The Easter Weekend promises to reward lucky Lotto players with some cracking prizes, with a Must Be Won draw set to take place on Saturday 19th April. The jackpot will be raised to £15 million for the special event, whether Wednesday’s £5.2 million top prize is won or not. The extra money comes from the Lotto Reserve Fund, which receives a percentage of the prize pot in every draw. Apart from the enhanced jackpot, the draw will work the same as usual, with one key difference - if there are no tickets that match all the numbers, the entire £15 million will ‘roll down’ to the other prize tiers. If this happens, everyone who matches at least two numbers will be awarded a significantly larger payout than normal. Instead of just getting a Lucky Dip, for example, all Match 2 winners will also get £5, while the Match 3 prize will increase from £30 to around £100.
