A massive jackpot prize of £139 million was available for the EuroMillions lottery draw tonight. Winning this jackpot could potentially enable you to retire, purchase your dream home, and travel the world. To participate in the game, players need to select six numbers from one to 59 or opt for a lucky dip, with each ticket costing £2.50.
In addition to the EuroMillions draw, tonight featured the Thunderball game offering a chance to win up to £500,000. Apart from the opportunity to win substantial cash prizes, playing the lottery contributes about £30 million every week to various UK charitable causes.
Andy Carter, the Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, expressed excitement for the upcoming EuroMillions draw, estimating a remarkable jackpot of £152 million on Tuesday. This could potentially make the winner the largest EuroMillions winner of 2026 in the UK and the seventh biggest National Lottery winner overall.
Although no British players claimed the jackpot tonight, the prize for next Tuesday is estimated to reach £152 million. The winning numbers for tonight’s draw were 14, 24, 27, 39, and 42, with Lucky Stars 6 and 10, while the Thunderball numbers were 11, 16, 26, 29, and 34, and the Thunderball itself was 8.
Participants had until 7.30pm to purchase tickets for the EuroMillions draw and the Thunderball draw followed around 8pm. The absence of winners in the previous draw led to the accumulation of a substantial £139 million jackpot.
A significant majority of Mirror readers expressed reluctance to share news of a jackpot win publicly, with 76% responding negatively in a poll. Only 4% showed enthusiasm, while 20% mentioned they would share the news with close friends and family.
Players have until the draw at 8.45pm to select their numbers for the EuroMillions draw, where they can choose five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12 or opt for a Lucky Dip for randomly generated numbers. Each line costs £2.50, and players can purchase multiple lines to increase their chances of winning. Good luck to all participants!
