A single UK ticket-holder has won a staggering £181,073,415.70 in the EuroMillions draw, making them one of the country's biggest ever lottery winners. The winning numbers were 12, 14, 27, 44, and 50, with Lucky Stars 04 and 12.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, confirmed the win as the largest of 2026 so far and the third biggest UK National Lottery win of all time. 'With that size fortune, this lucky winner would have wealth on a par with the likes of Adele,' he said, urging players to check their tickets carefully.
Another UK winner matched five main numbers plus one Lucky Star to win £355,164.90, while a third scooped £16,601.50 by matching all five main numbers. The record UK lottery win remains £195 million from July 2022, followed by Joe and Jess Thwaite's £184 million win in May 2022.
The latest winner joins a list of top EuroMillions jackpot recipients, including a £177 million winner from November 2024 and a £171.8 million winner from September 2022. Some past winners have invested in football clubs, set up charitable trusts, or purchased country estates.
