EuroMillions Results: Winning Numbers for Friday 6 February
In the thrilling world of lotteries, few draws capture the imagination quite like EuroMillions. On Friday, 6 February 2024, players across the UK and Europe tuned in for the latest results, with a mouth-watering jackpot of £25 million on the line. This pan-European lottery, which includes participants from the UK, France, Spain, and more, promises life-changing prizes and additional perks like the UK Millionaire Maker draw. Whether you're a regular player or just dipping your toes into the lottery waters, here's everything you need to know about the outcomes, prizes, and what comes next.
The Winning EuroMillions Numbers
The moment of truth arrived during the live draw, broadcast from Paris. To secure the jackpot, players needed to match all five main numbers (drawn from 1 to 50) and both Lucky Stars (from 1 to 12). Drumroll, please—the winning numbers for 6 February are:
- Main numbers: 7, 15, 28, 34, 42
- Lucky Stars: 3, 9
Unfortunately, no single ticket matched all seven numbers, meaning the jackpot rolls over to the next draw, potentially swelling to even larger proportions. However, several players struck gold in lower tiers, with prizes ranging from modest wins to substantial sums. The full prize breakdown will be confirmed once all tickets are validated, but early reports suggest over 2 million winning tickets across Europe.
UK Millionaire Maker: Guaranteed £1 Million Winner
Every EuroMillions ticket purchased in the UK enters you into the exclusive Millionaire Maker raffle. This draw guarantees at least one £1 million winner per game. For 6 February, the winning code is HDWS 12345. If your ticket bears this code, congratulations—you're a millionaire! The National Lottery urges winners to check their tickets carefully and contact the official claims line promptly.
Thunderball Results: An Extra Chance to Win
As part of the EuroMillions package, UK players also get a free entry into the Thunderball draw, which offers prizes up to £500,000. The numbers drawn on this Friday evening were:
- Main numbers: 4, 14, 15, 21, 39
- Thunderball: 1
Matching all five main numbers plus the Thunderball nets the top prize, but even partial matches can yield rewards from £3 up to £5,000. Thousands of UK players walked away with smaller wins, adding to the excitement of the night. Thunderball draws are held every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, making it a popular add-on for lottery enthusiasts seeking frequent opportunities.
