The £42m EuroMillions jackpot will roll over to Friday after no ticket matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars in Tuesday night's draw. The winning numbers were 3, 33, 36, 45, 46 with Lucky Stars 5 and 6. Friday's estimated top prize now stands at £52m.
Despite the jackpot going unclaimed, one UK player became an instant millionaire through the Millionaire Maker draw, with the winning code JWQS79345.

The UK has a history of huge EuroMillions wins. In May 2022, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester became the UK's biggest-ever winners with £184m from a lucky dip ticket. That record was broken two months later when an anonymous winner claimed £195m. Other notable wins include £170m in October 2019, £123m in June 2019, and £117.1m in June 2023.
A Mirror poll of readers found that 76% would not go public if they won, while 4% said 'absolutely' and 20% would tell only close friends and family.
