Lotto results Saturday prize breakdown: Camelot announces £20million jackpot has been won
One person is currently clutching the winning ticket for the £20million Lotto jackpot but has not yet claimed their prize.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, the National Lottery senior winners’ adviser, has urged ‘Must Be Won’ jackpot game players to check their tickets for the winning six numbers.
The winning numbers are 14, 15, 31, 41, 44, 45 and the bonus number was 20.

The Lotto jackpot on Wednesday will be around £2million. No one matched five numbers and the bonus ball to win £1million while 95 players won £1,750 each for getting five of the six number
When it came to Saturday’s Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw, no players matched all five numbers to win £350,000.
The news comes after Robert Cameron, from Glasgow, matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw last Saturday with a lucky dip ticket he had initially forgotten to buy.
A Glasgow father-of-five is £1 million richer, it was announced on Friday, after he followed his late mother’s advice and snapped up two lottery tickets
Mr Cameron initially forgot to buy his tickets, and had it not been for a call from his youngest son asking if he would go and pick him up, he might not have won at all.
‘I decided seeing as I was heading back out again anyway, I may as well nip into Asda and get the lucky dips. And I’m so glad I did,’ the father-of-five said.
The 53-year-old bought a ticket for the lottery for the first time about a year on Friday July 29 with the change he happened to have in his pocket when he passed the counter at his local Asda in Maryhill.
He added: ‘I just went about my usual routine – fed the fish, got a cup of tea – and then thought I better check those tickets.’
When he checked the result the next day, he had a ‘chuckle’ to himself when he realised he had won just £3.70 – and thought that would be all he would ever win.
‘My mum always used to say, ‘a win leads to a win’,’ he said. ‘She always told us if you win something, take it and put it into something else. So I decided I’d follow her advice and use my winnings to buy two lucky dips for that night’s Lotto draw.’
