British Queen celebrates

 

The winning numbers for the UK’s largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot have been announced.

Friday’s draw (13 June) featured a staggering top prize of £208 million — the biggest lottery jackpot in UK history if claimed by a single ticket-holder. The winning numbers are:

Main Numbers: 02, 28, 40, 43, 45
Lucky Stars: 03 and 07

Millionaire Maker Winners:
Thirteen new UK millionaires were created with the following codes:
ZNZP75021, TNBC30976, HNBR22291, HNBG00357, XNBL07259, VNZV56928, HNBZ00729, VNBF50450, MNBC35019, ZNBP60221, JNZZ66637, HNZR99573, HMZR34844

To win the jackpot, players must match all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars.

What happens if no one wins?

The EuroMillions jackpot is capped at €250 million (approximately £208 million). Once it hits this limit, the top prize remains fixed for up to four more draws. If still unclaimed, it must be won in the fifth draw — scheduled for 20 June.

If no one matches all seven numbers in that final draw, the entire prize fund will roll down to the next winning tier (most likely to those who match five numbers and one Lucky Star).

Bonus: luxury holidays

Players who purchased two or more lines online for Friday’s draw were also entered into a special promotion to win one of 13 luxury holidays to Thailand.
