EuroMillions players across the UK and Europe are being urged to double-check their tickets following Tuesday night’s draw, which carried an estimated £150 million jackpot.

While the top prize remained out of reach for all entries, thousands of players still walked away with winnings ranging from modest payouts to six-figure sums.

The draw on June 9 once again highlighted the life-changing potential of the lottery, while also raising the familiar reminder that millions in prize money often goes unclaimed.

No Jackpot Winner as Millionaire Maker Guarantees Top Prize

Although no ticket matched the full jackpot combination of five numbers and two lucky stars, several players still secured significant wins.

The Millionaire Maker draw ensured at least one guaranteed UK millionaire, with the winning code confirmed as JRPN86253.

The absence of a jackpot winner means the £150 million top prize rolls over, keeping anticipation high for the next draw.

A wide range of prize tiers produced winners across the draw, with some categories paying out substantial amounts:

  • 5 numbers + 2 stars: 0 winners
  • 5 numbers + 1 star: 3 winners (£102,286.90 each)
  • 5 numbers + 0 stars: 4 winners (£15,937.40 each)
  • 4 numbers + 2 stars: 7 winners (£827.30 each)
  • 4 numbers + 1 star: 264 winners (£85 each)
  • 3 numbers + 2 stars: 698 winners (£33.70 each)
  • 4 numbers + 0 stars: 649 winners (£29.70 each)
  • 2 numbers + 2 stars: 10,378 winners (£8 each)
  • 3 numbers + 1 star: 14,583 winners (£6.40 each)
  • 3 numbers + 0 stars: 29,146 winners (£6.30 each)
  • 1 number + 2 stars: 53,939 winners (£3.80 each)
  • 2 numbers + 1 star: 206,700 winners (£3.20 each)
  • 2 numbers + 0 stars: 416,628 winners (£2.70 each)

The figures underline just how widely winnings are distributed, even when the headline jackpot goes unclaimed.

Thunderball Results Also Confirmed

Alongside EuroMillions, Tuesday night’s National Lottery Thunderball draw also took place.

The winning numbers were 01, 16, 29, 33, 39, with the Thunderball number 01 completing the combination.

Players holding matching tickets are being advised to check results carefully, as smaller draws continue to produce frequent wins.

Millions in Unclaimed Prize Money Still Sitting Idle

Despite regular winnings, lottery operators have confirmed that millions of pounds in EuroMillions prizes remain unclaimed or unverified.

If winners do not come forward within 180 days of a draw, the money is redirected to National Lottery good causes across the UK.

Several recent unclaimed or uncollected wins include:

  • £112,091 from a 5+1 Star match in Powys (12 December 2025)
  • £177,547.30 from a 5+1 Star match in Watford (16 January 2026)
  • £1,000,000 UK Millionaire Maker prize in Hartlepool (13 March 2026)
  • £1,000,000 UK Millionaire Maker prize in County Tyrone (24 April 2026)

Players Encouraged to Double-Check Old Tickets

With large sums still unclaimed and new draws taking place each week, officials continue to encourage players to review old and recent tickets carefully.

Even a forgotten slip of paper could turn out to be worth a life-changing amount, especially given the number of high-value prizes still waiting to be claimed.
