€51,016,731 on the line: the winning numbers and every code you need
The EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 (Draw 1,855) landed a sizeable jackpot after sales pushed the prize to €51,016,731. The draw was held at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT), using ball set 20 and machine 14 under independent supervision.
Here are the winning numbers as drawn:
- Main numbers: 1, 17, 28, 32, 34
- Lucky Stars: 7, 8
It was not immediately announced whether any ticket matched all seven numbers to take the full jackpot. Verification normally takes place shortly after the machines stop, with national operators confirming winners once checks are finished.
In the UK, the Millionaire Maker code drawn was ZTFH 41326 — guaranteeing one ticket holder a tax-free £1 million. The UK’s Millionaire Maker is a separate raffle run alongside EuroMillions, creating at least one new millionaire per draw.
Irish players had extra shots at prizes through EuroMillions Plus, which produced the numbers 5, 9, 11, 29, 42. EuroMillions Plus offers fixed prizes, including a top tier of €500,000 for matching five numbers. Ireland also ran ten Ireland Only Raffle prizes worth €5,000 each, with the following winning codes:
- I-SJN-74531
- I-SJP-17439
- I-SJP-45973
- I-SJP-85410
- I-SJQ-62045
- I-SJR-52009
- I-SJS-14237
- I-SJS-30111
- I-SJS-39733
- I-SJS-45696
The draw took place under strict procedures, including an independent adjudicator and audited equipment logs. Ball sets and machines are rotated from draw to draw to keep the process transparent and secure.
EuroMillions is played across nine countries: the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, and Switzerland. Tickets are sold locally by each national lottery, and prize claims must follow that country’s rules.
Tuesday’s pot sat well below the record-breaking highs the game has reached in recent years, but €51 million is still life-changing money. Big rollover streaks tend to build later in a cycle; this week starts a new phase with Friday’s draw up next on July 4, 2025.
How to check, claim, and play safely
If you played, check your ticket carefully against the full results: the five main numbers, the two Lucky Stars, and any local raffle codes. For UK players, that includes the Millionaire Maker code. For Irish players, that means both EuroMillions Plus and the Ireland Only Raffle list above.
Claim windows vary by country. In Ireland, prizes from this draw must be claimed by September 29, 2025 (Ireland operates a 90-day deadline). In the UK, the standard period is 180 days from the draw date. Other countries have their own rules, so players should check their national lottery’s claim-by dates. If you bought a ticket online, smaller wins are usually credited automatically to your account; paper ticket holders should sign the back, keep it safe, and claim promptly.
Don’t forget the basics when claiming bigger prizes: bring valid ID, the winning ticket, and any requested forms to your lottery operator. For substantial wins, operators typically arrange private appointments to verify the ticket and discuss payout options.
Odds and prize tiers at a glance:
- Jackpot (5 + 2 Lucky Stars): approximately 1 in 139,838,160
- Any prize: roughly 1 in 13
- Standard EuroMillions has 13 prize tiers, with prize amounts varying by ticket sales and rollovers
- EuroMillions Plus (Ireland) pays fixed prizes, with €500,000 for matching 5 numbers
Taxes depend on where you live. In the UK and Ireland, lottery prizes are paid tax-free, though earnings from investing those winnings can be taxed. Some countries deduct tax at source, and others apply it above certain thresholds. If you’re looking at a life-changing sum, independent financial advice is worth arranging before you collect.
As for timing, independent checks follow every draw to validate outcomes and confirm if the jackpot was hit or must roll. When a jackpot isn’t won, funds roll into the next draw, swelling the top prize. When it is won, the jackpot resets to the base amount for the following draw, and the focus shifts to the winner verification process and any publicity choices.
The UK’s Thunderball draw — a separate game with a top prize of £500,000 — also takes place on EuroMillions nights. Results are posted by the National Lottery after the draw. Thunderball has different numbers, rules, and odds, so players should check those tickets independently.
Responsible play remains front and center. Operators offer tools like spending caps, session time-outs, and voluntary self-exclusion. The minimum age is 18 in participating countries, and you must be physically located in a participating jurisdiction to buy a ticket. If playing stops being fun, step back. The games are designed as entertainment with long odds.
What’s next? The next EuroMillions draw is scheduled for Friday, July 4, 2025. Ticket sales typically close shortly before the draw, both at retail and online. If Tuesday’s jackpot rolls, expect extra interest heading into the weekend. If it was won, the spotlight turns to the new millionaire(s) and how the prize will reset.
Practical checklist for players:
- Match your ticket to the full set of winning numbers: 1, 17, 28, 32, 34 and Lucky Stars 7, 8
- UK: check Millionaire Maker code ZTFH 41326
- Ireland: check EuroMillions Plus (5, 9, 11, 29, 42) and the 10 €5,000 raffle codes listed above
- Store paper tickets securely; sign the back
- Confirm claim deadlines in your country (Ireland’s is Sept 29, 2025 for this draw)
- Consider financial and legal advice for large wins before you claim
EuroMillions keeps its twice-weekly rhythm, pulling in players from nine countries for a shared prize pool and a shot at seven-number perfection. Whether the €51 million top prize found a home on Tuesday or carries into Friday, the process is the same: verifiable draws, audited machines, and a clear path for winners to claim what’s theirs.
