On Tuesday, 9 December 2025, EuroMillions created a huge life change for one player from Belgium. A single ticket matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars to take a jackpot of around £125 million, about €142.4 million. This draw was numbered 1901 and took place in the usual Tuesday evening slot. More than two million tickets across Europe also received lower‑tier prizes
Who Won the EuroMillions Jackpot
A single ticket sold in Belgium matched the full combination of five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. Official results show exactly one entry reached the top level from that country on 9 December 2025. No other countries had tickets that matched all seven numbers in draw 1901. The full around £125 million amount went entirely to this Belgian ticket
EuroMillions Jackpot Payout Options
EuroMillions countries like Belgium pay large prizes as a single lump sum, not as an annuity split over many years. In most participating countries the prize itself is paid without direct income tax at payout, although a few (such as Spain, Portugal or Switzerland) apply local taxes. The player receives the full approved amount after identity checks and standard security procedures. Any later income from investing the money can still be taxed under normal national tax rules
When is the Next EuroMillions Draw
EuroMillions holds draws every Tuesday and Friday at around 8:00 PM GMT (21:00 CET). After the 9 December Tuesday draw, the next one is Friday 12 December 2025. Tickets must be bought before the cutoff, usually 30 minutes before draw time in most countries. Results appear immediately after on official lottery websites across Europe
What is the Jackpot Amount for Next EuroMillions Draw
After the 9 December jackpot got taken, the next draw resets to the standard starting amount of €17 million. This is about £14.2 million at current exchange rates, ready to grow if no one matches all numbers. The Friday 12 December 2025 draw begins fresh with this base pot across all participating countries. Rollovers will quickly build it higher if the top prize goes unclaimed again.
Why EuroMillions So Popular
One of the reasons that EuroMillions is so popular in Europe is the size of the jackpots, but another is the simple nature of the game. What attracts players to EuroMillions is the possibility of winning life-changing sums of money, often ranging from tens to even hundreds of millions of pounds/dollars. Another appealing aspect of the game is that there are multiple prize levels in the EuroMillions, which means that even if players only match a few numbers, they can win money as well, and this keeps players interested.
