The latest EuroMillions draw featured a staggering jackpot of £100 million. This substantial prize amount was the result of no players matching all five main numbers and the two lucky stars in the previous draw, where the jackpot stood at £91 million. Additionally, the National Lottery’s Thunderball draw on the same day offered 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 this draw were 1, 2, 4, 28, 44, with the Lucky Stars being 5 and 12.
In the UK, 11 ticket holders managed to secure £887 each by matching four main numbers and two lucky stars in this draw.
Looking ahead, the EuroMillions jackpot is expected to increase to an estimated £114 million for the upcoming Friday draw due to no jackpot winner this time.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, expressed excitement for the upcoming draw, highlighting that ten UK players are set to become millionaires with £1 million prizes guaranteed. Alongside these prizes, a £114 million jackpot awaits the lucky winners.
Players are advised to carefully compare their numbers with the winning ones before claiming any prizes. Larger prizes should be claimed directly through the National Lottery, while smaller amounts can typically be claimed at various retailers across the UK.
For significant wins like the jackpot, winners are encouraged to seek financial and legal advice to make informed decisions about their newfound wealth.
The EuroMillions draw also featured a lucky player winning £500,000 by matching five numbers and the Thunder Ball, while 25 individuals secured £250 each by matching four numbers along with the Thunder Ball.
In a recent poll conducted by Mirror, it was revealed that a majority of respondents would not share their jackpot news with the world, with only a small percentage expressing eagerness to do so.
The odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are approximately one in 139,838,160, with around 100 million people participating in the game across different countries each week.
Stay tuned for the upcoming EuroMillions draw results, which are expected to be announced shortly. Remember, the EuroMillions draw presents a chance for one fortunate player to win a life-changing £100 million jackpot, provided they match all the required numbers.
