There is a £158m jackpot available as well as 100 millionaires in the European Millionaire Maker and £500,000 in Thunderball

National Lottery players raise more than £30m every week and fund over 700,000 projects across the UK—but when it comes to funding the arts, some say the scheme is in need of an overhaul

The UK National Lottery was first drawn on November 19, 1994. Half of all money spent by players goes to the prize fund with 28% to good causes, 12% to the Government as duty, 5% to retailers, and 5% which has operated the lottery throughout its history.

As well as the £5.3m jackpot, there's also a chance to scoop £500k in the Thunderball draw, which takes place tonight, November 20, at 8.15pm. This is the first chance this week to win the Lotto as draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday.

A superb double rollover National Lottery Lotto jackpot of £5.3m is there for the taking tonight (Wednesday, November 20). That's more than enough money to give any lucky winner a warm and fuzzy feeling inside despite the falling temperatures outside.
