EuroMillions Jackpot Soars to £42 Million Tonight After No Top-Prize Winner Tuesday

Tuesday's EuroMillions drawing produced no top-prize winner; the winning numbers were 3, 33, 36, 45, 46 with Lucky Stars 5 and 6.
The next EuroMillions draw's jackpot is 55 million Swiss francs, as reported by Swiss lottery operator Swisslos.
EuroMillions can be played in 12 countries, including Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The Thunderball draw runs at 8pm and offers a fixed top prize of £500,000 for matching all five main numbers plus the Thunderball.
A UK ticket costs £2.50, and EuroMillions draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays; ticket purchases close around 7:30pm with the main draw around 8:30pm (Thunderball at 8pm).
A £42 million EuroMillions jackpot is up for grabs in Tuesday's draw on June 23, 2026, with ticket sales closing at 7:30pm and the main draw taking place at around 8:30pm Chronicle Live. To win, players must match all five main numbers plus two Lucky Stars — odds of 1 in 139,838,160 Mirror.
Every UK ticket costs £2.50 and automatically includes a Millionaire Maker code, guaranteeing one player a separate £1,000,000 prize The Sun. In Switzerland, the same jackpot is marketed as 55 million Swiss francs by national operator Swisslos, reflecting the game's reach across 12 countries.
The jackpot reached £42 million after no one matched all seven numbers in the previous draw Chronicle Live. The winning numbers that night were 3, 33, 36, 45, and 46, with Lucky Stars 5 and 6. All 12 participating countries came up empty, triggering the roll-over that set up tonight's prize.
Roll-overs like this typically push ticket sales up by 15–20% compared to a base £14 million jackpot. The jackpot can climb as high as €250 million before a cap forces a "roll down" to lower prize tiers. At £42 million, the draw sits at a sweet spot that drives strong public interest without yet hitting that ceiling.
EuroMillions draws happen every Tuesday and Friday. In the UK, tickets cost £2.50 each and sales close at 7:30pm Mirror. The Thunderball draw runs first at 8:00pm, offering a fixed top prize of £500,000 for matching five numbers plus the Thunderball. The main EuroMillions draw follows at around 8:30pm.
Odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 13 — far better than the jackpot odds. The Millionaire Maker code on every UK ticket gives one extra guaranteed winner per draw The Sun. Swiss players pay 3.50 CHF per ticket and face the same jackpot odds, but winnings over 1 million CHF are subject to withholding tax, unlike the UK where all prizes are tax-free.
EuroMillions launched in 2004 as a three-country venture between the UK, France, and Spain. It has since grown to 12 participating territories, including Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which play through Swisslos Head Topics. The draw itself is coordinated by Services aux Loteries en Europe (SLE), based in Paris.
Each country markets the jackpot in its own currency. The UK quotes £42 million, the Eurozone quotes roughly €50 million, and Switzerland quotes 55 million CHF — the same pot, three different numbers. About 28% of UK ticket revenue goes to Good Causes, covering arts, sports, and heritage projects. A high-jackpot week like this can generate over £30 million for those sectors alone.
GamCare has reminded players this week that "the 1 in 140 million odds remain the same regardless of the prize size." The group called for stronger responsible gambling messaging during the 8:00pm broadcast. Financial analysts at Hargreaves Lansdown have flagged concerns that big jackpots draw in lower-income households who spend a disproportionate share of earnings on tickets.
Still, public excitement is high. The #EuroMillions hashtag trended across social media all day Tuesday, with much of the buzz focused on the Millionaire Maker code Chronicle Live. Players see it as a more realistic shot at a prize — one guaranteed £1 million winner per draw, every time, no roll-over needed.
