It is the first time this year that the jackpot has been won, having been building up since a Spanish player pocketed €54 million on 26th December.
The winning numbers for the draw on 30th January were 14, 18, 31, 35 and 46, with Lucky Stars 7 and 11. More than 2.1 million prizes were paid out altogether, and you can find all the draw information on the EuroMillions Results page.

What Next For The Winner?
In Belgium, EuroMillions prizes must be claimed within 20 weeks of the relevant draw date. The winner therefore has until 19th June to come forward and contact the Belgian National Lottery.
They can go public with their identity if they wish, but it is more likely that they will remain anonymous. A few details are usually released about big winners, and there have been several of those in Belgium of late.
Back in September, a Belgian player won the Superdraw jackpot of €130 million, before a compatriot landed €142.4 million in December. Following Friday’s success, the country has now celebrated three nine-figure payouts in the space of five months.
In total, Belgium has been the home of 48 jackpot wins since EuroMillions started in 2004. Head over to the Winner Statistics page to see where every nation ranks, as well as a lot more data.
Superdraw on the Horizon
The EuroMillions jackpot will now start again at €17 million in Tuesday’s draw, while there’s not long to wait until the first Superdraw of the year. It will take place on Friday 20th February and offer a top prize of €130 million.
In the meantime, you can play EuroMillions every Tuesday and Friday night by purchasing tickets from authorised retailers or choosing numbers online. Remember to check the results afterwards to find out if you are a winner. You might just follow in the footsteps of the Belgian winner and become the year’s next multimillionaire!
