A EuroMillions draw took place on Friday, 7 August 2026, with an estimated jackpot of around £94 million. A Thunderball draw was held the same evening, according to reports, and the night's results were published by the National Lottery. EuroMillions is a transnational lottery played across several European countries. To win the jackpot, a player must match five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers. Players who buy a EuroMillions ticket in the UK are also entered into the UK Millionaire Maker, in which one player is guaranteed to win £1 million, according to reports. The draw was the latest in a busy summer for the lottery, following EuroMillions draws on 28 July and 4 August. Whether the £94 million jackpot was won on Friday night — and by whom — was not immediately confirmed. The winning numbers, and the identity of any jackpot or Millionaire Maker winner, had yet to be announced at the time of publication.
Friday's £94 million EuroMillions draw and the night's other results
An estimated £94 million was on the line when the EuroMillions draw took place on Friday, 7 August 2026. The nine-figure prize made it one of the larger jackpots of the summer, drawing players across the participating countries, including the United Kingdom.
The winning numbers for Friday's draw have not yet been confirmed, and it is not yet known whether the estimated £94 million jackpot was claimed or will roll over to the next draw. The identity of any winner is likewise unconfirmed at this stage.
Friday evening also saw a Thunderball draw, according to reports, with results published alongside the EuroMillions numbers in National Lottery coverage.
Separately, a Postcode Lottery draw brought wins to 20 streets, with postcodes in Sussex, Dorset and London among those celebrating. The date of that draw has not been confirmed.
Players checking their tickets are advised to consult official National Lottery channels for the verified results once they are published, as the numbers circulating in early coverage may be subject to confirmation.
How EuroMillions and the UK Millionaire Maker work
To win the EuroMillions jackpot, a player must match five main numbers drawn alongside two Lucky Star numbers. According to reports, the five main numbers are chosen from a pool of 1 to 50, while the two Lucky Stars come from a separate pool of 1 to 12. Matching all seven numbers is what it takes to claim the top prize.
UK players get an additional chance to win through the UK Millionaire Maker. Reports indicate that anyone who enters the EuroMillions draw is automatically entered into this supplementary game, which guarantees that one ticket holder will win £1 million alongside each draw. That means even on nights when the main jackpot rolls over without a winner, at least one UK player is still set to become a millionaire.

Two decades of the transnational lottery
EuroMillions began on 7 February 2004, when three national lottery operators joined forces: France's Française des Jeux, Spain's Loterías y Apuestas del Estado and the UK's Camelot group. The first draw followed less than a week later, held in Paris on 13 February 2004.
The game was built as a transnational lottery from the outset, pooling ticket sales across participating countries to generate jackpots far larger than any single national game could offer. To win the top prize, players must match five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers.
In the United Kingdom, the draws have been brought to viewers through the National Lottery Results, the television programme that broadcasts the drawing of the National Lottery.
