ball was 43.
Lotto operator Camelot said it was an “extremely rare” set of winning numbers, many of which were multiples of seven. This set of numbers is a popular choice for players and pushed up the number of winners.
Some 4,082 players matched five balls, sharing a winning pot that totalled just over £60,000. Meanwhile 7,879 people who matched four numbers shared £401,829.
There were 114,232 winners with three numbers, who had access to a pot of £2,855,800.
