Euromillions Results Today: Rollovers and Near-Misses Leave UK and Irish Players Reeling

Euromillions Results Today matter most to people who were one number away from life-changing jackpots in different countries — and to anyone who bought a ticket over the last few days. In the UK a £124 million EuroMillions jackpot went unclaimed, rolling into a larger prize for Friday, while in Ireland two players missed a separate €159, 922, 317 top prize by a single number and instead won modest payouts. Here's the part that matters for holders of winning or near-winning tickets.

Euromillions Results Today: who felt the biggest impact

UK players faced a major rollover after the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, left the advertised £124 million jackpot unclaimed and set the jackpot at £139 million for Friday, February 27, 2026. For many in Ireland, the shock came from a different draw: Friday night's EuroMillions jackpot of €159, 922, 317 also had no outright winner, but produced a high number of lower-tier payouts and several dramatic near-misses.

Draw numbers and key payouts (embedded details)

Two separate EuroMillions draws in the recent coverage produced different main-number sets and different outcomes:

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 (UK draw): Main numbers 10, 27, 40, 43, 47; Lucky Stars 6 and 10. No ticket matched all five main numbers plus both Lucky Stars, so the £124 million jackpot rolled over to a £139 million prize for Friday, February 27, 2026.
Friday night (Ireland draw): Main numbers 14, 24, 27, 39, 42; Lucky Stars 6 and 10. There was no outright winner of the €159, 922, 317 jackpot.

Separate Ireland-only and supplementary draws produced additional winning number sets:

EuroMillions Plus draw numbers: 6, 7, 10, 15, 27 (no winner of the €500, 000 top prize; 91 players won €2, 000 each by picking four of the five numbers).
Thunderball (UK) winning numbers: 7, 8, 11, 14, 19; Thunderball 13. The Thunderball top prize is £500, 000 for matching all five numbers plus the Thunderball.

Winners, near-misses and prize totals across jurisdictions

Outcomes diverged sharply between the UK and Ireland:

In the UK draw on February 24 a UK Millionaire Maker code — HFVG69795 — produced one guaranteed £1 million winner; every UK EuroMillions entry is automatically entered into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees one new millionaire each draw.
In Ireland, 103 players scooped wins in the thousands from Friday night's EuroMillions draw. Two Irish players matched four of five numbers plus both Lucky Stars and won €1, 015 each — effectively one number away from the jackpot — while the Ireland Only Raffle produced ten winners who each received €5, 000.
Across Ireland more broadly, in total more than 69, 000 players walked away with prizes in Friday night's EuroMillions and Plus draws.: "There was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot. In total, over 69, 000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games. " National Lottery bosses are appealing for everyone to check their numbers carefully.

Practical costs, schedules and claiming rules

Practical details that affect players’ next steps were also published: a EuroMillions ticket costs £2. 50. EuroMillions draws are held every Tuesday and Friday; Thunderball tickets are available for draws on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The Lotto game runs every Wednesday and Saturday, and Set For Life draws on Mondays and Thursdays. The Lotto jackpot for the upcoming Saturday stood at a £3. 8 million rollover.

Players in the UK have just under six months from the draw date to claim prizes. If a prize goes unclaimed after that period, the money is donated to community causes across the UK the National Lottery's community fund. Since its launch in 1994, the National Lotter — unclear in the provided context.

Winning the EuroMillions top prize requires matching all five main numbers plus both Lucky Stars; multiple draws showed that this remains elusive even with very large advertised jackpots.
Smaller guaranteed schemes and supplementary draws can still produce millionaires and thousands of smaller winners — a reminder that big rollovers do not erase lower-tier activity.
Two Irish players ending up with €1, 015 after matching four plus both Lucky Stars underlines how near-misses can produce only modest payouts relative to advertised jackpots.
Officials are urging ticket-holders to check numbers carefully and to be aware of claim windows and prize rules.

The real question now is whether the UK rollover to £139 million for Friday, February 27, 2026 will produce a new top-prize winner, or drive yet another headline-making roll. It's easy to overlook, but a guaranteed UK Millionaire Maker code means at least one UK ticket-holder becomes a millionaire regardless of the main-jackpot outcome.

What’s easy to miss is how many smaller winners a large headline jackpot still generates — tens of thousands of smaller prizes in Ireland alone were paid out on Friday night.

Writer's aside: These draws often produce both dramatic near-misses and a broad spread of lower-tier payouts; readers who hold tickets should check the exact numbers above and the stated claim periods before discarding any ticket.
