EuroMillions Jackpot Soars to £34M: Tonight’s Winning Numbers & How to Play

Written by Published

What a week can do! If you’d tuned in to last Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw, the jackpot would have been a “mere” £14 million. Fast forward seven days, and tonight (Tuesday, September 16), that same prize pot has ballooned to a jaw-dropping £34 million. That’s an extra £20 million up for grabs—a difference that could change anyone’s life overnight.

For those hoping to hit it big, the path to riches is clear: you’ll need all five main numbers plus the two Lucky Stars. Tonight’s winning EuroMillions numbers are 1, 9, 13, 35, 40, with Lucky Stars 5 and 6.

But EuroMillions isn’t the only game keeping excitement high tonight. The Thunderball draw also happens, boasting a more modest—but still enticing—top prize of £500,000. For those chasing this smaller jackpot, tonight’s winning numbers are 8, 18, 20, 31, 33, with the Thunderball number 3.

And let’s not forget the Millionaire Maker feature in EuroMillions. Every ticket purchased automatically enters you into a separate draw, ensuring one guaranteed UK winner. Even if you don’t hit the main jackpot, this gives everyone a shot at instant millionaire status.

If you’re new to these games or haven’t played in a while, here’s how to get involved. EuroMillions draws happen twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Tickets cost £2.50 and can be purchased up until 7:30 pm on draw days. For more opportunities to win, you might also check out the Lotto draws every Wednesday and Saturday or Set For Life, which offers regular draws every Monday and Thursday.

Thunderball is another crowd favorite, with draws four nights a week: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. While the jackpot is smaller at £500,000, the odds of winning are more favorable, and many players find it an easier way to snag some extra cash.

Looking ahead, Wednesday’s Lotto game will feature a massive £8.4 million prize, giving players yet another chance to dream big. Whether it’s EuroMillions, Thunderball, or Lotto, the options to try your luck are plenty—making it an exciting week for anyone who likes to play.

A few fun extras for the curious: BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty actually uses a stage name, a detail many fans find fascinating. And if your home has a pesky fruit fly problem, you can repel them naturally with certain scents they detest—mint, for example, is one of their least favorite smells.

So, whether you’re in it for the EuroMillions jackpot, a Thunderball windfall, or the Millionaire Maker, tonight promises excitement for everyone who dares to dream big. And for those who missed out last week? Well, tonight’s £34 million prize might just make the wait worthwhile.
