Overview
- The EuroMillions winning numbers published for the night were 7, 15, 16, 22 and 35 with Lucky Stars 4 and 6.
- The Thunderball winning numbers published for the same evening were 4, 23, 27, 35 and 39 with Thunderball 13.
- Some outlets advertised the EuroMillions jackpot as £41 million while others said £49 million, creating a clear reporting discrepancy.
- The draws were run in sequence with the Thunderball scheduled for 8pm and the EuroMillions around 8:45pm on Friday, October 16.
- UK players were automatically entered into the Millionaire Maker for a guaranteed £1 million code and the Thunderball top prize is £500,000 for matching five numbers plus the Thunderball, and the National Lottery operator should be consulted to confirm the jackpot and prize allocations.
