The numbers, or more accurately strings of numbers and letters of varying lengths, are selected by a machine known as Ernie – Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment.
We publish details of the major monthly prize winners, from £1m to £1,000.
Our tables are published on the 1st of every month or the next working day if it falls on a weekend or Bank Holiday.
