UK ticket wins EuroMillions jackpot reported at £111 million

Last updated

A UK ticket won the EuroMillions jackpot in the September 25 drawing, with operator Allwyn announcing a prize of roughly £111 million, The Independent reported.

The winning combination was 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49, with Lucky Stars 10 and 12. Matching those five main numbers and both stars secured the top prize.

A winning ticket, with personal details still undisclosed

The announcement established that the jackpot winning ticket was in the UK. It did not identify the holder or provide a town, shop or other precise purchase location.

A confirmed winning ticket and a completed prize claim are separate developments. The initial announcement reported the result and asked the holder to contact the operator; it did not establish that the money had already been collected.

That distinction matters when reading coverage of the win. The location of a ticket sale does not, by itself, establish where its owner lives, and an unnamed ticket holder should not be described as having chosen anonymity unless that decision has been confirmed.

The next advertised jackpot resets

The report put the following Tuesday’s jackpot at an estimated £14 million. That is the September 29 drawing, separate from the jackpot won on September 25.

The six figure and million pound amounts associated with other prize categories should also be kept separate from the main jackpot. UK EuroMillions entries include a Millionaire Maker code, but that raffle is not the five number and two star result that produced Friday’s headline win.

For ticket holders checking this drawing, the date is as important as the numbers: use the September 25 result and check the Lucky Stars as well as the main selection. Any later announcement about the holder or claim would add to the story without changing which combination won.
