Two Brits claim a whopping £41m EACH after sharing EuroMillions jackpot

TWO EuroMillions jackpot prizes worth £41.8million each have been claimed.

The lucky ticket-holders, two from the UK and one from France, each scooped the life-changing sum this week.

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, confirmed the claims for both £41,844,862.30 jackpot prizes from the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, April 21.

The three winners will share the whopping £126million EuroMillions jackpot after each matched all five main numbers.

The lucky numbers were 13, 16, 29, 40, 47, along with the Lucky Stars 3 and 4.

It marks the first triple claim on a EuroMillions jackpot since May 2023, when winners from the UK, France, and Switzerland shared a £138million prize pot.

And the most recent double UK win occurred just months later in July 2023, with two players shared a £62million jackpot.

It marks the second UK jackpot win of 2026, following a £181million win in March, the third-biggest UK win ever.

The top spot is currently held by an anonymous player who pocketed £195.7million in July 2022, followed by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester who won £184.2million in May 2022.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “How incredible is it that we get to make dreams come true for not one, but two lucky UK EuroMillions winners on the same night.

“This is an amazing win with life-changing possibilities – just imagine the difference it will make to their lives and the lives of family and friends around them, and maybe even entire communities.”

He added: “Our focus is now on supporting these latest lucky winners through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.”

This £41million jackpot share will propel each of the new winners into overnight wealth, surpassing the likes of Sydney Sweeney, who is reportedly worth £30million.
