Jackpot Stays Elusive as EuroMillions Results Roll Out
Friday nights are made for big EuroMillions dreams, and May 16, 2025, was no different. The draw, numbered 1,842, promised a staggering £127,273,727 jackpot—enough to turn anyone’s life upside down. But after the balls dropped at 8:00 PM GMT, not a single ticket matched all five main numbers (EuroMillions fans, memorize these for luck: 06, 09, 25, 37, 46) along with Lucky Stars 06 and 12. That means the jackpot keeps rolling, setting up for an even more tantalizing prize in the next draw on May 20.
Plenty of hopefuls still walked away with smiles—and some cash to show for it. Across the main draw, 4,829 tickets snagged prizes, ranging from modest boosts to sizable windfalls.
Breaking Down the Prizes, Millionaire Maker, and Irish Raffle
So, where did all those winnings go? Here’s a quick look at who scored what on this draw:
- No one nailed all five + two Lucky Stars for the massive jackpot.
- The Match 5 category usually sets up a shot at a million; unfortunately, zero players matched that tier Friday.
- Three tickets matched four numbers, netting their holders £30,000 apiece—a rare but sweet payday for each.
- Seventy-two lucky tickets caught three correct numbers and both Lucky Stars, picking up a crisp £1,500 each.
- For matching just two numbers, 1,883 people still collected £100—the type of win that puts a few pizzas on the table.
- Even 2,871 tickets with only one correct number managed a small win of £10. Sometimes, you just need a little bonus to keep your hopes high for the next draw.
The overall prize pool added up to £415,010 across all these tiers, so even if the big jackpot rolled over, clever number picking paid off for plenty.
The UK Millionaire Maker never fails to create excitement. While the specific code wasn’t published for this draw, someone in the UK is £1 million richer, courtesy of the guaranteed prize. So, if you’re in the UK and bought a ticket, double-check your unique code—it could be your week.
In Ireland, the raffle draw delivered its own drama. A whopping €250,000 prize landed at Mc Hughes Stores in Dublin 12, with the winning code I-SCK-25765. On top of that, ten more ticket holders each scored €5,000 thanks to winning entries like I-SCD-98399 and I-SCK-42549. The country always brings its share of excitement for EuroMillions night.
For the lottery enthusiasts who track every detail, this draw used ball set 21 and machine 13. Winners should take note: the final date to claim any winnings is August 14, 2025. Nobody wants to miss out on a life-changing payout because of a lost or forgotten ticket.
