It’s estimated that 105 players each won £4,595 after matching five of the six numbers.

The competition, which has a prize of £350,000, uses the same numbers as the Lotto main prize.
The winning Thunderball numbers were 10, 11, 17, 25, 36 and the Thunderball was 14.
No ticket-holders scooped the £500,000 top prize by matching five numbers.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “It’s amazing news for more than 1.8 million Lotto players who have each won £5 plus a free Lucky Dip for matching just two main numbers in tonight’s fantastically festive £15 million Lotto ‘must be won’ draw.
“On top of this, 189,522 ticket-holders each scooped £56, instead of £30, for matching just three main numbers.
“As no ticket-holder won the jackpot, the prize is shared between all the other winners.”
