What do the National Lottery EuroMillions jackpot results show after one UK ticket won £111m, and what should London players check now

National Lottery EuroMillions jackpot results from Friday, 25 September 2026, have produced a single £111 million UK winner after one ticket matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars. The winning EuroMillions numbers were 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49, with Lucky Stars 10 and 12, according to National Lottery operator Allwyn. The identity of the ticket-holder, the part of the UK where the ticket was bought and whether the entry was purchased online or in a shop have not yet been confirmed, The WP Times reports.

The win is the third EuroMillions jackpot claimed by UK-based players in 2026. It follows a £181 million jackpot won by one UK ticket-holder on 10 March and a £125 million jackpot on 21 April that was shared between two UK winners and one player in France. For people in London, Westminster and elsewhere who entered Friday’s draw, the immediate point is straightforward: the winning location remains unknown, so tickets still need to be checked rather than ruled out by geography.

EuroMillions results for Friday 25 September 2026

One UK entry matched the full combination required for the £111 million top prize. The five main numbers were 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49, while the two Lucky Stars were 10 and 12.

The £111 million figure was not the result of another ordinary rollover immediately before the draw. Allwyn had promoted 25 September as a EuroMillions special jackpot, confirming before ticket sales closed that £111 million was on offer.

Andy Carter, Allwyn’s senior winners’ adviser, described the result as the third UK EuroMillions jackpot success of the year.

“One lucky ticket-holder has won the life-changing £111m super jackpot prize.” (Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, after the EuroMillions draw on Friday, 25 September 2026.)

What the £111m UK EuroMillions winner needs to do

The jackpot has been won, but the publicly available information does not yet establish that the ticket has completed the validation and payment process. Allwyn has urged players to check their entries and make contact if their numbers match. For a prize of this size, a shop that sells National Lottery tickets cannot simply pay the winner across the counter. The National Lottery’s responsible-play information says its Winner Experience Team handles prizes of £50,000 or more, while official claim rules require draw-game prizes to be claimed within 180 days of the draw.

A player holding a physical ticket should keep the original secure while starting the claim process. Verification is required before any jackpot is paid, and a £111 million ticket would be treated as a high-value claim directly by Allwyn rather than through the ordinary retailer payment system. For Friday’s winner, the practical sequence is:

1. Check all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars against the 25 September result.
2. Keep a physical ticket secure and avoid damaging it.
3. Contact The National Lottery to begin the high-value claim process.
4. Complete the required ticket and identity validation with Allwyn.
5. Do not assume the prize has been formally secured until validation is complete.

“Be sure to check your tickets and get in touch if you think you might be tonight’s lucky winner.” (Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, following the 25 September draw.)

What London and Westminster players should check today

No announcement has identified London, Westminster, Pimlico, Victoria or any other location as the source of the winning ticket. That means there is currently no factual basis for claims that the £111 million entry was bought in the capital, or that it was bought elsewhere.

Anyone who entered the Friday EuroMillions draw should check the date printed on a retail ticket as well as the numbers. Players using a National Lottery online account or app should use their account record rather than relying on photographs or remembered selections.

The National Lottery states that players must be aged 18 or over and physically located in the UK or Isle of Man when playing its games. Its EuroMillions information also confirms that matching five main numbers and two Lucky Stars is the jackpot combination. For people checking a paper ticket around Westminster or central London, there is no reason to travel to the shop where it was purchased simply because the potential prize is large. A £111 million claim falls into Allwyn’s high-value process; the retailer is not responsible for paying such a jackpot.

How the £111m prize compares with other UK EuroMillions wins in 2026

Friday’s result adds a third UK jackpot event to the EuroMillions record for 2026. The first came on 10 March, when one UK ticket-holder won £181 million. On 21 April, two UK ticket-holders shared a £125 million jackpot with a French player, meaning the three winning tickets received portions of the same top prize.

The £111 million prize is below the largest EuroMillions amount ever won by a UK ticket-holder. That UK record remains £195 million, claimed by an anonymous winner in July 2022. Allwyn’s wider EuroMillions figures show how large draw sequences can become before a jackpot is won. In 2025, one roll series lasted 21 draws and ended when an Irish ticket-holder won a £208 million, or €250 million, jackpot on 17 June. Allwyn said that series generated more than £550 million in UK sales and £190 million for National Lottery Good Causes.

When is the next EuroMillions draw

The next EuroMillions draw is scheduled for Tuesday, 29 September 2026. After the £111 million jackpot was won on Friday, the estimated top prize for Tuesday reset to £14 million.

EuroMillions draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays. Friday’s result therefore closes the £111 million special jackpot event rather than carrying that amount into Tuesday’s draw. The jackpot winner does not need to wait for the next draw before contacting The National Lottery. The relevant entry is the one for Friday, 25 September, containing 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49 plus Lucky Stars 10 and 12. The result also means searches for euro millions results today or euromillions results Friday should be checked against the draw date. Lottery numbers from another Tuesday or Friday do not apply to the £111 million winning entry.

What has not yet been confirmed about the EuroMillions winner

Allwyn has confirmed that the jackpot-winning ticket is a UK entry, but several details remain undisclosed. There is no confirmed name for the winner, no confirmed town or region, and no public confirmation of the retailer involved. It has also not been announced whether the ticket was bought in a shop or through a National Lottery digital account. Until Allwyn releases further information, reports attaching the winning ticket to London or any other specific place would go beyond the confirmed facts. Whether the winner eventually becomes publicly known will also depend on the information released after the claim and validation process. Previous large UK lottery prizes have included both named winners and ticket-holders who remained anonymous.

The confirmed position on Saturday, 26 September, is limited but clear: one UK ticket matched 11, 12, 15, 38 and 49 with Lucky Stars 10 and 12, winning the £111 million EuroMillions jackpot from Friday night.
