£145M EuroMillions Jackpot Draw Delayed as Players Wait for Results
So, tonight was a big one for EuroMillions fans—Friday, August 1st brought with it a jaw-dropping £145 million jackpot, and as you'd expect, excitement was sky-high across the UK and Europe. But what should have been a thrilling night of hopeful anticipation turned into a bit of a waiting game, as players were left hanging due to unexpected delays in the results announcement.
Normally, the EuroMillions draw takes place around 8:30pm, with the Thunderball draw kicking things off earlier at about 8:00pm. But tonight? Well, things didn’t exactly go to plan. While the Thunderball numbers were drawn on time—those were 2, 9, 20, 23, 27, with the Thunderball being 13—the EuroMillions numbers didn’t come through until nearly an hour later than usual. Naturally, players took to social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), wondering what was going on and asking, “Where are the results?”
The National Lottery did respond, saying that the EuroMillions draw usually happens around 8:45pm, though even that time came and went. In reply to concerned players, their social media team admitted they weren't sure about the cause of the delay but reassured everyone the results would be up soon. And eventually, they were.

When the draw finally happened, the winning EuroMillions numbers for Friday, August 1st were: 4, 16, 25, 29, 30 , and the Lucky Stars were 2 and 10 .
Now, let’s talk stakes. To win the full jackpot, a player has to match all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars. But there are still other big prizes for those who get close. For example, five numbers plus one Lucky Star can land you around £130,000, and matching just five main numbers could win you over £13,000. Plus, there's the Millionaire Maker draw, which guarantees one UK player becomes a millionaire, no matter what the main numbers say.
If anyone did manage to match those winning numbers tonight, they’re about to see their life change in unimaginable ways. £145 million, tax-free—it’s hard to even wrap your head around that kind of money. Travel the world, quit your job, help family and friends, donate to causes you care about—it's all possible.
And for those who didn’t win? Well, there’s always Tuesday. The EuroMillions draw happens twice a week, and tickets cost £2.50, which also enters you into the Millionaire Maker. Just make sure you grab your ticket before 7:30pm on draw day.
So tonight might’ve had a slow start, but for one lucky player out there, the wait may just have been worth every second.
