Lottery players across the UK were on high alert on Tuesday evening as a staggering £35 million EuroMillions jackpot was drawn. The life-changing sum was the top prize in the draw held on December 23, 2025.
Tonight's Massive EuroMillions Prize Pool
EuroMillions fever gripped the nation once again with the colossal £35 million top prize tantalising hopeful participants. To secure the jackpot, players needed to correctly match five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. Tickets for the draw remained on sale until 7:30pm at a cost of £2.50 each.
Even for those who did not hit the jackpot, there were numerous other cash prizes available for matching fewer numbers. Furthermore, every single ticket purchased automatically entered the holder into the Millionaire Maker game, which guarantees one winner a £1,000,000 prize.
Thunderball Offers Fixed £500,000 Top Prize
Alongside the main EuroMillions event, a separate Thunderball draw also took place. This game offers players the chance to win a fixed top prize of £500,000. The rules of both national lottery games ensure that if multiple players match the winning numbers, they all receive the full prize amount; the jackpot is not split.
How to Check and What Comes Next
Participants are urged to check their tickets carefully against the officially published numbers. The draw marks another opportunity for a lucky individual or syndicate to join the ranks of the UK's lottery multi-millionaires. With such enormous sums at stake, the results are always eagerly anticipated, and winners are advised to follow the official procedures for claiming their prizes.
