The winning numbers in Friday’s EuroMillions have been revealed in the draw for the UK’s biggest ever lottery jackpot.
A record jackpot of £210m had been up for grabs in Friday’s draw if a single ticket-holder had managed to choose the winning numbers.
The winning numbers were announced as 20, 21, 29, 30, 35, while the Lucky Stars are 2 and 12. Players must correctly choose all seven numbers in order to win the jackpot.
However, it was announced later on Friday night that no winning tickets had been sold.
While the jackpot is now capped at £210m, any money in the next draw that would have gone into the jackpot will now boost prizes in the second tier, meaning multiple UK players could potentially bank large prizes for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.
In Friday’s draw, seven players won the second-tier prize, entitling them to winnings of more than £2m each. A total of 18 ticket-holders correctly chose the main five numbers without a Lucky Star, a feat which could see them collect more than £17,000.
Tuesday’s draw of £199m would also have been a record-breaking jackpot, but no one held a winning ticket then either, with the jackpot now up for grabs once again in four days’ time.
“A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery’s biggest wins list,” said Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn.
An anonymous UK ticket-holder won the existing record jackpot of £195m on 19 July 2022.
Just two months earlier Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on 10 May 2022.
The UK’s third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177m jackpot in the draw on 26 November last year, while the biggest this year was £83m in January.
According to National Lottery, the winning code in Friday’s Millionaire Maker Selection raffle – which is included in all EuroMillions tickets – was VLWS75031, with one ticketholder set to win the £1m prize.
In other National Lottery draws on Friday night, the Thunderball – which has a top prize of £500,000 – drew winning numbers of 3, 14, 31, 32, 34. The Thunderball is a 6.

The 40th time was the charm, apparently, when a Georgia ticket won the Mega Millions $980 million jackpot in a record prize for the state, closing out the longest non-jackpot dry spell in the game’s 23-year history.
The ticket, which improbably matched all six numbers (1, 8, 11, 12 and 57) plus the gold Mega Ball (7), was the eighth-largest prize since Mega Millions started in 2002, lottery officials said. Odds of that happening were 1 in 290.5 million.
Friday’s mega winner had not yet come forward as of Monday morning, so it was not known whether they would take an annuity or the pretax lump sum payment of about $452.2 million.
The Quik Pik ticket was bought at a Publix supermarket in Newnan, an approximately 46,000-population suburb about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta. The Publix will get $50,000, as per lottery protocol.
“Georgia is one of the founding members of Mega Millions, and this is the largest-ever Mega Millions jackpot won in the state, and its first since November 2016,” Mega Millions said in its media release.
The winnings eclipsed the state’s previous jackpot, a $478.2 million Powerball prize won in October 2024, the Georgia Lottery said.
“We are thrilled to congratulate the largest winner in our state’s history,” Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin said in a statement. “With every Mega Millions ticket sold in Georgia supporting HOPE and Pre-K, Georgia’s students and families are also big winners. We appreciate our players and retailers for their support of our mission.”
