In the latest EuroMillions draw on Friday, March 14th, the winning numbers were eagerly anticipated as the jackpot reached a staggering £136 million. The EuroMillions draw occurs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, with a ticket costing £2.50. Each ticket includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw, which creates new millionaires in the UK every week. The overall EuroMillions jackpot can escalate to €190 million, which is approximately £167 million. Participants also have the chance to enter the Thunderball draw, where they can win up to £500,000.
To be victorious in the EuroMillions draw, players need to match all five main numbers and two lucky star numbers to claim the jackpot.

The Thunderball draw also took place on the same night, with results being announced shortly after. The Thunderball draw is typically held at 8 pm, followed by the EuroMillions draw around 8.15 pm.
In a heartwarming tale from May 2022, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester became the UK’s most substantial EuroMillions winners, securing a phenomenal £184 million with a lucky dip ticket. Their record-breaking triumph was short-lived, as another UK player emerged in July 2022 to claim a jackpot of £195 million; however, this winner chose to remain anonymous. Prior to their win, the previous record was held by an undisclosed winner who scooped £170 million in October 2019.
Back in June 4, 2021, a fortunate ticket holder in the UK clinched the £111 million jackpot in the Friday night draw, matching all seven numbers and becoming the country’s ninth-largest lottery winner at that time. In June 2019, a solitary ticket holder in the UK won a monumental £123 million in the Tuesday night EuroMillions draw, marking it as the third-largest EuroMillions jackpot triumph in the UK since the draw’s inception in 2004. This win instantly propelled the ticket holder to a financial status akin to that of renowned figures such as EL James and Jimmy Page.
However, the title for the most significant EuroMillions victory in the UK belongs to Colin and Chris Weir from North Ayrshire in Scotland, who bagged an astounding £161 million in 2011, securing their place as the current record holders for the UK’s most substantial lottery win. Following their win, they notably donated £1 million to the Scottish National Party. Regrettably, Mr. Weir passed away at the age of 71 back in December 2019.
In 2012, Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk won a sizeable sum exceeding £148 million. Despite their monumental win, the couple eventually went their separate ways.
