The National Lottery EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, May 12, carried a jackpot of £62 million, with players also entered automatically into the Millionaire Maker code draw. One entrant will receive the £1 million payout from that side game, while the main prize goes only to ticket holders who match all five main numbers and the two Lucky Stars.
The Thunderball draw on the same night produced winning numbers of 2, 3, 4, 14 and 19, with a top prize of £500,000. EuroMillions tickets cost £2.50 on draw days and are available until 7.30pm, with draws held every Tuesday and Friday. Thunderball runs four times a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, while Lotto takes place on Saturday and Wednesday and Set For Life on Monday and Thursday.
For anyone checking tickets after Tuesday’s draw, the difference between a life-changing return and another rollover comes down to a narrow set of numbers. EuroMillions offers the biggest headline prize, but the Millionaire Maker guarantee means even players who miss the jackpot can still have a shot at £1 million through the code printed with every entry.
The question now is whether Tuesday’s £62 million pool finds a winner before the next Friday draw, or rolls on and grows again. Either way, the next round arrives quickly, and the same rules apply: five main numbers, two Lucky Stars, and a ticket bought in time for the 7.30pm cutoff.
