EuroMillions Results: Winning Numbers Revealed for £140 Million Draw and Thunderball
The latest EuroMillions draw held on Tuesday, November 19, featured a staggering £140 million jackpot up for grabs. Participants eagerly awaited the winning numbers for both the EuroMillions and Thunderball draws, understanding the life-changing potential of these results.
The EuroMillions draw occurs every Tuesday and Friday, with a ticket costing £2.50. Each entry automatically includes a chance to win in the UK Millionaire Maker draw, creating new millionaires weekly. The jackpot can reach up to €190 million (around £167 million), offering substantial rewards to lucky winners.
For those who also entered the Thunderball draw, a prize of up to £500,000 was at stake. To secure a win, players needed to match specific combinations of main numbers and lucky stars. The draw timings were 8:00 pm for Thunderball and around 8:15 pm for EuroMillions.
Notably, in May 2022, a couple from Gloucester, Joe and Jess Thwaite, clinched the UK’s largest EuroMillions win of £184 million with a lucky dip ticket. This record was surpassed in July 2022 when another UK player claimed £195 million. However, their identity remains undisclosed.
Prior to the Thwaites, an anonymous winner held the record with a £170 million win in October 2019. Remarkably, on June 4, 2021, a UK ticket holder secured a £111 million jackpot, becoming one of the country’s top lottery winners. In June 2019, a single UK ticket holder won £123 million, ranking among the top EuroMillions wins in the UK.
The all-time record holders for the highest UK lottery win are Colin and Chris Weir from Scotland. Their £161 million victory in 2011 elevated them to this prestigious position. Following their win, the Weirs generously donated £1 million to the Scottish National Party.
Sadly, Mr. Weir passed away in December 2019. In 2012, Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk won over £148 million; however, they have since separated post-winning the EuroMillions jackpot. EuroMillions is a popular game across nine European countries, bringing together players from various regions in pursuit of immense fortunes.
The draw results revealed a mix of excitement, anticipation, and potential life-changing moments for lucky participants. Whether the winnings create new millionaires or contribute to existing records, the EuroMillions draws continue to captivate audiences with their monumental jackpots and life-altering opportunities.
