UK ticketholder bags £83m EuroMillions jackpot - as players urged to check tickets

A UK ticketholder has won the £83m EuroMillions jackpot - but is yet to come forward to claim the prize.

The winning player matched all five main numbers and both the lucky star numbers to win £83,474,081.80 in the draw on Friday 24 January.

The main winning numbers were 02, 11, 19, 30 and 49, while the lucky star numbers were 03 and 08.

Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, urged players to check their tickets.

He said: "What a fantastic night for a single UK ticket-holder who has scooped tonight's £83m EuroMillions jackpot!

"This lucky winner represents the first UK EuroMillions jackpot win of 2025, what a way to start the year."

Last month, a UK ticket-holder claimed £177m in the EuroMillions draw, making them wealthier than popstar Dua Lipa, who is worth an estimated £104m.

The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, scooped the third-biggest National Lottery winner ever.

The biggest EuroMillions win by UK players was in 2022 when a single ticket-holder won £195m.

Two months before that, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw in May 2022.
