Two ticket-holders have won £1.9 million each in the latest Lotto draw but have yet to claim their prizes.

The winning numbers on Saturday’s (1 March) draw were 06, 11, 14, 19, 41, 43, and the bonus number was 53.

The two winners matched the six main numbers.

The National Lottery is now hunting for the winners to unite them with their combined £3.8m jackpot prize.

Both remaining Lotto jackpot ticketholders bought their winning tickets online. The company urged the pair to check their emails and log into their National Lottery accounts and then call its helpline.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “What a way to start the month of March and welcome spring in for two very lucky ticketholders.

“The two would-be millionaires are urged to check their online National Lottery account – they have the opportunity to have that incredible moment of realisation that they have just become millionaires!

“These wins from the first Lotto draw in March follow on from a fabulous February of millionaire-making on Lotto. In total, 13 ticket-holders became Lotto millionaires, including one very lucky winner who scooped the £7.4m jackpot in the draw on 15 February and three ticket-holders who shared the £5.3m Lotto jackpot on 26 February to each take home £1.7m.”

Once the pair call Allwyn and claim their prizes, they can then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

They now have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.

The set of balls number four and the draw machine Guinevere were used on Saturday.

No one claimed the top prize for the Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw.

The winning Thunderball numbers were 02, 03, 17, 21, 28, and the Thunderball number was 01.

No one won the £500,000 top prize by matching five numbers plus the Thunderball.
