EuroMillions reaches £201 million jackpot tonight

Tonight the EuroMillions draw could award an estimated £201 million before tax. It is the second draw of the week after the prize on Tuesday went unclaimed. Players pick five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12. The Thunderball game also takes place tonight with a top prize of £500,000 for matching five numbers plus Thunderball. Tickets cost £2.50 and include automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw.

Thunderball numbers drawn tonight are 7, 19, 25, 35, 37 and Thunderball 2. EuroMillions numbers drawn tonight are 13, 30, 35, 36, 40 with Lucky Stars 2 and 6. Allwyn, the operator behind the National Lottery, says winners go through a secure, confidential process and can access a range of emotional and financial guidance.

The appeal of huge jackpots is less about the money and more about the narrative of sudden mobility. A prize of this size creates a new context for life planning and risk taking, even as the very odds remind us that fortune remains a stranger.

The industry response with winners advisors signals a shift toward responsible play that acknowledges winners also face new pressures. For consumers, the draw keeps a weekly ritual that blends aspiration with bargaining power over debt, travel, and philanthropy.

Highlights

The draw keeps its promise of change while reminding us that luck remains a distant guest who rarely stays long.
