It is the third time a UK ticket holder has won the top prize this year
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
A single UK ticket-holder has won the £26 million EuroMillions jackpot, The National Lottery revealed on Friday night.
It is the third time a UK ticket holder has won the top prize this year.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “What a fantastic night for EuroMillions players, as a single UK ticket-holder has scooped tonight’s £26M jackpot!
“That now makes it three UK EuroMillions jackpot wins so far this year, after one lucky ticket-holder won the £65 million jackpot on Valentine’s Day, and another lucky UK player won the £83 million jackpot in January.
“Players are now urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.”
The winning numbers for the Friday night draw were 06, 12, 18, 25, 41 with the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 06.
Mr Carter added: “Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win, it’s a way to contribute to something much bigger.
“Each week, players help generate around £30M for National Lottery-funded projects.
“With over £50 billion raised for good causes since launch, this funds hundreds of projects in every postcode area across the UK.
“From supporting the arts and sport sectors, to empowering local community groups and preserving iconic British landmarks, players’ participation makes a difference every single day.”
The winning Thunderball numbers on Friday were 07, 16, 26, 31, 37 and the Thunderball number was 01.
