Imagine waking up one morning worth more than Adele, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Radcliffe — combined.

That’s now the surreal reality for one incredibly lucky EuroMillions ticket holder in Ireland, who just scooped a jaw-dropping £208 million.

Not only is it the biggest EuroMillions win ever, but it also places the mystery winner’s net worth above some of the biggest celebrities on the planet.

A Life-Changing Win That Hits the Record Books

This isn’t just any lottery win — this is history-making.

For the first time, the EuroMillions jackpot reached its cap of €250 million (roughly £208 million) and was won outright.

That means one ticket in Ireland matched all the winning numbers and claimed every cent of the grand prize.

And thanks to Ireland’s lottery rules, the winner has the option to stay completely anonymous.

So far, no one has stepped forward publicly, and the suspense is building.

Celebrities the Winner Just Surpassed in Wealth

With this fortune, the ticket holder is now wealthier than:

Adele (£195 million)
Dua Lipa (£115 million)
Anthony Joshua (£195 million)
Daniel Radcliffe (£100 million)
Harry Kane (£75 million)
Andy Murray (£110 million)

The only one still ahead? Harry Styles, reportedly worth £225 million. But even then, it’s close.

Enough Cash to Buy Neymar or a Private Island

To put the size of the win into perspective — this person could technically buy Brazilian footballer Neymar, who was transferred for €222 million in 2017.

Or if football isn’t their thing, they could snap up one of the world’s priciest private homes, a $200 million mansion on the Caribbean island of Mustique, complete with nine buildings, ocean views, and every luxury under the sun.

Or maybe they’d prefer a quieter life rubbing shoulders with billionaires like Jeff Bezos on an exclusive island off the coast of Florida.

The Lucky Numbers That Changed Everything

Tuesday night’s winning EuroMillions numbers were:
13, 22, 23, 44, 49
And the Lucky Stars: 03 and 05

The jackpot had been rolling over for several weeks, causing a frenzy across Europe.

This was the fifth draw since the pot hit its maximum limit, which meant it had to be won this time — and one person in Ireland timed it just right.

Big Wins Continue for UK Players Too

Meanwhile, in the UK, someone else had reason to celebrate.

A British player won £1 million through the Millionaire Maker raffle.

The winning code? XPCD66044. Every EuroMillions ticket bought in the UK is automatically entered into this draw.

As for the Thunderball draw, the winning numbers were:
02, 06, 12, 17, 39 and the Thunderball: 07
Though no one won the top prize of £500,000, over 106,000 players won smaller prizes, sharing more than £586,000.

A Heartfelt Discovery From a Son After His Mother’s Death

In a touching side story, Liam Carter, 34, from Aberdeen, found an old lottery ticket in his late mother’s kitchen drawer — and it turned out to be a winner.

Anne Carter, who passed away aged 67, had written “Sat draw – don’t forget!” on an envelope containing the ticket.

When Liam scanned it, he was shocked to learn his mum had matched five numbers, winning £18,403.

“I nearly ignored it,” he said. “But something told me to check.”

The Countdown to Claim Has Begun

For anyone still clutching a EuroMillions ticket from the June 17 draw, there’s a deadline.

UK winners have 180 days to claim — meaning tickets must be redeemed by Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Lottery officials are urging people to double-check their tickets, as thousands of smaller prizes remain unclaimed.

A Big Year for EuroMillions Across Europe

This new Irish win tops the previous record set in July 2022 when an anonymous UK player won £195 million.

That same year, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester made headlines after scooping £184 million — one of the few big winners to go public.

In December 2024, another UK player grabbed £177 million, and earlier this year, someone else in the UK took home £83 million.

A Billionaire in the Making

Whether they spend it on footballers, private jets, or quiet luxury — the anonymous Irish winner is now among the wealthiest people in Europe, without ever stepping onto a stage or into a stadium.

One lucky ticket has officially rewritten someone’s entire life.
