A lucky British player is waking up millions of pounds richer after Tuesday night's EuroMillions draw produced a massive jackpot winner. The life-changing top prize of £14 million was won on Tuesday 16 December 2025.
Winning Numbers for a Multi-Million Pound Fortune
To secure the enormous EuroMillions jackpot, a player needed to match all five main numbers plus the two Lucky Stars. The National Lottery has confirmed the crucial digits that made one UK ticket holder an instant multi-millionaire.
The winning EuroMillions numbers drawn were: 41, 14, 16, 44, 40. The vital Lucky Stars were: 2 and 10.
Every single EuroMillions ticket purchased in the UK also grants entry to the exclusive UK Millionaire Maker draw. This separate game guarantees at least one £1 million winner in every single draw, offering a second chance at a seven-figure sum even if the main jackpot is missed.
Thunderball Results for 16 December
Alongside the main EuroMillions draw, players also eagerly awaited the Thunderball results. This game offers a top prize of £500,000 for matching five main numbers and the Thunderball.
The Thunderball numbers for Tuesday night were: 1, 9, 13, 29, 34. The Thunderball itself was: 7.
What Happens Next for the Winners?
The identity of the new multi-millionaire remains a mystery for now. The winner or winners have 180 days from the draw date to come forward and claim their prize. Lottery officials will be waiting to guide the fortunate ticket holder through the process of securing their £14 million fortune.
Meanwhile, the search begins for the UK Millionaire Maker code holder, who has also won a guaranteed £1 million. Players are urged to check their tickets carefully, as the million-pound code could be lurking unnoticed.
These results serve as a thrilling reminder of the transformative power of the National Lottery. While the odds are long, Tuesday's draw proves that for one exceptionally lucky individual, the dream of staggering, life-altering wealth has just become a reality.
