On Friday, June 6, 2025, the National Lottery's EuroMillions jackpot reached a staggering £208 million, setting the stage for what could be the largest lottery prize ever won in the UK. The draw, eagerly anticipated across the country, featured the winning numbers 20, 21, 29, 30, and 35, with Lucky Stars 02 and 12. Despite the enormous prize on offer, no ticket-holder matched all seven numbers, leaving the jackpot unclaimed and rolling over to the next draw scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
This colossal jackpot not only breaks records but also promises to create a new chapter in the history of UK lottery winners. According to Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, "Tuesday sees the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs. A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list." Such a windfall would catapult the lucky winner into the league of the mega-wealthy, surpassing previous record holders like Adele and Dua Lipa in terms of lottery winnings.
The EuroMillions jackpot has a cap, meaning the prize cannot grow indefinitely. When no one wins the jackpot, as happened this past Friday, the prize money that would have increased the jackpot instead boosts the next prize tier. This means multiple UK players could soon be celebrating huge prizes for matching five main numbers plus one Lucky Star, with one participant already securing a £2.02 million prize by doing just that in the June 6 draw.
For those who matched five main numbers without the Lucky Star, the prize stood at £13,561.20, while matching five numbers and one Lucky Star awarded £130,554.30. Even the smallest prize, matching two main numbers, guarantees a £2.50 return, essentially covering the cost of a ticket. Additionally, every EuroMillions ticket automatically enters the UK Millionaire Maker draw, which guarantees at least one UK player a £1 million prize each week. The Millionaire Maker code VLWS75031 was the winning serial for the June 6 draw, creating another millionaire regardless of the main draw results.
In parallel with the EuroMillions draw, the Thunderball game offered a top prize of £500,000. The winning Thunderball numbers on June 6 were 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, with the Thunderball number 06. However, this jackpot went unclaimed as no player matched all six numbers, leaving that prize to roll over to future draws.
The EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday, with tickets costing £2.50 each and available until 7:30 PM on draw days. The Thunderball draw occurs four times a week—on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday—with a £500,000 top prize. The EuroMillions draw typically happens around 8:30 PM, preceded by the Thunderball draw at approximately 8:00 PM.
Historically, the UK has seen some extraordinary lottery wins. In May 2022, a Gloucester couple, Joe and Jess Thwaite, won £184.2 million, setting a then-record. Just two months later, an anonymous player claimed £195 million, raising the bar further. The current £208 million jackpot surpasses both, edging into uncharted territory for the National Lottery.
Previous recent wins include an £83 million jackpot in January and a £65 million prize in February 2025. Other notable victories include three winners of £1 million each in the Easter Lotto draw and a single ticket holder who claimed a £5.2 million jackpot in April. These wins, while life-changing, pale in comparison to the £208 million prize now awaiting a lucky victor.
With such a monumental prize on the line, excitement and anticipation are palpable across the UK. The potential winner could indulge in first-class living, pay off debts, travel the world, and generously support friends, family, and charitable causes. As the draw rolls over to Tuesday, June 10, the £208 million jackpot remains the largest prize ever offered by the National Lottery.
To participate, players must purchase their tickets by 7:30 PM on draw days, either online or at authorized retailers. The thrill of the chase is not limited to the jackpot; the tiered prize structure offers multiple opportunities to win significant sums, keeping hopes high for many.
Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, continues to encourage responsible play as the EuroMillions jackpot climbs to record heights. For those dreaming of a life transformed by sudden wealth, the coming Tuesday draw represents a rare and extraordinary chance to make that dream a reality.
