EuroMillions £184m jackpot is still up for grabs
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
As nobody won Tuesday night’s record £184 million EuroMillions jackpot, there will be another chance to win on Friday.
Such was the interest in the massive jackpot that a last-minute rush for tickets caused the National Lottery website and app to run more slowly, meaning some hopefuls were not able to buy a ticket at all.
The National Lottery said: “Sorry if you were unable to buy a ticket for tonight’s EuroMillions draw.
“This is the biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot, and there was a huge influx of players trying to buy a ticket before the cut-off time, and this caused the website and app to run slower than normal.”
EuroMillions 12 October 2021 results
No tickets across the nine European countries which play EuroMillions matched Tuesday’s numbers, which were 6, 13, 22, 45 and 49 plus the Lucky Stars 10 and 11.
On the EuroMillions website it says the odds of picking five numbers and the two Lucky Stars is one in 139,838,160.
The jackpot reached 220 million euros, at which point it is capped and cannot roll over again, after nobody won the £174 million EuroMillions jackpot on Friday.
It stays at that level for a further four draws if no-one claims the winnings.
It must be won in the fifth draw and if no ticket matches all the numbers it is shared among all those ticketholders at the next prize tier where there are winners. That could result in many new multimillionaires.
When is your next chance to win the EuroMillions jackpot?
The next chance to play the EuroMillions will be Friday, 15 October but you will need to buy your ticket before 7:30pm that day.
You can buy EuroMillions tickets online every day from 6am until 11pm, but on draw days (Tuesday and Friday) you will need to buy your ticket before 7.30pm.
To play online, visit the National Lottery website.
You can then fill in your ticket online. Pick five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12.
You can also opt for a Lucky Dip which will randomly pick numbers for you.
After that you select whether you want to play on Tuesday, Friday, or both days, and select how many weeks you want to play for.
You can play up to seven lines of numbers and buy up to ten plays at a time.
To do so you will need a National Lottery account, which requires an email address and address.
Each play costs £2.50.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “It’s all to play for on Friday night as the whopping EuroMillions jackpot of an estimated £184 million remains up for grabs.
“EuroMillions has now hit its cap, which means any money that would have gone into the jackpot will now boost prizes in the next winning prize tier.
“If one UK winner banks the lot, they would instantly become the UK’s biggest ever National Lottery winner. Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning this extraordinary prize.”
