Lottery Player Becomes Second EuroMillions Jackpot Winner of 2025

In an encouraging turn of events, a lottery player has won the EuroMillions for the second time this year. The player matched the five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, turning this drawing into a life-changing event.

The Drawing: What Happened

Since EuroMillions launched in 2004, there have been 21 jackpot winners from one nation. As long as three years had passed without one until the €250 million win in June 2025 — and now this one too. Could it be a holiday-season miracle, or just plain old luck of the draw?

The winning numbers in Friday 12 December’s drawing were 7, 25, 30, 37, and 41. The Lucky Stars were 5 and 11. Amazingly, the winner had selected all seven numbers for their ticket. The end result is a gargantuan sum of €17 million.

Darragh O’Dwyer, spokesperson for the National Lottery, claims to be “delighted”, and that “This incredible win comes at a special time of year and is sure to be a huge holiday surprise for the winner.”

We don’t yet know the identity of the winner, but we do know that the winning ticket was bought at a retail shop in a specific location. More information is expected to follow, although jackpot winners have the right to remain anonymous, making it the winner’s decision whether to publicize the event or not. We will most definitely find out which shop it was, though!

As of the date of the drawing, the winner has until 12th March 2026 to make their claim.

Other Prizes

Aside from the jackpot, over 42,000 tickets won prizes. One very lucky lottery player from another location managed to win the EuroMillions Plus draw, which amounted to a nifty €500,000 by matching numbers 11, 16, 31, 35 and 38. A player in a different location won €30,745 by matching five numbers in the main draw.

Ten other players won €5,000 by playing the special raffle. Lottery officials are urging players to check their tickets to find out if they’ve won a prize. Remember, prizes can only go unclaimed for 90 days, after which they expire.

If it turns out you have won a prize, be sure to sign your ticket and keep it as safe as you would if it held enormous value. Lottery officials will be eager to guide you through the prize claiming process.
