A Night of Fortune: 10 UK Players to Become Millionaires on January 16th

In the world of lottery, every draw holds the potential to change lives forever. On one such upcoming night, the 16th of January, fortune will definitely favor not one, but ten UK players in the EuroMillions draw. These lucky individuals are guaranteed to join the millionaire's club, courtesy of a special edition of the Millionaire Maker. Adding to this excitement is an impressive jackpot of £66 million (€77 million) waiting to be won!

A Touch of Extra Luck

For those who might be unfamiliar, the Millionaire Maker is a game that comes as part and parcel of every EuroMillions ticket purchased in the UK. It provides an extra layer of opportunity for players to win big. In this special edition draw, there will be ten prizes of £1 million each, offering an additional chance at becoming a millionaire beyond the main draw.

This is not the first time such a unique opportunity has been presented to lottery enthusiasts. Just a few weeks prior, on the 2nd of January, another Millionaire Maker draw was held to ring in the year 2026 with style and prosperity.

No Jackpot Winners Yet in 2026

While claiming a raffle prize and a EuroMillions prize on the same night is not unheard of, this upcoming Friday's draw presents an extraordinary chance to bag a colossal jackpot amounting to £66 million (€77 million). This sum has been steadily accumulating, as no lucky player has managed to hit the jackpot yet this year.

The last time the jackpot was claimed was on the 26th of December, when a fortunate player from Spain walked away with €54 million (£47 million). This marked the final win of 2025, a year that was truly remarkable for EuroMillions players.

Looking back at the lottery's history, 2025 stands out as a momentous year that saw the three largest jackpots in the history of EuroMillions being paid out. As we move into 2026, an even more exciting year is anticipated, especially with several proposed changes to the game expected to come into effect in September.

So if you're feeling lucky and want to try your hand at becoming one of the ten guaranteed millionaires or perhaps even bag the massive jackpot, remember to mark your calendar for Friday, January 16th.
