Euromillions results: Tonight's winning lottery numbers revealed with huge £199m jackpot up for grabs

Independent2 days ago

One lucky ticket-holder could have just bagged the biggest EuroMillions win the UK has ever seen as the winning lottery numbers are revealed.
In a record EuroMillions draw, Tuesday's jackpot was an estimated £199 million.
If a UK player has scooped the top prize, it would mark the largest win the country has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
Tuesday's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are 12, 15, 38, 47, 48. The Lucky Stars are 05, 07.
No-one won the EuroMillions jackpot on Friday, meaning the top prize rolled over into Tuesday's draw.
In around an hour, it will be revealed if the top prize has rolled over again – or if a lucky ticket-holder has bagged the 'massive life-changing win'.
They would have become richer than the likes of Dua Lipa, who is worth an estimated £104 million, and Harry Kane, reportedly worth around £91million.
If a player has won and they are from the UK, this would land them at the number one spot of The National Lottery's biggest scoops, according to Allwyn.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, explained: 'If a single UK ticket-holder wins the lot, they'll instantly become richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane whilst landing at the number one spot of The National Lottery's biggest wins.'
An Anonymous UK ticket-holder scooped the existing record jackpot of £195 million on 19 July 2022.
Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on 10 May 2022. At the time, Joe was a communications sales engineer, and Jess ran a hairdressing salon with her sister.
The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177 million jackpot in the draw on 26 November last year. The winner became immediately wealthier than popstar Dua Lip and Michael Buble, who is worth around £63 million.

‘It's not nice to see' – Lewis Hamilton warned he's suffering from same issue as Michael Schumacher after Ferrari switch

LEWIS HAMILTON is "lost" and suffering the same problem that fellow Formula One icon Michael Schumacher did. Hamilton, 40, has struggled to extract top performance from his Ferrari machinery since joining the team over the winter. 4 4 The Brit has achieved one Sprint Race win in China but has otherwise failed to achieve a podium for the Scuderia. Former F1 star and Sky Sports F1 pundit Johnny Herbert believes Hamilton is suffering the same issues as Schumacher, 56, did when he came back to the motorsport after a break. That being the "raw pace just isn't there anymore", a thought which Herbert says is "not nice to see". Schumacher - whose ex-F1 boss gave an insight into his health battle - retired from F1 in 2006 before returning with Mercedes in 2010, but only achieved one podium in three seasons with the Silver Arrows. Speaking to InstantWithdrawalBettingSites, Herbert, 60, said: "It just looks like Lewis Hamilton is lost, really lost. "I don't know if the raw pace that he's always had throughout his career is there anymore. "I thought, with the pure racing skill Hamilton had, he'd be able to drive around any problems with the car but he seems stuck in a hole. It's not nice to see. "It's not the first time we've seen it in the sport, though. Nigel Mansell won his championship in 1992, went to America in 1993, came back in 1994 and it didn't work anymore for him. "It happened with Michael Schumacher too, when he had his break and came back, then he wasn't the same Schumacher as before. "You're always going to have your peak and an end of your peak. It's not nice to see." Hamilton's team-mate Charles Leclerc has raised his own complaints about the car and race engineers, but has managed to eke out better results with three podium finishes, including back-to-back in Monaco and Spain. Herbert added: "I know Charles Leclerc is not happy with the car either, but at least he's getting podium finishes consistently. "There have been a couple of poor decisions in Ferrari's strategy and poor communication over the radio, Hamilton doesn't have the synergy with his engineer that he needs. "He hasn't found his comfort zone since the sprint win in China. "Sometimes you don't realise when it's not as easy as it was before, but when you look across the garage and your team-mate is outperforming you, then it may click. "The greats of the sport, at their peak, get the best out of their car. Max Verstappen is doing it right now. Hamilton just can't seem to get the extra he needs anymore. "He won't understand why he can't, because he'll feel like he should be able to. But, Leclerc is outperforming you in the same car. Leclerc is only going to grow and is in control of Ferrari's future. "He's the guy they can rely on, Ferrari can't rely on Lewis Hamilton at this point. It's horrible to say but it's the truth." Former Mercedes and McLaren star Hamilton appeared close to tears following the Spanish Grand Prix where he finished P6, even after a penalty for old rival Max Verstappen bumped him up the order. 4 Hamilton later apologised to Sky Sports F1 presenter Rachel Brookes after his blunt response to a question, where he snapped: "Well what do you want me to say? I had a really bad day and I've got nothing to say. 'It was a difficult day, I've got nothing else to add to it. There's no point explaining it." Hamilton will now have next weekend off to help him collect his thoughts before getting back behind the wheel for the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15. McLaren pair Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris lead the World Drivers Championship, with the Aussie leading by 10 points after claiming victory in Barcelona last weekend. He has opened up a huge 49-point gap to reigning four-time world champion Verstappen after the Dutchman lost his head and crashed into Mercedes' George Russell when asked to yield his position. Despite calls to be disqualified, the incident saw the Red Bull driver being given a 10-second time penalty, dropping him from P5 to P10, and slapped with three penalty points on his FIA Super Licence. That decision has placed him on the brink of a race ban after collecting 11 out of a maximum of 12 penalty points. The system works on a 12-month rolling timer, but the next time the 27-year-old will see any points taken off his record will be June 30. Races are due to commence in Montreal and Spielberg before that date, meaning he will have to be on his best behaviour to avoid a ban. Picking up another point in Canada will mean a ban for his team's home race at the Red Bull Ring, meanwhile, a point in Austria would see him banned for the British Grand Prix on July 6. Hamilton himself sits P6 in the standings, while his team have squeezed their way into P2.

