£6m share for UK jackpot winners

The £96 million-plus EuroMillions jackpot was shared between 16 winners from across Europe, with six lucky ticket-holders from the UK picking up a share of the top prize.

The winning main numbers were 17, 38, 28, 44 and 30 and the two lucky stars were 01 and 04.

Nobody matched all five main numbers and the two lucky stars, so the rollover jackpot rolled down to the next prize level.

The 16 winners who matched all five main numbers and one lucky star will each receive £6,462,181.30.

If a single ticketholder had scooped the jackpot it would have been the biggest payout of its kind in the world.

The winning tickets were purchased as follows: six from the UK, five from France, two from Switzerland, and one each from Austria, Belgium and Portugal.

A total of 32 people each picked up £56,931.50 for matching the five main numbers, and 277 won £4,697.80 for matching four main numbers and both lucky stars.

Next week's estimated EuroMillions jackpot is £11 million.
