The £83,474,081.80 jackpot prize from last Friday’s EuroMillions draw has yet to be claimed. Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, says the winning ticket was bought in person, rather than online.
People are being urged to check their tickets, either in store or by scanning their EuroMillions ticket via the National Lottery app, and then call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 in order to make their claim.
The winning EuroMillions numbers on Friday 24 January, 2025 were 2, 11, 19, 30, 49 and the Lucky Star numbers were 3 and 8. The lucky ticket-holder matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Star numbers to scoop the jackpot.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “I can’t believe there’s one lucky ticket-holder out there who hasn’t claimed this incredible EuroMillions jackpot prize – there are 83,474,081 reasons for them to check their ticket straight away.
“It’s only been six days since the EuroMillions draw but, we’re waiting with bated breath to pay out this latest huge winner. We’re urging all EuroMillions players to check their paper tickets to see if they are our missing multi-millionaire.
“This is our first EuroMillions UK jackpot winner of 2025, following on from an incredible 2024 which saw four UK EuroMillions jackpots won, including a £177M win by an anonymous single ticket-holder in November, which was the third largest-ever UK win.”
The biggest UK EuroMillions jackpot win of all time was an anonymous ticket-holder who banked £195,707,000 in July 2022. Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester hold second place on the list, and are the biggest-ever publicity winners with a £184,262,899.10 jackpot win in the EuroMillions draw on 10 May 2022. This £83.4M win comes nearly a year to the day after Richard and Debbie Nuttall from Lancashire shared the £123M jackpot prize in the draw on Tuesday 30 January 2024 with a winner in Spain, scooping the couple £61M.
With all major prizes (£50,000 and above) won in retail, approximately two weeks after the draw, if no valid claim has been received, the area in which the ticket was purchased is released. This area is provided by Allwyn’s security team in line with its licence obligations and is designed to encourage tickets to be checked but also to enable the ticket-holder to remain anonymous if they wish.
Once a ticket-holder has called Allwyn and their claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no information on whether this EuroMillions jackpot win is an individual or syndicate win unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.
Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk . Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you’re a winner.
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected]
