A LUCKY Brit has won last night’s £3.8million Lotto jackpot in the second win this week.
Another five players have won £1million each for matching five of the six numbers plus the bonus ball.

National Lottery players were urged to check their tickets to see if they have won the unclaimed prizes.
The winning numbers were 05, 16, 24, 34, 44 and 57. The bonus number was 20.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, hailed the multimillion-pound jackpot win as “amazing news”.
It comes after a player won £8.5million in Wednesday’s draw. Another player claimed an £8.6million win earlier this month.
This Wednesday’s jackpot is set to be £2million.
Seventy ticket-holders bagged £1,750 for matching five of the six main numbers without the bonus ball last night.
Six players won £13,000 each for matching four of the five winning Lotto HotPicks numbers, which are the same as for the Lotto draw, but nobody got the five required to scoop the £350,000 top prize.
Nobody picked the winning Thunderball combination – 02, 21, 25, 34 and 37 plus the Thunderball number, which was 01 – meaning the £500,000 prize went unclaimed.
One player won £5,000 by choosing the five numbers without the Thunderball.
It comes after Joe and Jess Thwaite revealed themselves after winning £184million, Britain’s biggest-ever EuroMillions prize.
The couple are planning on taking their two children on a globe-trotting trip that will include Hawaii and Texas.
The Sun told how Joe, 49, and Jess, 44, celebrated the life-changing win with a £14.95 steak and chips meal at Miller and Carter.
They have also been eyeing up a £7.25million mansion just a tractor’s ride away from Jeremy Clarkson’s farm.
But first they will be splashing the cash on a new fence for their neighbour Faith Cox, 74.
