A ticket holder from France became the third player in 2025 to win a EuroMillions jackpot of €250 million, equalling the records set in Ireland and Austria earlier in the year.
For the first time in the game’s history, the jackpot reached its maximum amount in two consecutive cycles. It grew all the way from its starting value of €17 million in June up to its €250 million cap over the course of two months. No more information was disclosed initially about the French winner.
One lucky Irish ticket holder scooped the biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot of €250 million on Tuesday 17th June 2025 after the Jackpot Cap had been hit a few draws prior on 6th June. Had the jackpot not been won in this draw, it would have rolled over to Friday to become a 'Must Be Won' draw.
It was the biggest win in Irish lottery history, far exceeding the previous record of €175 million which was won back in 2019.
The money was claimed anonymously by a family syndicate who bought the ticket in Cork. They said they kept the ticket hidden inside an A4 sheet, beneath a pile of folded laundry in the bedroom.
Austria celebrated its second record-breaking win in the space of 15 months after someone from the Alpine nation matched all the numbers in the first €250 million draw in EuroMillions history.
It was revealed that the lucky player had purchased four tips online for €10, and it was fourth of those that proved to be the winner.
The platform for the big jackpot had been set by a €130 million Superdraw on 7th March, and strong ticket sales quickly pushed it past the previous record just three weeks later.
A special Superdraw at the start of December 2023 boosted the jackpot to €200 million – rather than the usual €130 million - and a couple of rollovers later it had reached its then-limit of €240 million.
Out of all the tickets sold in Europe, a single player from Austria matched all the numbers. They had purchased their entry online, so there was no danger of them missing out on the prize. The jackpot was more than double the amount that had ever been won in Austria before.
The big win happened in the first draw at the jackpot cap, so it could have stayed at that value much closer to Christmas before it had to be won.
The EuroMillions jackpot reached its limit (at the time) of 230 million Euros ahead of the draw on Friday 8th July, where it remained until Tuesday 19th July when one lucky ticket sold in the UK scooped the entire prize.
The winner claimed their money quickly but no more information was released as they decided not to go public.
If the jackpot had not been won in this draw, a Must Be Won draw would have taken place in the subsequent draw.
EuroMillions set its third record in less than a year when a €220 million jackpot was won in October 2021, following a Superdraw in late September when the top prize got boosted to €130 million.
France celebrated another big win, but it soon emerged that the ticket had actually been purchased thousands of miles away on the Pacific island of Tahiti.
As it is part of French Polynesia, EuroMillions is available to lottery fans in the region, and this winner was a young woman who had never previously played the game. She said she wanted to travel the world and ‘discover the snow’ she hadn’t seen before. She said she would continue to walk in bare feet.
This jackpot set a new record for the biggest-ever win in the UK at the time, after soaring to €215 million (£184 million) in the space of just seven and a half weeks in the spring of 2022.
A €130 million Superdraw had been scheduled for late April, but it was effectively postponed as the top prize was already worth more. One more rollover would have pushed the jackpot to its €230 million cap, but a UK ticket holder matched all the numbers on 10th May.
The jackpot was claimed by Joe and Jess Thwaite of Gloucester. They revealed that they still went to work on the day they found out, and decided to go public because they did not want to ‘burden’ others with having to keep their secret.
This big win set a new national record for the largest jackpot ever to go to Portugal. It had been set up by a Superdraw a few weeks earlier on 7th June, with the jackpot then quickly moving past €200 million.
It was revealed shortly after the draw that the winning ticket was sold in Ramalde, in the district of Porto.
As major prizes in Portugal are subject to tax at a rate of 20 percent, the winner’s final payout amount was worth around €171 million, with €42.6 million going to the government.
The jackpot climbed past €200 million after a run of 14 consecutive rollovers, before a single ticket holder from the UK won the lot. It gave them a payout worth £177 million and made them the UK’s third-biggest winner.
The lucky player had 180 days from the draw date to come forward and claim their prize, but they wasted no time and staked their claim within the first 48 hours. It was later confirmed that the winner had decided to stay anonymous, so no more information was released about their identity or even where the ticket was sold.
Setting a new record for the biggest jackpot win in EuroMillions history at the time, a ticket holder from Switzerland scooped the entire capped top prize on Friday 26th February 2021.
The win came less than three months after the previous capped jackpot was won in France and, as a result, the maximum jackpot subsequently increased by €10 million for the next time it got hit, in line with the game rules.
Few details are known about the winner, other than the fact that they purchased their ticket online in German-speaking Switzerland. The lucky winner purchased two tickets at a total cost of CHF 7.00. The new record jackpot winner won more than 32.8 million times their original stake.
