Each £2 line now plays twice per draw night, lifting overall prize odds to 1-in-4.9 and targeting 345 millionaires a year.

Allwyn will launch a new two-round format for the UK National Lottery’s Lotto on Wednesday 10 June, giving players two chances to win from a single £2 line. Tickets for the updated game went on sale Sunday 7 June.

Under the change, each line is automatically entered into two separate rounds on each Wednesday and Saturday draw night. Players still pick six numbers from 59, but two sets of six main numbers and a Bonus Ball will be drawn using two separate machines, meaning a single line can win in one round, the other, or both.

Allwyn said the update improves the odds of winning a prize from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9. The operator also said it expects the number of Lotto millionaires created each year to increase from around 140 to approximately 345, with jackpots still starting at £2M and rolling over up to five times before a must-be-won draw on the sixth.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, said, “This is a huge moment for players as we enter a new era for the nation’s millionaire maker, Lotto. From now on, every ticket gives you two chances to win for the same £2 price. We’re talking more winners, more excitement and hundreds more millionaires made every year. It really could be you – not once, but twice.”

Allwyn said the jackpot will be shared across both rounds, while other prize tiers remain fixed cash prizes paid per round. The Lotto HotPicks add-on will also shift to a two-round format and remain priced at £1.

Laedan Bridge advised and facilitated the deal as the iGaming studio targets broader distribution beyond 300+ operators.

F*BASTARDS has secured a seven-figure investment to accelerate game development and global expansion, the iGaming studio said. Malta-based investment brokerage and strategic advisory firm Laedan Bridge acted as strategic advisor and deal facilitator on the transaction.

The studio said the funding will be used to expand its operations, speed up its new game development pipeline, and strengthen distribution across global iGaming platforms. F*BASTARDS said its content is live across 300+ operators and leading aggregators.

Laedan Bridge said it structured and introduced the investment opportunity to its investor network and supported the transaction through to completion.

Justin Anastasi, Principal at Laedan Bridge, said: “From the beginning it was clear that F*BASTARDS was building something different — backed by extensive industry experience. The team brings together creativity, strong product thinking, and the courage to challenge traditional industry formulas. Supporting them in securing this investment was an easy decision, and we are excited to see the studio continue its rapid growth.”

Ugnius Seskas, Co-founder at F*BASTARDS, added: “We didn’t build F*BASTARDS to be another content shop — we built proprietary RGS/RNG infrastructure, and earned our place across 300+ operator integrations before most people had heard the name. This investment lets us push that foundation further: more titles, deeper reach, and a brand that operators and players can’t ignore.”
