National Lottery EuroMillions Jackpot: Recent Winners and Latest Draws
Introduction: The Excitement of EuroMillions Jackpots
The National Lottery’s EuroMillions continues to captivate millions across Europe with its life-changing jackpots. EuroMillions is a lottery played across nine European countries, with draws on Tuesday and Friday evenings featuring a minimum guaranteed jackpot of €17 million that can roll over to €250 million. Recent December 2025 draws have created multiple millionaires, demonstrating the lottery’s power to transform lives overnight.
Recent Jackpot Winners
The winning ticket in the 12th December 2025 EuroMillions draw was sold in Ireland, with a jackpot of €17 million. The winning numbers were 07, 25, 30, 37, 41 and the lucky stars were 05 and 11. This follows another significant win earlier in the week.
A lucky winner snagged the £125 million jackpot in the 9th December EuroMillions draw, though the winner was not based in the UK. The single winning jackpot ticket was purchased in Belgium. The winning numbers were 2, 8, 13, 29, 49 and the lucky stars were 2 and 11.
How EuroMillions Works
Understanding the mechanics of EuroMillions helps players appreciate the significance of these wins. EuroMillions requires seven correct numbers to win the jackpot: 5 main numbers and 2 Lucky Star Numbers, with draws held every Tuesday and Friday night at approximately 21:05 CET in Paris. A standard EuroMillions ticket costs €2.50, £2.50 or CHF 3.50 per line played.
UK players also benefit from an additional feature. UK EuroMillions players can win a top prize of £1 million in the free Millionaire Maker Raffle, included in the ticket’s price. A Lancashire man’s Christmas arrived early after he scooped £1 million on the National Lottery EuroMillions Millionaire Maker.
Record Prizes and Looking Forward
In June 2025, a EuroMillions player in Munster scooped €250 million, the highest ever won in Ireland. The maximum jackpot of €250 million was reached on 13 June 2025. These extraordinary sums demonstrate the lottery’s potential to create generational wealth.
For players, the excitement continues with each draw offering fresh opportunities. All prizes in the UK are valid for 180 days after the draw date. Whether playing for fun or dreaming of life-changing wealth, the National Lottery EuroMillions remains one of Europe’s most popular gaming experiences, with millions of participants hoping their numbers will come up in the next draw.
