A Single Belgian Ticket Ends a Six-Draw Drought to Win the EUR 80 Million EuroMillions

It only took one line. In the EuroMillions draw on Friday, 3 July 2026, a single ticket sold in Belgium matched all five main numbers - 2, 12, 17, 25 and 39 - along with both Lucky Stars, 1 and 2. That perfect match was worth the entire top prize of EUR 80,220,498. And because just one ticket landed the full combination, the player does not share a cent of it: the whole jackpot is theirs.

The prize had been building for a while. Six draws had come and gone since anyone last claimed the EuroMillions top prize, nudging the jackpot past EUR 80 million by the time Friday's numbers were drawn in Paris. With the jackpot finally landed, the counter resets - the next EuroMillions draw rolls back to the guaranteed minimum of EUR 17 million.

For Belgium, it is becoming a habit. The July 3 win is the country's third EuroMillions jackpot of 2026 - and its second in under a month - capping a remarkable run for Belgian players in the pan-European game. EuroMillions is played across nine European countries, with a shared prize pool and twice-weekly draws on Tuesdays and Fridays.

EuroMillions is a European game, but you do not have to live in Europe to play. A licensed lottery courier buys an official ticket on your behalf for the same draw, then keeps it secure. Choose your five numbers and two Lucky Stars, pick a draw, and you are in.
