EuroMillions Jackpot Hits €159 Million

The EuroMillions jackpot has surged to €159 million (£137 million) on the back of 12 consecutive rollovers. A Superdraw had initially been scheduled for Friday night, but will now take place at a later date.

Superdraws are held three or four times a year and offer a jackpot of €130 million (approximately £110 million). They are announced a few weeks in advance so that players can look forward to a specific date when there is guaranteed to be a big jackpot, without having to wait for a long run of rollovers.

However, in this instance the jackpot has superseded the advertised Superdraw amount on its own after a few weeks without a winner, so it will simply carry on growing. If someone had hit the jackpot on Tuesday, the €130 million Superdraw would have gone ahead.

The same thing happened last year when the summer Superdraw was effectively cancelled as the jackpot had already climbed higher, and eventually a ticket holder from Ireland snapped up a record-breaking €250 million.

There is a chance that history could now repeat itself, as the jackpot will keep rising until someone matches all the numbers or until it reaches its €250 million limit. At that point the jackpot is capped for a maximum of four draws, before it then must be won in the fifth draw at €250 million.

Big Wins in 2026

It has already been a year of big jackpots, and the current run marks the fourth time in a row that the top prize has passed €100 million without being won.

A Belgian player landed €123 million on 30th January to become the first jackpot winner of 2026, then a UK participant scooped £181 million (€209 million) on 10th March after the first Superdraw of the year a couple of weeks earlier.

The jackpot had built back up to €144 million (£125 million) by 21st April, when there was a rare triple-win. Two of the winning tickets were purchased in the UK (worth £41.8 million each), while the other belonged to someone from France (€48.1 million).

You now have another opportunity to win or share a nine-figure jackpot in the next draw on Friday, so make sure not to miss out! Pick up a ticket from an authorised retailer in any of the participating countries, or choose your numbers online.
