UK and Spanish Tickets Split €144 Million EuroMillions Jackpot

Two ticket holders have split the biggest EuroMillions jackpot of the year. They matched all the numbers in the latest draw on Tuesday 30th January to pick up €72 million (£61 million) each.

The winning numbers for the €144 million (£123 million) draw were 5, 10, 19, 27 and 30, plus Lucky Stars 5 and 6. Head over to the EuroMillions Results page to find out everything you need to know about the draw, including the number of winners in each category and the number of winners from each country.

It was quickly announced that the winning tickets were sold in the UK and Spain. While no more information was disclosed about the UK winner, the Spanish National Lottery revealed that its lucky ticket was sold in Leganés, Madrid.

The wait now begins for the lucky participants to claim their money. The UK winner has 180 days to come forward, while in Spain the claim deadline is three months.

When they do make their claims, they must also decide whether to go public with their stories or stay anonymous.

Third Big Win of 2024

The latest jackpot success follows hot on the heels of two other big wins in January. A French player scooped €87 million on Tuesday 16th January, before a Belgian ticket holder won €17 million in the very next draw.

The jackpot was then quickly increased to €130 million for a Superdraw on Friday 26th January. It rolled over on the night but has now been snapped up at the next attempt.

Superdraws only happen a few times a year, and often pave the way for some of EuroMillions’ biggest-ever jackpots. A special Megadraw in December 2023, for example, saw the jackpot increased to €200 million. It rolled over a couple of times and then an Austrian player won a record €240 million a week later. The jackpot cap was subsequently raised to €250 million.

After the latest big win it is already shaping up to be an exciting year for EuroMillions players. There will also be more Superdraws to come and there is a possibility that a new record could be set.

You can take part in EuroMillions draws every Tuesday and Friday night. Check afterwards to find out if you are a winner.
