The Biggest EuroMillions Winners in the UK
EuroMillions has created some of the largest single-ticket wins in British history, thanks to jackpots that can climb to €250 million. Here's a look at the record-breakers and how the prizes work.
The UK record
The largest UK EuroMillions win on record is over £195 million, landed by a single ticket holder in 2022 — one of the biggest lottery prizes ever seen in Europe. Several other UK winners have taken home nine-figure sums when the jackpot reached its cap.
Going public — or not
UK winners can choose complete anonymity; many record winners have stayed private, while others have gone public. There's no obligation either way, and the National Lottery offers winners support and advice before they decide.
Tax and the prize
Like all UK lottery wins, EuroMillions prizes are paid tax-free. Tax can apply later on interest the money earns or through inheritance, but the prize itself is yours in full. To understand your own chances, see EuroMillions odds and the EuroMillions prize breakdown.
