UK ticket holder wins 'life-changing' £111m EuroMillions jackpot
It is the third time a UK-based player has scooped the EuroMillions jackpot this year, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
A UK ticket holder has won Friday's £111 million EuroMillions jackpot, National Lottery operator Allwyn has announced. One anonymous player matched all five main numbers - 11, 12, 15, 38, and 49 - along with the two Lucky Star numbers - 10 and 12 - to claim the major prize. Allwyn's senior winners' advisor, Andy Carter, expressed delight at the "fantastic news for a UK EuroMillions player" who has secured the life-changing sum.
This marks the third time a UK winner has claimed the jackpot this year. On March 10, another UK winner took home a £181 million jackpot, the third-largest in UK National Lottery history. In April, two UK-based players shared a £125 million jackpot with a French player. Allwyn urges ticket holders to check their tickets and contact them if they believe they might be tonight's lucky winner.
The current record for the largest EuroMillions prize for a UK player stands at £195 million, won by an anonymous player in 2022. EuroMillions draws occur every Tuesday and Friday night across nine European countries. Tuesday's jackpot has now risen to an estimated £14 million.
