On Friday, a Euromillions jackpot of nearly €100 million was won by an unnamed individual in the United Kingdom. However, the winning ticket holder has yet to come forward and claim their impressive prize. Andy Carter, a winner's advisor from Allwyn—the UK operator of the national lottery—has urged participants to check their tickets promptly.
"This lucky winner marks the first Euromillions jackpot win in the UK for 2025. It's an incredible way to start the year," noted Carter. Interestingly, the UK has been on a streak with significant wins. Just last month, another UK ticket holder won approximately €140 million, which has catapulted them into wealth even surpassing that of pop sensation Dua Lipa, whose net worth is stated to be around €125 million.

The recent Friday draw did not see a winner for the second-tier prize of €28 million, which means the jackpot has now increased to €38 million. While no one claimed the top prize, one player abroad bagged the second prize of €662,510.15, and three others secured €51,613.17 each in third-tier prizes.
In Portugal, out of 28 fortunate players, three managed to collect the fourth-tier prize, earning €1,722.45 each. The winning combination for the draw consisted of the numbers 22, 30, 41, 44, and 49, along with the stars 2 and 7.
Participants are recommended to check official sources like the Jogos Santa Casa website for the accurate and updated results of the lottery draws.
