The National Lottery has released the winning numbers for the Lotto and Thunderball draws held on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Players across the UK tuned in as a £2.8 million Lotto jackpot and a £500,000 Thunderball top prize were up for grabs.
The updated Lotto format features a two-round structure for Wednesday and Saturday draws. This format offers participants two opportunities to secure a prize using a single line of numbers. Matching all six numbers in either round qualifies players for a share of the headline jackpot.

How the Two-Round Lotto Format Works
Introduced earlier this year, the revamped Lotto structure is designed to generate more winners and increase the number of millionaires created annually. Every line purchased is entered into two separate rounds of play. This gives ticket-holders two chances to win a cash prize during Wednesday and Saturday draws.
Officials remind players that while the odds of winning improve, shared jackpots depend on total ticket sales and matching entries across both rounds. Participants should check their physical tickets or digital accounts via the official National Lottery app to verify if they have won a prize from the October 7 draw.
