Malta Player Misses Out On €160,000,000 EuroMillions Jackpot By Just One Number

MALTA PLAYER MISSES OUT

• HOW CLOSE WAS HE?
• BIG JACKPOTS, PLAYED FROM MALTA
• GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
• COULD THIS FRIDAY MAKE HISTORY?

To win the EuroMillions jackpot, players must correctly match five main numbers from 1–50 and two Lucky Stars between 1–12.

Last Friday’s winning combination was:

14 – 24 – 27 – 39 – 42 + Lucky Stars 6 and 10

Incredibly, he matched all five main numbers and one of the two Lucky Stars, missing the massive jackpot by just one number.

HOW CLOSE WAS HE?

The odds of him matching all five main numbers and one Lucky Star alone is already extraordinary at 1 in 6,991,908.

What made it even more agonising is that he correctly guessed all five main numbers out of 50, falling short by just one of the two Lucky Stars drawn from only 12 possible numbers.

Out of the 2,904,804 prize winners last Friday, 14 other players also came just as close as him also guessing 5+1 numbers and sharing a collective second tier prize allocation of over €1 million.

• Austria (1)
• Belgium (2)
• France (5)
• Luxembourg & Switzerland (3)
• Portugal (1)
• Spain (1)
• United Kingdom (1)

For Malta, it was a moment that almost became national lottery history.

BIG JACKPOTS, PLAYED FROM MALTA

Lottoland allows players in Malta to bet on some of the world’s largest international jackpots without leaving the island, giving locals access to prizes that traditionally could only be played abroad.

Over the years, the company has paid out hundreds of millions in winnings worldwide, including a 64-year-old player from Gozo who won €750,177 while playing casino games a few months ago.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Beyond jackpots, Lottoland has earned multiple awards recognising its commitment to ESG initiatives and became the first iGaming company to be certified carbon neutral back in 2022.

The company maintains a longstanding partnership with the Wildlife Rescue Team in Malta, supports the three leading waterpolo teams, and operates a Win-Win Scratch Card where 20% of every ticket sold goes directly to the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.

COULD THIS FRIDAY MAKE HISTORY?

With no jackpot winner yet, the EuroMillions prize has now rolled over to an estimated €193,000,000 this Friday, 6^th of March – making it one of the largest jackpots of 2026.

New players from Malta can currently benefit from a 3-for-1 EuroMillions offer [Get 3 bets for €3] when registering an account with Lottoland via this promotional link.

After last week’s dramatic near miss, one question remains:
