A UK ticket holder has won Friday’s £111m EuroMillions jackpot after matching all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars. National Lottery operator Allwyn said the winner was the third UK jackpot winner this year. The identity of the ticket holder has not been disclosed.

A UK ticket holder has won Friday’s £111m EuroMillions jackpot, National Lottery operator Allwyn has confirmed. The winning player matched the five main numbers — 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49 — as well as the two Lucky Star numbers, 10 and 12. The winner’s identity has not been made public.

Allwyn’s senior winners’ adviser, Andy Carter, described the result as “fantastic news” for a UK EuroMillions player and said the prize was a “life-changing” sum. Carter urged people to check their tickets and contact the National Lottery if they believed they had won. The operator did not provide further details about the ticket or its holder.

The win is the third time a UK player has claimed the EuroMillions jackpot this year. On 10 March, a UK winner collected £181m, described in the source material as the third-largest prize in UK National Lottery history. In April, two UK-based winners shared a £125m jackpot with a player in France.

The largest EuroMillions prize won by a UK player remains £195m. That prize was claimed by an anonymous player in 2022. EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday across nine European countries.

Following Friday’s result, the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s draw is £14m.
