National lottery results

National lottery results were updated across several popular games in late January 2026, with players checking lines from the UK’s Lotto and Thunderball, the pan-European EuroMillions draw, and South Africa’s PowerBall games. With jackpot sizes and rollover chatter often driving extra ticket sales, these midweek and weekend results can quickly become the reference point for anyone holding a ticket from the last few draw dates.

Winning numbers released for late-January draws

Here are the most recently published winning numbers covered in this roundup:

UK Lotto, Saturday, January 24, 2026: 01, 04, 08, 23, 34, 57; Bonus Ball 29
UK Thunderball, Saturday, January 24, 2026: 03, 15, 22, 29, 39; Thunderball 05
EuroMillions, Tuesday, January 27, 2026: 04, 23, 42, 43, 47; Lucky Stars 03, 09

UK Lotto and Thunderball: Jackpot chase and smaller-win format

The UK Lotto line from Saturday, January 24, 2026 featured six main numbers plus a bonus ball, which can matter for certain prize tiers depending on the game rules. That weekend draw sat against a steady drumbeat of midweek play, where many participants buy again if they miss a Saturday match.

Thunderball, by design, feels different even though it also revolves around a short list of numbers. Players pick five main numbers and a separate Thunderball, and the top prize structure can create a different kind of excitement than the bigger-jackpot games, especially for people who prefer more frequent smaller wins over long-shot rollovers.

Some specifics have not been publicly clarified.

EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus: Tuesday draw and add-on game

EuroMillions posted a Tuesday, January 27, 2026 line of five main numbers plus two Lucky Stars, a setup that concentrates the biggest payouts at the very top while still offering multiple lower tiers for partial matches. For many players, the Tuesday result is also a signal about momentum: a rollover can increase attention heading into the next draw.

Alongside that main draw, EuroMillions Plus produced its own five-number sequence for the same date. The Plus game is tracked separately, with its own prize structure and winners, which is why some players check two different sets of numbers even when both tickets were purchased in the same week.

How lottery results are validated and what players should do next

Lottery drawings generally follow a predictable pipeline: ticket sales close at a set cutoff, a regulated random draw produces the winning numbers, and then a validation process confirms the official result before prize tiers and claims are finalized. That last step matters because the official record is what governs payouts, even if many players see the numbers immediately after the draw.

The impact spreads beyond a single winner. Ticket-holders and syndicates are the most immediate group affected, since even a small match can turn into a meaningful payout when multiple tickets or shared pools are involved. Retailers and in-store sellers can feel a spike in foot traffic after big rollovers, while lottery-funded beneficiaries and community programs are indirectly affected over time because participation levels influence how much funding flows through the system.

For players, the practical next step is straightforward: match your numbers carefully in the correct format for your game, then follow the claim rules tied to your ticket type and prize level. In the days ahead, the next verifiable milestones are the scheduled draw events themselves, including UK Lotto on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 ET and EuroMillions on Friday, January 30, 2026 ET, with South Africa’s PowerBall also returning on Friday, January 30, 2026 ET. Prize breakdowns and any jackpot-winner confirmations typically follow once the post-draw checks are completed.
