One lucky Brit may be holding the winning Lotto numbers today worth a whopping £6.8million. To enter tonight's draw, National Lottery players need to choose six numbers - ranging between one to 59 - or pick a lucky dip and let Lady Luck choose for them.

Each line costs £2 to play and, since June, numbers are entered into one draw played over two rounds, giving players more chances to win. Tonight also sees the Thunderball draw at 8.15pm, with its fixed £500,000 jackpot.
