The EuroMillions and Thunderball draws on February 21, 2025, made for an engaging night with thousands eagerly awaiting their fortunes. While the grand EuroMillions jackpot of €100 million went unclaimed, plenty of players walked away richer than before.
EuroMillions: Excitement in the Air
The EuroMillions numbers for the evening were **1, 3, 11, 20, 43**, accompanied by the Lucky Stars **2** and **11**. Even as the jackpot took a backseat this time, luck graced three players who managed to match five numbers and one Lucky Star, each pocketing a tidy sum of €213,502.50. It's still a life-changing win, right?
Apart from the main game, the UK Millionaire Maker raffle was supposed to make instant millionaires, although there were no updates on raffle codes in the available information. However, the HotPicks option did come through for many, with prizes ranging between £10 and £30,000 based on the numbers picked.
Over in Ireland, the EuroMillions Plus draw saw one gleeful winner taking home the impressive top prize of €500,000, proving yet again that the lottery does, indeed, change lives in an instant.
Thunderball: More Prizes to Celebrate
The Thunderball draw offered a contrasting spectacle. Despite no one claiming the £500,000 top prize, the numbers **3, 19, 21, 24, 37** along with the Thunderball **4**, still conjured smiles for many. A single participant matched five numbers, securing £5,000, not a small feat when the odds are against you.
Excitingly, more than 97,000 tickets were winners across the board, with prizes even for matching just the Thunderball on its own. All participating tickets combined for an energetic evening of suspense.
In terms of the gaming mechanics, those watching the draw might have noticed the familiar Excalibur 4 machine paired with ball set T2 for Thunderball, while the iconic EuroMillions devices continued their regular duties, making sure the wheels of fortune keep spinning smoothly.
While some chase after the mammoth jackpots, stories from these draws highlight how secondary prizes offer plenty of room for rejoicing. Winning is, after all, more than just hitting the top mark. It’s about savoring every small triumph along the way.
