A retired couple from North Yorkshire have won £1 million in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw.
A retired couple from a village near Thirsk have won £1 million in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on 1 September 2026. The pair have chosen to remain anonymous. They plan to use the windfall to help support their children and grandchildren.
The husband entered the EuroMillions draw after his wife had a strong feeling he would win a prize, despite usually only playing Lotto HotPicks. That single line, combined with the UK Millionaire Maker code, made them millionaires.
The winner said: 'We still can't quite believe it. All we want to do now is help the kids and grandkids for the future, and knowing we can do that means everything to us.' Abbie Suddick, winners' advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: 'Congratulations to our lucky Yorkshire winners. What a wonderful example of trusting your instincts.'
