Ticket bought in UK wins £39 million EuroMillions jackpot in New Year's Day draw

A ticket bought in the UK has won Friday’s £39 million EuroMillions jackpot, Camelot said.

The January 1 draw revealed its numbers just before 10pm.

The winning EuroMillions numbers were 16, 28, 32, 44, 48 and lucky stars 01 and 09.

Camelot said the jackpot, which was worth £39 million, was won by a ticket which was purchased in the UK.

A winner has not yet come forward, reports PA.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What an amazing start to 2021 for UK EuroMillions players.

“One UK winner has scooped tonight’s entire £39 million EuroMillions jackpot and 10 lucky players have walked away with £1 million each in the special UK Millionaire Maker New Year’s Day event.”

Camelot is already hunting for five big winners yet to claim their festive fortunes, including two £1 million prizes.

The lucky ticket-holders scooped prizes in either the EuroMillions, Lotto or Set For Life draws over the Christmas period.

One was the winner of the £1,000,000 EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker prize in the Christmas Day draw.

At this stage all that can be revealed is that the missing winner bought their ticket in a National Lottery retailer, Camelot said.

There is also a £1 million UK Millionaire Maker prize from the December 29 EuroMillions draw to be claimed, while three £10,000-per-month for a year Set For Life prize winners whose luck came in on December 28 have not yet come forward.

Mr Carter said: “The draws have not long happened but now it’s a case of urging all National Lottery players to check their tickets.

“Imagine what winning one of these amazing prizes would mean – any one of them would certainly be one unforgettable late Christmas present.”

People can check their tickets at a local store, or they will get an email notification if they are a lucky winner who bought their ticket online.

Camelot said payouts to the five winning ticket-holders will add to the £4 billion handed out in prize money in 2020, which has created 391 new millionaires.
