The Valentine's Day draw proved particularly fortunate for UK players, with 14 additional ticket-holders each winning £1m in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw.

The UK's largest ever EuroMillions prize was claimed in July 2022, when a ticket-holder who chose to remain unnamed won an incredible £195m.

The third-biggest win in EuroMillions history came in November 2024, with an anonymous ticket-holder securing £177m.

These recent successes have further cemented the UK's position as a lucky location for EuroMillions players, with multiple substantial wins in recent years.

In May 2022, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester made headlines when they won £184m with a Lucky Dip ticket, marking the second-highest UK EuroMillions win.

Other notable historical wins include Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Cambridgeshire, who won £148.6m in August 2012.

In July 2011, Colin and Chris Weir from North Ayrshire claimed £161.6m, adding to the UK's impressive list of major winners.

Currently, there are nine unclaimed EuroMillions prizes from UK ticket-holders, with the largest prize standing at £1m.

Players are encouraged to check their tickets to ensure they don't miss out on potential winnings.
