EuroMillions rolls over for record 19th time – with prize now capped

The longest-ever EuroMillions rollover streak continued as no one won the jackpot for the 19th time in a row.

While no one scooped the £167m (€190m), three players got large prizes, including one UK winner who picked up £3.6m.

The jackpot figure is now capped.

The main winning numbers were 02, 33, 42, 47 and 48 with the lucky star numbers of 1 and 2.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “The EuroMillions jackpot rolls on to Friday when the huge £167m jackpot is up for grabs.

“A single winner would be the biggest winner this country has ever seen. Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of banking a life-changing prize.

“As the jackpot is now capped, tonight’s draw has seen three players bank bigger prizes for matching five numbers and just one Lucky Star.

“By buying a ticket for EuroMillions or any other National Lottery game, every player is helping to raise money for good causes.

“On average, around £30m is raised every week for projects across the UK, both big and small, including funding everything from local community projects to supporting the nation’s athletes.”