Lottery proceeds are used to fund education in the 45 states that participate in Mega Millions, plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A 33-year-old used an 8-week boot camp to land a 6-figure job in data science — here's how – Business Insider

(Jabarnia declined to share exact salary information for her current and past jobs, but Insider has verified her income.)<br>This past spring, she attended a data-science boot camp run by <a href="https://www.thedataincubator.com/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">The Data Incubator</a>. In July, just a few months after graduating from the training, she landed her current job as a data scientist at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterview/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Betterview</a>,&nbsp;where she now makes six figures a year.<br>Jabarnia, who lives in Austin, Texas, shared with Insider how taking an online boot camp helped her make a quick career change into a more lucrative role in a matter of months.<br>With a bachelor's in architectural engineering and a master's in architecture and urban design, Jabarnia was content in her role at DWG. But she also had a passion for coding.<br>In 2017, during a career sabbatical, she explored the free online coding programs <a href="https://codingcompetitions.withgoogle.com/codejam" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Code Jam</a> and <a href="https://www.codewars.com/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Codewars</a>. "I see myself as a problem solver, be it a design problem or a code challenge, so it only felt natural to slide back into coding like that," Jabarnia said.<br>When she went back to work, she said she missed using the coding part of her brain.&nbsp;<br>"I was lucky that DWG was a progressive company open to embracing parametric design and analytical anecdotes into the projects I was working on," she said.<br>The pandemic encouraged her to further reconsider her path and goals. "I was fortunate enough that I was able to take another sabbatical, where I looked at different career trajectories, from renovating fixer-uppers to data science — and the latter was the one that stuck," she said.<br>Jabarnia was drawn to the idea of a boot camp because she wanted to gain some formal training in data science but test the waters before deciding whether to go back to school full-time.<br>She said she sifted through the credentials of quite a few tech boot camps, including <a href="https://insightfellows.com/data-science" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Insight</a>, <a href="https://www.springboard.com/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Springboard</a>, <a href="https://www.galvanize.com/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">Galvanize</a>, and <a href="https://generalassemb.ly/" data-track-click="{&quot;click_type&quot;:&quot;other&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;outbound_click&quot;}" rel=" nofollow" target="_blank">General Assembly</a>. To help her visualize the pros and cons of each, she created a table and ranked each program based on what they offered, reviews, cost, and duration. She also searched for boot camp alumni on LinkedIn and kept track of where they landed afterward, then reached out to a few to ask what they thought of the course.<br>"This helped narrow down my list a lot, and after that, sitting in a couple of open houses was very helpful to make a decision for TDI," Jabarnia said.&nbsp;<br>The program she chose ran for eight weeks and cost $10,000.<br>"Right off the bat, I think I was one of the very few in class who did not have a Ph.D. or a background in a STEM field," she said. "The last time I had taken a class where math was involved was 15 years ago."&nbsp;<br>She said the class was fast-paced and required a full-time commitment, so after her sabbatical she left her position at DWG.<br>"We had two to three hours of class every day in the morning and then office hours, events, and group-work sessions planned in the afternoon," Jabarnia said.<br>She worked on her required "capstone" project after hours or on the weekend. "Focusing on the boot camp while working or studying and also applying for jobs required nothing short of exceptional abilities, and I know a couple of classmates were doing all that and taking care of their infant babies at the same time," she said.<br>She added she's grateful she was able to lean on her classmates for help.<br>"This was my first time taking a fully online course, so I was worried about connecting with people — but turned out finding friends in class meant we could suffer through what we didn't understand together and share what we had figured out," Jabarnia said.<br>During the course, the students used Zoom, WhatsApp, and texting to keep in touch.<br>"Maybe in the future we can figure out somewhere to meet. That is what we hope for at least," she said.<br>Jabarnia said she began applying for positions toward the end of the training.&nbsp;<br>"I focused on what mattered for me in a new career — the kind of work I wanted to be doing and the kind of people that I wanted to work with," she said. "With the right team and in the right position, bringing value to a company becomes only natural."<br>She received her first job offer for a data-scientist position while still enrolled at TDI. Though it paid well, she decided it wasn't a great fit and turned it down.&nbsp;<br>"I was very lucky to have found Betterview," Jabarnia said, adding that TDI has a list of hiring partners that it works with and that Betterview was one of them, so she was able to apply for the position through the boot camp.&nbsp;<br>She said her new position is everything that she wanted from a job "and even more."<br>"I was looking for a team that I would fit in well, where I could grow and bring value," Jabarnia said. "I also knew that I wanted to work in a field and for a company that I could be proud of my contribution to. The work environment is also very flexible, my teammates are some of the smartest people I've ever met, and the organization is very forward-thinking."<br>For those looking to follow a similar path, Jabarnia said to make sure you have the right reasons to make a career change. "Doing what you enjoy and are good at is an overlooked luxury that many times a higher salary won't compensate for," she said.<br>Jump to<br><br><a href="https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMimAFBVV95cUxOcEN5c2duNXQtZWZzVHp0RFJKbHdGY3B4Y0dXYTdpbWlTZ3VFMFNEZHdYUl92cXJsal9wUXl5Um1DMmw4NUNBWkFlUUNCLXk1VzlmdFJ1eDhIQzVWN1haUkdzU1I1emdRXzUxYjBYcFRlQ05BazQ4RXlyTEVxOGNlMHBuNXBSd1NfNlh0QlFTMUxCU3FLd1A0bA?oc=5">source</a>
