Excitement is beginning to build ahead of this Wednesday’s £19.7 million Lotto draw as the game’s top prize creeps ever closer to its £22 million jackpot cap.The reward on offer has been building ever since a single ticket holder walked away with £16.9 million on Saturday 9th September.

The second largest jackpot of 2017 came just nine draws later on Saturday 24th June as an anonymous ticket holder landed a prize worth £21.3 million.
