Huge EuroMillions Jackpot Rolls Over as Players Miss Out on Top Prize
Friday's EuroMillions draw on May 23, 2025, gave lottery fans the kind of heart-thumping excitement only a nine-figure jackpot can deliver. With EuroMillions offering a jaw-dropping £153,225,546 prize, dreams of ditching nine-to-fives and living large were very real. But, in a twist most ticket holders know all too well, nobody clinched all the winning numbers: 10, 29, 43, 46, 49, plus the Lucky Stars 07 and 12. The colossal jackpot rolls over, setting up another round of anticipation and wishful thinking next week.
The top-tier prize (matching all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars) went untouched, but some players still had life-changing moments. Four lucky individuals matched five numbers and just one Lucky Star, snagging €270,867.07 each. That’s enough for a couple of homes, or maybe that yacht you’ve had your eye on, especially if you budget carefully with today’s exchange rate. Ten more players got all five main numbers but missed the Lucky Stars, bagging €25,322.44 apiece—solid consolation, even if it’s not private-island money.
Prize Breakdown and UK Millionaire Maker
The winning didn’t stop there. Forty-three people matched four main numbers and two Lucky Stars, each walking away with €1,834.26. Then you have the folks who got 4+1, who scored €164.73 a pop (882 players), and 1,925 winners who matched 3+2, winning €79.79 each. The full breakdown carried on through all the prize tiers, with even matching two main numbers netting a small return—precisely €4.51 for the lowest division. While the six-figure prizes stole the spotlight, thousands of players went to bed happier than they started.
Let’s not forget the special UK-only Millionaire Maker raffle. This week’s code—MDQK77569—means one Brit is waking up £1 million richer overnight. Not a bad result for the price of a ticket. You don’t need to match any of the main numbers to win this twist: just the right code at the right time.
The event was as secure and official as ever, with machine 13 powering the draw and ball set 21 in play. Everything happened in front of an independent adjudicator to make sure things stayed above board. And with the lottery running across the UK and Isle of Man, you needed to be 18 or older and buying from within those locations to play. Responsible play is a big talking point—reminders and limit settings are always available for those getting caught up in the thrill.
Jackpot fever is nowhere near cooling down. With another rollover on the cards, next week’s EuroMillions is shaping up to be even more unmissable. For everyone holding onto their tickets (and hope), the ride continues.
