Two UK ticket-holders win more than £41m each in EuroMillions jackpot

Two UK ticket-holders have each won more than £41 million after they shared Tuesday’s EuroMillions jackpot with a winner in France, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.

Tonight’s estimated jackpot was £126 million.

Two tickets bought in the UK and one bought in France matched all seven numbers and shared the jackpot, winning £41,844,862.30 each.

The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 16, 29, 40, 47. The lucky stars were: 03, 04.

In the Millionaire Maker Selection was HVHT22088. One UK millionaire was created.

Andy Carter, the senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, urged players to check their tickets, saying: “It’s been another great night for EuroMillions players as two lucky UK winners have won an incredible share of tonight’s £126 million jackpot prize.

“These lucky ticket-holders join the £181 million jackpot winner from 10 March – another big UK win.”

Friday’s jackpot is now an estimated £14 million.

It comes after a UK ticket-holder won £181m in the EuroMillions in March – the third-largest win in UK National Lottery history.

Another huge win was awarded to a UK ticket-holder who scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million on 19 July 2022.

Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester collected a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for a May 2022 draw.

At the time of their life-changing win, Joe was a communications sales engineer and his wife Jess ran a hairdressing salon with her sister.

A ticket-holder in France also won the record-setting EuroMillions jackpot of €250 million – an estimated £210 million – in August last year.

When people win the lottery, a 180-day countdown starts from the day the numbers are drawn to claim their prize. After that time, all unclaimed money – and any interest earned – goes to the National Lottery Good Causes fund.
