The overall jackpot can rise to €190m (approximately £167m). If you bought a ticket you can check your numbers below. Good luck! How many numbers do you need to win? If you have got two numbers or one number and two lucky stars or better then you are a winner. Players must match all five main numbers and two lucky star numbers to claim the jackpot. The Thunderball draw was also made tonight and the results will also be displayed below. The Thunderball draw takes place at 8pm and the Euromillions draw takes place at around 8.15pm. In May 2022 Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, became the UK's biggest-ever Euromillions winners after netting £184m with a lucky dip ticket.

In June 2019 a single ticketholder in the UK won £123m in the Tuesday night Euromillions draw. It was the third-biggest Euromillions jackpot in the UK since the draw launched in 2004. It meant they instantly became as rich as Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James (£127m) and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page (£125m). June 2023 was a lucrative month for UK players with a ticketholder bagging a £117.1m jackpot on June 2 while another winner scooped the £55m jackpot on June 20.

For one Irish ticket holder this is now a reality. The huge jackpot of £208 million was won last night after the prize money had gone weeks without a winner. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 No one had claimed the jackpot after four consecutive draws Credit: AFP After four consecutive draws without a winner, the eye-watering sum was eventually scooped up by a winner based in Ireland. The prize pot stood at €250 million, making this lucky ticket holder now Ireland's biggest ever lottery winner. The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05. The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches €250m, and is able to be rolled over four times. Once on the fifth draw, the prize must be won! Therefore, Tuesday night's draw was the last chance for the jaw-dropping amount to be rolled over after no one won in the four previous draws. But instead of having to be rolled down into the prize tier on Friday, this Irish lottery entrant became the country's 18th EuroMillions jackpot winner. The last Irish winner of EuroMillions jackpot was in February 2022, when someone netted a respectable €30.9 million which they had bought in a service station. Since the EuroMillions began in 2004, the UK has had 132 jackpot winners - the most of any other nation. France is not far behind with 131 winners, and Spain is the only other nation to have more than 100 winners, with 122. Who are the biggest winners? While the UK leads in terms of all-time winners, no one has ever won a figure close to the £208 million won on Tuesday. The last time a UK winner won big on the jackpot was on November 24 2024, when a lucky ticket holder claimed a prize pot of £177 million.

While many of the UK's biggest winners remain anonymous, one couple from Gloucester decided to go public. After winning a jaw-dropping £184 million on May 10 2022, Joe and Jess Thwaite had their lives changed forever. 3 The UK's second biggest winners ever are Joe and Jess Thwaites from Gloucester Credit: Splash The married couple have put their money into founding an investment company since winning, in a bid to grow their fortune further. They founded Issodola, which invests their clients' money in stocks and securities. Evelyn Partners, who famously looked after former PM Rishi Sunak's tax return, run the investment company which asks investors to put an initial £500,000 and stump up annual fees of £46,000. The Thwaites held the title for the UK's biggest ever winners for less than two months as their life-changing sum was eventually trumped by a winner on July 19 2022, who bagged a whopping £195m. Already this month, the UK has seen five winners of £3.6 million on June 13, and two more on June 10 and June 6, winning £4.5 million and £2 million respectively. 3 The EuroMillions has run since 2004 with Tuesday night seeing its biggest winner ever Credit: Getty The first EuroMillions draw took place on February 7, 2004, by three organisations: France's Française des Jeux, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and the Camelot in the UK.
