UK EuroMillions players urged to check tickets after winner yet to claim £83.4m jackpot
Players have been urged to check their tickets after National Lottery operator Allwyn said the winner in last Friday's draw is still to come forward.
The winner purchased their ticket in a retail setting, Allwyn revealed on Thursday, after matching all five main numbers and both Lucky Star numbers to scoop the jackpot.
The winning EuroMillions numbers on Friday were 2, 11, 19, 30, 49 and the Lucky Star numbers were 3 and 8.
This player is now urged to check their paper ticket, either in-store or scan their EuroMillions ticket via the National Lottery app, and then call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 in order to make their claim.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said, 'I can't believe there's one lucky ticket-holder out there who hasn't claimed this incredible EuroMillions jackpot prize – there are 83,474,081 reasons for them to check their ticket straight away.
'It's only been six days since the EuroMillions draw but, we're waiting with bated breath to pay out this latest huge winner. We're urging all EuroMillions players to check their paper tickets to see if they are our missing multi-millionaire.
'This is our first EuroMillions UK jackpot winner of 2025, following on from an incredible 2024 which saw four UK EuroMillions jackpots won, including a £177m win by an anonymous single ticket-holder in November, which was the third largest-ever UK win.'
The biggest UK EuroMillions jackpot win of all time was an anonymous ticket-holder who banked £195m in July 2022.
Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester hold second place on the list, and are the biggest-ever public winners with a £184m jackpot win in the EuroMillions draw on 10 May 2022.
The latest £83.4m win comes nearly a year to the day after Richard and Debbie Nuttall from Lancashire shared the £123m jackpot prize in the draw on 30 January 2024.

US to hold more than 30 offshore oil and gas auctions through 2040
Aug 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday unveiled a comprehensive schedule to hold more than 30 offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Cook Inlet over the next 15 years. The plan fulfills a directive in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed last month, and is aligned with his administration's energy dominance agenda to boost domestic fossil fuel production. The schedule marks a significant departure from former President Joe Biden, whose administration had planned for a historically small number of drilling rights auctions as part of its efforts to address climate change. "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a landmark step toward unleashing America's energy potential," Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement. "Under President Trump's leadership, we're putting in place a bold, long-term program that strengthens American Energy Dominance, creates good-paying jobs and ensures we continue to responsibly develop our offshore resources." The schedule includes 30 lease sales through 2040 in the Gulf of Mexico, which Trump has renamed the Gulf of America. The first Gulf sale is set for Dec. 10 of this year. Starting next year, there will be two sales in the Gulf annually through 2039 and one in 2040. Six lease sales are planned for Alaska's Cook Inlet through 2032. The first will be held in March of 2026.
