Yes it’s time once again to take another look at how things went during last month. And we’ve got a new look slimmed down version of the report for you from now on – featuring the two most important draws of all. These are the main Lotto draw and the EuroMillions draw.
So without further ado, let’s see which numbers came out during October.
The results for the Lotto draw in October
Machine | Date | Balls | Numbers | Jackpot | Jackpot Winner |
Topaz | Sat 03 Oct | 8 | 14, 21, 23, 32, 36,46 | £4.86m | Two |
Amethyst | Wed 07 Oct | 8 | 26, 27, 28, 43, 45,46 | £2.86m | Two |
Sapphire | Sat 10 Oct | 5 | 17, 36, 37, 40, 43,45 | £5.22m | Two |
Topaz | Wed 14 Oct | 7 | 5, 11, 24, 32, 35, 42 | £2.38m | Four |
Topaz | Sat 17 Oct | 6 | 11, 25, 27, 32, 37,43 | £4.55m | One |
Topaz | Wed 21 Oct | 7 | 6, 12, 16, 19, 33, 44 | £2.05m | One |

Topaz | Sat 31 Oct | 2 | 12, 18, 26, 35, 40,44 | £12.81m | Four |
For the purposes of this chart the bonus ball numbers have not been included.
So we had sixteen jackpot winners all in all. And there were two draws – consecutive ones at that – which did not have any jackpot winners at all, leading to a nice rollover amount of nearly thirteen million on that final draw of the month.
The highest jackpot winning share was on the 17th, when one winner walked away with £4,556,769. The lowest share was won by four people on the 14th, which was £595,593.
There was quite a difference between the lowest and highest five plus bonus ball wins as well, with the lowest being £53,926 on the 17th and the highest being £294,191 on the 7th.
As for the numbers themselves, we can see at a glance that single digit numbers were not very much in evidence last month. Just four of them appeared over the entire month, with 5 appearing twice. Yet at least one number in the forties appeared every week except for one, so perhaps there will be some evening out next month?
EuroMillions
Date | Jackpot |
Fri 02 Oct | £13.76m |

Fri 16 Oct | £40.39m |
Fri 23 Oct | £55.86m |
Fri 30 Oct | £71.27m |
As you can probably tell this was a big rollover month! But what you may not know is that there were no winners in that last draw for the 30th October either. So be prepared next month because the jackpot will be even higher still when we come back to see if anyone scooped it.
And as with the main Lotto draw, single digit numbers were not that common in the final analysis. Just three of the twenty five main winning numbers over the five draws were single digit ones.
So once again, perhaps that might give you an edge for next month. We’ll see you then.
