One fortunate ticket holder could be waking up to a staggering £36 million fortune after Tuesday night's EuroMillions draw. The massive jackpot, drawn on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, promises a truly life-altering win for a single player.
Tonight's Multi-Million Pound Draw
The main EuroMillions event took place at 8:45pm, with the numbers drawn for the enormous top prize. Alongside it, the Thunderball draw offered a separate chance to win a cool £500,000. Unlike the EuroMillions jackpot, the Thunderball top prize is not shared; a single matching ticket claims the entire half-million sum.
How to Play and Win
To participate in the EuroMillions draw, players pay £2.50 per line. They select five main numbers from a pool of 1 to 50, plus two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12. To secure the jackpot, a ticket must match all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars. Smaller, yet still significant, prizes are awarded for matching fewer numbers.
The Thunderball draw, which occurred at 8pm, provides another opportunity for a windfall. Players select five numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball from 1 to 14.
A Life-Changing Opportunity
A £36 million win represents more than just instant wealth; it's a complete financial transformation. The winner would have the means to secure their future, support loved ones, and fulfil dreams on a grand scale. Such a sum places the winner among the UK's biggest lottery winners, with the power to shape their legacy.
As the results are announced, thousands of players across the nation will be checking their tickets, hoping their chosen numbers align with fate. The National Lottery advises all players to check their tickets carefully and to sign the back of any winning slip immediately for security.
