One lucky player has won the Euromillions jackpot for a life-changing sum of £157 million.
The ticketholder, from France, can claim £157 million (or 179 million euros) after they correctly selected the five winning numbers and two lucky stars. It remains unknown who won the lottery prize, or if they have yet come forward to collect the jackpot.
The winning combination was revealed by The National Lottery last night as: 5, 29, 33, 39, and 42. The Lucky Stars were: 3, and 9.
Already, the National Lottery has announced the £14 million jackpot for next Tuesday and a festive £105 million EuroMillions prize for next Friday.
Simon Horne from the National Lottery said: “Congratulations to the lucky French ticket holder who banked last night’s jackpot. Closer to home, one UK player won £1M in the UK Millionaire Maker, and we look forward to their claim.
“On Friday next week (5th) there is a special festive £105M EuroMillions jackpot up for grabs. Players across the UK could add even more sparkle to Christmas if they won at the start of December.”
The £157 million prize was one of the largest EuroMillions jackpots of the year so far, but the largest EuroMillions win ever in the UK stands at £195 million jackpot. Only 19 UK players have won prizes of more than £100m in its history.
When people win the lottery, a 180-day countdown starts from the day the numbers are drawn to claim their prize. After that time, all unclaimed money – and any interest earned – goes to the National Lottery Good Causes fund.
Patrick Lisoire, consumer communications manager at National Lottery operator Allwyn, told The Independent that people with paper tickets are less likely to claim their wins than online players.
He said: “It’s retail tickets that may go unclaimed because you buy a paper ticket, if you misplace it, if you don’t get around to checking it in time, although it is nearly 6 months, those tickets could expire.”
Online players are reminded repeatedly to check their login via phone and email, so people are more likely to claim them.

Donald Trump’s neighbors are fuming over a new no-fly zone over the president’s Mar-a-Lago estate that has indefinitely re-routed noisy planes above their homes. For most of the year, residents of Palm Beach, Florida, only experienced street closures and restrictions on boat and air travel when the president in town. But last month the Secret Service suddenly issued new flight restrictions that divert planes away from Mar-a-Lago—which is normally in the Palm Beach Airport’s flight path—and over
President Donald Trump walked into the Mar-a-Lago ballroom like a conquering hero to the rousing tune of “We Are the World.” No matter that it was an ’80s anthem urging help for victims of famine, of little import to Trump’s dissolution of USAID, and the untold suffering in the developing world it caused. All happening in a cheery, festive room, its tables piled with Thanksgiving food, much of it left uneaten.
