A special Superdraw at the start of December 2023 boosted the jackpot to €200 million – rather than the usual €130 million - and a couple of rollovers later it had reached its then-limit of €240 million.
Out of all the tickets sold in Europe, a single player from Austria matched all the numbers. They had purchased their entry online, so there was no danger of them missing out on the prize. The jackpot was more than double the amount that had ever been won in Austria before.
The big win happened in the first draw at the jackpot cap, so it could have stayed at that value much closer to Christmas before it had to be won.
The EuroMillions jackpot reached its limit (at the time) of 230 million Euros ahead of the draw on Friday 8th July, where it remained until Tuesday 19th July when one lucky ticket sold in the UK scooped the entire prize.
The winner claimed their money quickly but no more information was released as they decided not to go public.
If the jackpot had not been won in this draw, a Must Be Won draw would have taken place in the subsequent draw.
EuroMillions set its third record in less than a year when a €220 million jackpot was won in October 2021, following a Superdraw in late September when the top prize got boosted to €130 million.
France celebrated another big win, but it soon emerged that the ticket had actually been purchased thousands of miles away on the Pacific island of Tahiti.
As it is part of French Polynesia, EuroMillions is available to lottery fans in the region, and this winner was a young woman who had never previously played the game. She said she wanted to travel the world and ‘discover the snow’ she hadn’t seen before. She said she would continue to walk in bare feet.
This jackpot set a new record for the biggest-ever win in the UK, after soaring to €215 million (£184 million) in the space of just seven and a half weeks in the spring of 2022.
A €130 million Superdraw had been scheduled for late April, but it was effectively postponed as the top prize was already worth more. One more rollover would have pushed the jackpot to its €230 million cap, but a UK ticket holder matched all the numbers on 10th May.
The jackpot was claimed by Joe and Jess Thwaite of Gloucester. They revealed that they still went to work on the day they found out, and decided to go public because they did not want to ‘burden’ others with having to keep their secret.
Setting a new record for the biggest jackpot win in EuroMillions history, a ticket holder from Switzerland scooped the entire capped top prize on Friday 26th February.
The win came less than three months after the previous capped jackpot was won in France and, as a result, the maximum jackpot has now increased by €10 million for the next time it gets hit, in line with the game rules.
Few details are known about the winner, other than the fact that they purchased their ticket online in German-speaking Switzerland. The lucky winner purchased two tickets at a total cost of CHF 7.00. The new record jackpot winner won more than 32.8 million times their original stake.
A lucky ticket holder from the south of France scooped €200 million in this draw, making it the first time in the history of the game that a jackpot exceeding the previous €190 million limit had been hit.
The jackpot reached the limit after a €130 million Superdraw that took place on 20th November rolled over for the six subsequent draws.
It was later revealed that the winner had set up an environmental foundation called Anyama, and planned to use almost all of his money to help fight climate change. Known only as ‘Guy’, he had only bought his ticket so that he could make a difference to the world if he won, and said it was his desire to ‘protect the living and watch over our own future’.
A player from the UK picked up a jackpot worth £171 million (€193 million) in this draw, making them the third big winner from the country in the same year.
The huge jackpot had been set up by a Superdraw on 9th September. It kept building for two more weeks before being won. The lucky ticket holder came forward to claim their money within 48 hours.
One of the most extraordinary periods in EuroMillions history resulted in one UK ticket holder winning the joint-biggest EuroMillions jackpot of all time and the biggest lottery prize ever won in the UK.
After 18 consecutive rollovers the jackpot hit €190 million - which was the cap at the time - on 24th September 2019, before another four draws went by still without a winner. A 'Must Be Won' draw, in which all of the prize money was guaranteed to be given away, took place on Tuesday 8th October and one player matched all the numbers in that draw to win the entire jackpot.
The player staked their claim just a couple of days after the draw and it was later confirmed that they had decided to stay anonymous, so no more details were revealed.
The Bayfords won an incredible €190 million jackpot in the draw on Friday 10th August 2012, the joint-biggest ever jackpot in EuroMillions history and the UK’s second-biggest lottery prize at the time. The duo, then based in Suffolk, bought their winning Lucky Dip ticket in a Premier Convenience Store on Queen Street, Haverhill. They scooped the maximum nine-figure amount after the jackpot cap was reached following 14 successive rollovers.
Adrian, a former postman who also had a movie and music memorabilia shop, and Gillian, previously a healthcare assistant, enjoyed their new-found wealth almost immediately by splashing out on top-of-the-range cars, helicopter flights and multi-million-pound mansions. However, the couple, who have two children together, divorced only 15 months after their big win following the breakdown of their nine-year marriage.
A EuroMillions ticket holder in Portugal decided to remain anonymous after matching all seven numbers to land a spectacular €190 million windfall on Friday 24th October 2014. A EuroMillions Superdraw was held three weeks earlier, and the jackpot cap was reached following five successive rollovers. The lucky player became the joint-biggest winner in the lottery’s history as well as Portugal’s 53rd recipient of the top prize.
The mystery winner bought their jackpot-winning ticket from Sobedis Tabacaria, a small shop within the Alegro Shopping Centre owned at the time by Graça Nunes. It was the first time the shop had produced a jackpot-winning EuroMillions ticket in the 15 years they’d been selling lottery tickets, and they reported an increase in ticket sales following the news about the anonymous winner.
