3. UK Ticket Holder Wins £181M EuroMillions Jackpot

A lucky EuroMillions player landed £181 million in Tuesday’s eagerly anticipated draw, instantly making them the biggest winner of the year so far and the third-largest in UK history.

The winning numbers for 10th March were 12, 14, 27, 44 and 50, with Lucky Stars 4 and 12. Millions of ticket holders were rewarded with a prize, but only one matched the full line to pocket the whole jackpot.

In the UK, there were 774,801 prizes won altogether in the main draw. Another player matched the Millionaire Maker code MKXN 67490 to scoop £1 million. Head over to the EuroMillions Results page to find more draw information.

The big jackpot had been set up by a Superdraw on 20th February, when the top prize was boosted to £113 million (converted from €130 million). From there, the jackpot was allowed to roll over as normal, and it could even have gone on to reach €250 million (approximately £218 million).

It stopped just short of reaching its maximum, but still became one of the biggest prizes to have been seen in the 22 years since EuroMillions launched. Only two players in the UK have ever won more!

The latest winner can now look forward to a future of financial freedom, although they need to make sure they come forward to claim the jackpot within 180 days.

When’s The Next Superdraw?

As the EuroMillions jackpot resets to £14 million, many players will be wondering when the next Superdraw will take place. The date has not yet been announced, but the wait is unlikely to be too long!

Superdraws usually happen every few months, and for the past few years there has always been one scheduled in June. The nine participating national lotteries will convene to decide on a suitable date, based on when sufficient money is available in the reserve fund.

Lottery.co.uk will report the date of the Superdraw as soon as it has been announced. In the meantime, EuroMillions draws continue every Tuesday and Friday night. 

The next draw will also create 13 millionaires to mark Friday the 13th. Whether you’re a regular player or you only take part when there’s a special prize, don’t forget to check your tickets after the draw.
