The latest EuroMillions draw featured a staggering jackpot of £100 million on Tuesday. This significant sum came about as no one managed to match all five main numbers and the two lucky stars in the previous draw, where the jackpot stood at £91 million. In addition to the EuroMillions draw, the National Lottery’s Thunderball also took place with a jackpot of £500,000.
To win the EuroMillions jackpot, players need to match all five main numbers ranging from one to 50 and two lucky star numbers from one to 12. The winning numbers for the night were 1, 2, 4, 28, 44, with the Lucky Stars being 5 and 12.
In the draw, a total of 11 UK ticket holders each won £887 by matching four main numbers and two lucky stars. The jackpot for the upcoming EuroMillions draw on Friday is estimated to be £114 million, as no one successfully claimed the jackpot in the recent draw.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, highlighted the anticipation for the next draw. Ten UK players are guaranteed to become millionaires on Friday, with ten £1 million prizes up for grabs alongside the £114 million jackpot. Carter advised players to secure their tickets early for a chance at winning a life-changing prize.
Players are reminded to carefully check their numbers against the winning ones before claiming any prizes. Larger prizes must be claimed directly through the National Lottery, while smaller amounts can be claimed at various retailers across the UK. For significant wins like the jackpot, players are advised to seek financial and legal guidance before making decisions.
The winning Thunderball numbers for the night were 7, 16, 24, 31, 39, and the Thunderball was 6. The odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are approximately one in 139,838,160, and the Thunderball jackpot odds are one in 8,060,598.
