The EuroMillions lottery saw its jackpot of €41 million won by one lucky player on Friday, December 27, 2024. This massive amount was part of the regular draw organized by the Française des Jeux (FDJ) and attracted players from across Europe.
Participants were required to choose 5 numbers from 50 and 2 stars from 12 to have the chance of winning the jackpot. The winning combination for this draw was 12, 22, 27, 33, and 45, with the two lucky stars being 4 and 8. Remarkably, this draw saw not just one winner claiming the top prize but also several others who came incredibly close.
According to reports from the French National Lottery, four other players, including one from Belgium, earned €129,991.80 for matching five numbers and one star. Indeed, these players might be feeling the sting of missing out on the grand prize, potentially inciting thoughts of the one number they missed. "Un Français, tout comme quatre autres joueurs européens, auront de quoi se mordre les doigts, puisqu’ils passent à un numéro étoile du jackpot," remarked officials at the FDJ.
Every EuroMillions draw also includes the MyMillion game, where players can win €1 million by matching their code to one drawn randomly. This time, the MyMillion winning ticket bore the code KK 662 2144. The excitement continues as players can check their tickets online or on the FDJ app to see if they’ve won anything.
Looking forward, the next EuroMillions draw is set for Tuesday, December 31, where players will have the chance to win at least €17 million. "Le prochain tirage aura lieu le mardi 31 décembre, avec une mise de départ de 17 millions d’euros," FDJ announced, indicating the growing stakes.
Playing EuroMillions has never been easier. Participants can buy tickets at physical retail locations, through the official FDJ website, or by using the FDJ mobile application, available for both Android and iOS. The appeal of EuroMillions lies not only in the chance to win life-changing sums of money but also the thrill of participating and the anticipation leading up to each draw.
With draws taking place twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, millions across Europe eagerly await the results. Whether it’s underlining the thrill of possible winnings or the allure of joining millions of hopeful players, EuroMillions remains one of the most popular lottery games around.
For those considering playing, it's always important to gamble responsibly as playing games of chance can lead to potential risks, including financial loss and addiction. Players are encouraged to be aware of these aspects and use available resources for support if needed.