Germany's Merz to meet Trump with Ukraine war high on agenda

Update: Date: 15:58 BST Title: Merz's trip comes one day after 50% steel tariffs kick in Content: Tariffs are likely to be high on the German chancellor's agenda. Merz's trip to Washington DC comes just one day after a 50% tariff on steel and aluminium imports kicked in. The move hikes import taxes on the metals, which are used in everything from cars to canned food, for the second time since March. Trump says the measures are intended to secure the future of the American steel industry. Critics say the protections could wreak havoc on steel producers outside the US, spark retaliation from trade partners, and come at a punishing cost for American users of the metals. The UK has been temporarily spared from the tariff. Trump said in the order that the UK needed "different treatment" because of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD) signed on 8 May 2025. Trump later added that the US might increase the tariff on the UK "on or after 9July 2025" if it "determines that the United Kingdom has not complied with relevant aspects of the EPD". Update: Date: 15:51 BST Title: Merz says he is 'well prepared' for Trump talks Content: Bernd Debusmann JrReporting from the White House Merz is staying at Blair House, just across from the White House. Just a short while ago, Chancellor Merz held a short press briefing for traveling German journalists at Blair House, the location just across the street from the White House where he's staying. In his remarks, Merz said he was "looking forward" to the visit and is "well-prepared". "Nato will be a major topic," Merz told reporters. "As will trade and Ukraine." Merz also suggested he's ready for any potential ambush if Trump or his team bring up Germanys far-right AfD or freedom of speech issues in Germany. "When we talk about German domestic politics, I will use clear words," he said. Update: Date: 15:46 BST Title: The good, the bad and the ugly of President Trump's bilaterals Content: A meeting between two world leaders or representatives isn't always front page news. However, the way President Trump's bilateral meetings have gone in the past few months, the outcomes are harder to predict. Back in February, Indian Prime Minister Modi hailed a "mega partnership" with the US during a two-day visit, as he and Trump agreed on a deal for Delhi to import more American oil and gas. Later in the month, Trump told a joint news conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "We like each other, frankly, and we like each other's country.' He seemed dazzled when Starmer presented him with a letter from King Charles in the Oval Office. The next day, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky faced an extraordinary dressing down in front of the world's media, after Trump and Vice-President JD Vance demanded that he show more gratitude for US support in its fight against Russia's invasion. And in May, Trump ambushed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a live news conference with widely discredited claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa. Update: Date: 15:45 BST Title: What's on the agenda for Trump and Merz? Content: Though there isn't an official list of topics that Trump and Merz plan to address at their first bilateral meeting, the German embassy in Washington has said that war and trade will be on the agenda. 'Key topics will include bilateral relations as well as international issues such as Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, and trade policy,' the embassy said. Merz has been a hard-line supporter of Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelensky, someone with whom Trump has had his fair share of contention. Germany has also pushed back on Trump's tariffs, particularly those on steel and cars, which would heavily impact German manufacturers. As other world leaders have visited Washington for similar meetings over the last few months, that's been a major talking point. Update: Date: 15:40 BST Title: German chancellor to meet Trump in the Oval Office Content: Welcome to our live coverage of the bilateral meeting between US President Donald Trump and newly elected German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Merz, a member of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), was elected on 6 May, and this is the first official meeting between the two leaders. After initial greetings, Trump and Merz will head to the Oval Office where they will hold what's known as a "spray" - when reporters are invited to shout questions at the two.
