As of Tuesday 7 July 2026, the EuroMillions jackpot that had been advertised at £69 million for the Friday 3 July draw is no longer on the board — it was won. A single ticket bought in Belgium matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars, taking the top prize outright. Because the jackpot was won rather than rolled over, the UK's next EuroMillions draw, on Tuesday 7 July, starts again from the guaranteed minimum: an estimated £14 million.

That is the short version of what changed. Here is how the run played out, and what it means if you were holding a ticket for either draw.

From a £69m Friday to a clean reset

EuroMillions is a single pan-European draw shared across nine countries, including the UK, Ireland, France, Spain and Belgium. One set of balls, one set of winning numbers — only the currency and the local prize values differ from country to country. So when the 3 July jackpot was claimed, it was claimed for the whole draw, not for one national leg on its own.

Here is the sequence:

Friday 3 July 2026 (Draw 1960). The jackpot was advertised in the UK at £69 million. When the numbers were drawn, one ticket had matched everything.

The win landed in Belgium. According to Lottery.co.uk's result for Draw 1960, the single jackpot-winning ticket was bought in Belgium. The prize was the shared pan-European top tier — €80,220,498, or about £68.77 million (sterling value per Lottery.co.uk; euro figure per euro-millions.com).

The board reset for Tuesday. With the top prize gone, there is no rollover to carry forward. The estimated jackpot for the Tuesday 7 July draw is back to the EuroMillions minimum: £14 million in the UK, shown as €17 million on the euro side.

The UK leg also runs its own guaranteed raffle, Millionaire Maker, which hands one UK ticket-holder a flat £1 million every draw regardless of the main result. For 3 July, Lottery.co.uk lists the winning code as VBVX02939 — worth checking against any UK ticket you kept from Friday and confirming on the official National Lottery site, because it is a separate game printed on the same slip.

What it means for a UK player now

If you played on Friday, the job is simple. Check your own line against the main numbers 2, 12, 17, 25 and 39 and Lucky Stars 1 and 2, then check your raffle code against VBVX02939. The two are settled separately, and the lower prize tiers still pay out even though the jackpot itself went to Belgium.

If you are looking ahead to the Tuesday 7 July draw instead, the honest framing matters more than the headline number. A £14 million estimate is a large sum, but the odds of matching all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars are fixed at 1 in 139,838,160 whatever the jackpot happens to be that night — a reset jackpot is no easier to win than a rolled-over one. And every EuroMillions draw is independent. Friday's numbers, or any past pattern, tell you nothing about what the next machine will produce; there is no such thing as a number that is "due."

On tax, the short answer for a UK player: EuroMillions winnings are paid tax-free by The National Lottery, the UK operator run by Allwyn. That is general information rather than financial advice — for anything involving a large prize, the operator and a qualified professional are the people to speak to.
