The excitement surrounding the EuroMillions and Thunderball draws reached new heights on Friday, December 6, 2024. With a massive jackpot up for grabs in the EuroMillions, many were hopeful that they would become overnight millionaires. Although no one clinched the top-tier reward, plenty of participants still found reasons to celebrate that evening.
The EuroMillions draw flaunted a staggering £33,484,744 jackpot. The winning numbers were 14, 25, 39, 44, 47, with Lucky Stars being 06 and 10. While no participant managed to match all numbers for the main jackpot, the draw was not without its winners. Seven lucky players successfully matched four numbers, each pocketing a tidy sum of £30,000. Additionally, 207 ticket holders who matched three numbers received £1,500 each, splitting a significant part of the prize pool. The UK Millionaire Maker code, TVND59979, also promised a life-changing experience for its holder.
On the same evening, the Thunderball draw presented a top prize of £500,000. The numbers drawn were 10, 11, 29, 30, and 32, with the Thunderball number being 14. Unfortunately, no one succeeded in matching all six numbers—leaving the top prize unclaimed. However, the excitement didn’t completely fade, as the draw awarded 19 players with £250 each for matching four numbers plus the Thunderball. Further down the prize ladder, 321 players who matched four numbers snagged £100 each. Altogether, over 88,793 winners emerged from the Thunderball draw, collectively taking home £511,581 in winnings.
While the big jackpots eluded participants this time, the various prize tiers ensured that many walked away with their spirits lifted and pockets a little heavier. The allure of the lottery remains strong, as players already eagerly await the next draw, dreaming of what could be theirs in the future.
