Two UK ticket-holders win more than £41m each in EuroMillions jackpot
National Lottery operator Allwyn said two British ticket holders won more than £41 million each after splitting Tuesday’s EuroMillions jackpot with a winner in France.
Tonight’s estimated jackpot was £126 million.
Two tickets bought in the UK and one ticket bought in France matched all seven numbers, sharing the jackpot, winning £41,844,862.30 each.
The winning numbers in the National Lottery EuroMillions are: 13, 16, 29, 40, 47. The lucky stars are: 03, 04.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, urged players to check their tickets and said: “It’s been another great night for EuroMillions players as two lucky winners from the UK won an incredible share of tonight’s £126 million jackpot prize.
“These lucky ticket holders join the winner of the £181 million jackpot on March 10 – another huge victory for the UK.”
Friday’s jackpot is currently estimated at £14 million.
This comes after a UK ticket holder won £181 million at EuroMillions in March; this was the third biggest win in the history of the UK National Lottery.
Another top prize was awarded to the British ticket holder who scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million on 19 July 2022.
Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, raised a record-breaking £184,262,899 with their Lucky Dip ticket for the May 2022 draw.
At the time of their life-changing win, Joe was a communications sales engineer and his wife, Jess, ran a hair salon with her sister.
A ticket holder in France also won the record-breaking EuroMillions jackpot of €250 million (estimated £210 million) in August last year.
When people win the lottery, a 180-day countdown begins from the day the numbers are drawn to claim their prize. At the end of this period, all unclaimed money and interest earned are transferred to the National Lottery Good Purposes fund.
