£10.6 Million Lotto Jackpot Swells on Quadruple Rollover Draw – Oct 4, 2025
When Lotto Draw 3108United Kingdom rolled over for the fourth night in a row, the jackpot swelled to a staggering £10,633,323. The winning combination – 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 with bonus ball 42 – was announced live at roughly 8:00 PM BST, sending a fresh wave of ticket‑buyers scrambling to check their slips.
How the draw works
The draw is run on The National Lottery, which, since Allwyn Entertainment Limited took over the franchise in February 2024, has kept the mechanics largely unchanged. Six balls are drawn from Lotto Machine 2 using Ball Set 1, under the watchful eye of an independent adjudicator – a legal requirement set out in the National Lottery’s Rules and Procedures. Once the final ball drops, the numbers are displayed on the live broadcast and instantly posted to the official website and app.
The £10.6 million jackpot and its roots
Why did the prize jump to over ten million pounds? A "quadruple rollover" means no one matched all six main numbers in the three preceding draws – October 1, September 27 and September 24 – so the prize pool rolled forward each time. Each draw contributes roughly £1.9 million in jackpot funding, plus a small percentage from ticket sales.
Since the National Lottery was founded by the National Lottery etc. Act 1993, 25 % of all ticket revenue is earmarked for "Good Causes" ranging from health and education to environmental projects across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This particular draw was part of the "Summer of Sport 2025" marketing campaign, spotlighting a Good Cause story about the Red Roses women's sport initiative. While the exact funding figure wasn’t disclosed, the narrative linked the massive jackpot to increased support for women’s rugby and football programmes.
Allwyn’s responsible‑gaming push
Allwyn Entertainment Limited, the franchise holder, used the draw’s high‑profile platform to remind players that gambling should be fun, not a financial crutch. On‑screen the announcer chanted, "It could be you," before flashing a link to the HealthyPlay‑Toolkit (bit.ly/HealthyPlay‑Toolkit). The toolkit offers self‑exclusion options, spending limits and time‑out reminders. In a short statement, Allwyn said, "National Lottery games should always be played in a way that’s right for you." The company also highlighted that players aged 18 or older must be physically located within the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man to purchase tickets – a rule enforced through the National Lottery’s online verification system.
Regulation and oversight
The draw’s integrity is overseen by the Gambling Commission, headquartered in Birmingham. The Commission conducts random audits of the machines, monitors the adjudicator’s reports and ensures that prize‑pay‑out procedures – such as the 180‑day claim window – are followed. Winners of the £10.6 million jackpot have until March 2, 2026, to claim, after which the prize lapses to the Good Causes fund.
What’s next for players?
The next Lotto draw is slated for Wednesday, October 8, 2025, with ticket sales closing at 7:30 PM BST on the day of the draw. The jackpot will start again at the base level of around £2 million, unless the roll‑over continues. For those who missed the £10.6 million bonanza, the National Lottery app still lets you scan tickets, view past results and set personal limits via the HealthyPlay‑Toolkit.

Key takeaways for the casual player
Even if you’re not a regular lottery fan, the draw illustrates how a single night can generate enough buzz to push a £10 million prize into the headlines.
