EuroMillions Jackpot Hits £40 Million For Start of Mega Week

Mega Week was only launched in September when a number of changes were made to EuroMillions, to spark extra excitement on both a Tuesday and a Friday for UK players at the end of every month. A variety of different promotions have already been offered, and this week there will be five winners of the Millionaire Maker tonight, plus another five on Friday.

Each winner will be treated to a seven-night trip to the Big Apple, allowing them to indulge in a $5,000 shopping spree to Bloomingdale’s, go to a Broadway show and fly over the city on a helicopter tour, staying during the trip in five-star accommodation at the Park Hyatt.

While Mega Week guarantees that there will be big winners, the main EuroMillions game provides another opportunity to land a fortune in case you do not match one of the Millionaire Maker codes. The jackpot was won in both Mega Week draws last month, as a Belgian player won €50.1 million (£44.7 million) on Tuesday 25th October and a ticket holder from Portugal scooped €17.3 million (£15.6 million) on Friday 28th October, when the first European Millionaire Maker also took place.

There was another jackpot winner on Tuesday 8th November, but the total has been steadily growing for the past fortnight and has now hit £40 million just in time for Mega Week. With Christmas around the corner, it would be the perfect time to snap up any sort of prize, and there are plenty of life-changing awards available this week if you fancy getting involved. You can buy tickets now by visiting an authorised retailer or playing online. Good luck!
