A United Kingdom resident has claimed the £111 million top prize in Friday’s EuroMillions draw, according to confirmation from National Lottery operator Allwyn. The anonymous winner matched all five main numbers—11, 12, 15, 38, and 49—as well as both Lucky Star numbers, 10 and 12.
Andy Carter, Allwyn’s senior winners’ adviser, described the outcome as “fantastic news” for a player who has secured a “life-changing” sum. He encouraged members of the public to verify their tickets, noting, “Be sure to check your tickets and get in touch if you think you might be tonight’s lucky winner.”
This victory marks the third time a UK-based player has taken home the EuroMillions jackpot in 2026. On March 10, one winner claimed a £181 million prize, which stands as the third-largest in the history of the UK National Lottery. In April, two UK winners shared a £125 million jackpot alongside a French player.
The current record for the largest EuroMillions prize won by a UK player remains £195 million, claimed by an anonymous individual in 2022. Draws for the pan-European lottery are held on Tuesdays and Fridays across nine participating countries. Following Friday’s win, the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s draw is now set at £14 million.
£111 million is a huge life-changer. But surely the odds are still impossibly small for the rest of us.
Wow, three UK winners already this year? That is an amazing streak. Fingers crossed I’m next!
