The £50 million EuroMillions jackpot remained unclaimed following the draw on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. No ticket across participating European countries matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars. This marks the fifth consecutive draw without a top prize winner, pushing the jackpot even higher for the next event.
October 20 Draw Results and Winning Combinations
According to official results from the National Lottery, the winning combination for draw 1,991 on Tuesday, October 20, was 9, 15, 16, 37, and 43. The Lucky Stars were 7 and 10. While the main jackpot of approximately £49.6 million went unwon, hundreds of thousands of ticket holders across the UK and Europe secured prizes in lower tiers.
In the UK, one player matched five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £356,355.30. Additionally, the UK Millionaire Maker draw created another guaranteed millionaire with the winning code VPKN 2884 6.
Recent Rollover History
The October 20 stalemate follows a series of winless draws. In the previous draw on Friday, October 16, the £41.9 million top prize rolled over after numbers 7, 15, 16, 22, and 35-with Lucky Stars 4 and 6-failed to find a match. Consecutive rollovers steadily drive up public interest and total ticket sales across participating nations.
What to Expect in the Next Draw
Because no player claimed the top prize on Tuesday night, the EuroMillions jackpot has rolled over to Friday, October 23, 2026. Organizers estimate that the upcoming jackpot will climb to £59 million.
Alongside the headline prize, Friday’s special promotional draw will guarantee 10 UK millionaires through the UK Millionaire Maker feature. This offers multiple ways for players to win outside of the main ball matrix.
How to Check Your Tickets and Claim Prizes
Players who purchased physical or digital tickets for the October 20 draw should check their numbers via the official National Lottery website or mobile application. Important guidelines for participants include:
- Check Deadlines: Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim valid UK prizes. The claim deadline for the October 20 draw is Sunday, April 18, 2027.
- Protect Physical Tickets: The National Lottery recommends signing the back of physical paper tickets and storing them safely until claims are processed.
- Ticket Cut-Off: Sales for the upcoming Friday draw close at 7:30 PM on the evening of the draw, and entries must be finalized before this time to qualify.
The EuroMillions game spans nine European countries, including the UK, France, Spain, and Portugal. These nations share a unified prize pool funded directly by ticket sales. As the jackpot approaches the £60 million threshold, retail and online ticket sales are expected to accelerate ahead of Friday’s live draw.
