Allwyn, the operator of the UK National Lottery, confirmed that a UK ticket holder would receive Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot. The winning ticket matched all the main numbers 11, 12, 15, 38, 49 and Lucky Star numbers 10, 12.
EuroMillions’ top prize requires matching all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. BBC and The Independent reported the numbers from this draw as the same combination. This is why matching only some of the numbers must be distinguished from winning the jackpot.
Andy Carter, Allwyn’s senior winners’ adviser, said that anyone who believes they may have won should check their ticket and get in touch. The publicly available information does not confirm who the winner is or which region sold the winning ticket.
The UK’s Third Jackpot Win This Year
According to the BBC, this is the third EuroMillions jackpot win in the UK this year. Earlier, on March 10, a UK winner received 1억8,100만 pounds, and in April, two UK-based winners shared a 1억2,500만-pound jackpot with one winner from France.
The largest-ever EuroMillions prize for a UK ticket was 1억9,500만 pounds, won by an anonymous winner in 2022. This 1억1,100만-pound prize is also a large amount, but it is not the all-time record. In reports about large lottery wins, the first thing to verify is whether the winning numbers match the numbers on the ticket, rather than the size of the prize.
EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday night in 9 European countries. The BBC reported that after this jackpot, the estimated jackpot for the following Tuesday was 1,400만 pounds. This is an estimate and should be distinguished from prize money that has already been confirmed.
UK Participants Also Enter a Separate Draw
According to The Independent, a unique “UK Millionaire Maker” code is automatically included with one EuroMillions entry in the UK. Separate from winning EuroMillions numbers, this code enters an additional draw that guarantees a 100만-pound winner in every draw.
The Thunderball winning numbers announced on the same day were 12, 21, 26, 27, 37, and the Thunderball number was 3. Thunderball and EuroMillions are separate draws with different winning-number systems, so when checking a ticket, first make sure you are checking the correct ticket type.
