A EuroMillions player in the UK has scooped the Valentine's Day jackpot, securing a life-changing £65 million in the draw. National Lottery operator Allwyn confirmed on February 14th, 2025, one ticket holder had matched the winning numbers, making this day unforgettable for the lucky winner.
The winning numbers were 4, 14, 31, 36, and 38, with the extra Lucky Star numbers being 3 and 10. This single ticket-holder now stands to drastically change their life with the massive win. “Wow, it’s not just 'love' that's in the air this Valentine's Day, it's 'luck' too!” exclaimed Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn. He added, “A single UK ticket holder has scooped tonight’s incredible £65M EuroMillions jackpot, and 14 UK players have won £1M each in the special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker event draw.”
But the excitement didn’t end there. Alongside the substantial jackpot, 14 additional players have secured their own fortunes, winning £1 million each. This massive win has left many contemplating what they might do with newfound wealth—perhaps quitting their jobs, jetting off on luxurious vacations, or purchasing homes previously deemed out of reach.
The Valentine's Day win was part of Allwyn's special offerings, which also included the opportunity for two to win luxury trips to the Maldives. Players who participated by playing two lines or more were automatically entered to win one of 14 all-inclusive seven-night stays at five-star hotels, featuring ocean suites with infinity pools and personal butlers. “Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are one of tonight’s lucky winners,” Mr. Carter stated, emphasizing the festive spirit embedded within this draw.
This staggering jackpot is reported to be £65,341,620.50, eleving the winner to instant millionaire status. Interestingly, earlier this year, another mystery winner claimed nearly £83 million from the January EuroMillions draw. That player held onto their winning ticket for 13 days before stepping forward to claim the prize—a delay which instigated a nationwide search by the National Lottery.
According to the Mirror, the latest win and the excitement around it demonstrate the unpredictable nature of lottery games. From supporting grand community projects to enabling players to fulfill their dreams, each draw contributes to both personal fortunes and public funds. Shockingly, last month, the UK saw its third-largest prize ever claimed with a ticket holder winning £177 million.
Allwyn confirmed the additional winners from Friday's Millionaire Maker Selection, increasing the tally of new millionaires among UK players. The winning codes for those participants included: MVXX07807, TTWX85392, ZTXH30125, and several other participants who added to the winning wave from the draw.
“Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win; it’s a way to contribute to something much bigger!” Mr. Carter continued, as he highlighted the remarkable work supported by players. Weekly contributions generate around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects, impacting various sectors including the arts, sports, community empowerment initiatives, and preservation of iconic British landmarks.
For anyone still puzzled by the EuroMillions results, the draw on Valentine’s Day confirmed the winning numbers of 04, 14, 31, 36, 38, with Lucky Stars 03 and 10. Many players now look to future draws with renewed hope, dreaming of the next big payday.
While £65 million is undoubtedly life-altering, it stands as another exciting chapter in the ever-unfolding story of the UK National Lottery and EuroMillions. With the potential for continual life-changing wins, participants remain ever hopeful for their shot at breaking the stereotype of 'only to be won by someone else.'
So, with Valentine's Day sprinkled with luck, many are watching closely—could you be next to win big? Those who believe they hold the magic ticket are eager to check their numbers and embrace the dreams associated with big lottery wins.
