EuroMillions Draw Sees 52 Million Euro Jackpot On April 18

On Friday, April 18, 2025, players across Europe eagerly anticipated the EuroMillions lottery, which featured a staggering jackpot of 52 million euros. The results of this highly awaited draw were revealed on TF1, captivating millions of viewers.

The EuroMillions, organized by the Française des Jeux (FDJ), is known for its substantial jackpots and draws held twice a week—on Tuesdays and Fridays. To participate, players select five numbers from a pool of 50 and two stars from a selection of 12, all for a ticket price of 2.50 euros. This week, the winning numbers were 20, 27, 35, 39, and 48, along with the complementary stars 3 and 8.

Unfortunately, no player managed to match all the winning numbers to claim the massive jackpot. However, the My Million game, which is linked to EuroMillions, provided some excitement as one lucky ticket holder won 1 million euros with the code RF 024 0852.

For those who didn't win the jackpot, there were still some notable payouts. Five players, including one from France, matched five numbers and one star, earning 134,387.60 euros each. Additionally, six players matched five numbers without the star, taking home 27,173.80 euros each.

The thrill of the EuroMillions lottery continues to draw in players, especially following a recent record-breaking draw on March 28, 2025, which featured a staggering 243 million euros. That draw saw an overwhelming number of participants, leading to delays in announcing the results due to high traffic on the consultation platforms. The jackpot was ultimately won in Austria.

As the EuroMillions game progresses, the next draw is set for Tuesday, April 22, 2025, with a new jackpot amounting to 63 million euros. This increase in the jackpot is typical, as prizes roll over when not claimed, and can reach a maximum cap of 250 million euros.

Players can purchase tickets online at fdj.fr, through the FDJ mobile app available on both Android and iOS, or at physical retail locations. The anticipation builds as players eagerly await the next opportunity to try their luck.

For those new to the game, it’s important to remember that while the EuroMillions offers the chance to win life-changing sums of money, it is ultimately a game of chance. Strategies such as choosing frequently drawn numbers can be tempting, but they do not guarantee success. The most frequently drawn number to date is 21, appearing 72 times, followed closely by 35 with 71 appearances.

As always, the FDJ reminds players to gamble responsibly. The legal age for participating in lottery games is 18, and resources are available for those who may struggle with gambling addiction. Players can contact the service at 09 74 75 13 13 for assistance.

With dreams of financial freedom and the allure of luxury vacations on the line, the EuroMillions continues to be a popular choice for many hoping to change their lives with a single ticket. As the next draw approaches, excitement is sure to mount, keeping players engaged and hopeful for their chance at the jackpot.
