EuroMillions winners announced as two UK-ticket holders bag share of £126m jackpot
Tonight's total Euromillions jackpot was £126 million.
Two UK ticket-holders have become multi-millionaire tonight, after winning Tuesday's Euromillions jackpot. National Lottery operator Allwyn announced on April 21, not long after the Euromillions draw happened, that two lucky UK-based players had won more than £41million each after guessing the five numbers plus two Lucky Stars.
The UK-ticket holders are splitting the huge jackpot with another player, who bought the ticket in France and also guessed the seven numbers that were drawn earlier tonight. The winning numbers were 13, 16, 29, 40 and 47 with the Lucky Star numbers 3 and 4.

Last month, a single UK ticket-holder managed to scoop the entire jackpot, winning more than £180m.
The latest Euromillions win means the next draw, which will take place on Friday, will see a much reduced - but still enticing - jackpot amounting to £14m
The Tuesday draw saw a total of five people winning the second-highest prize - including two people based in the UK, each winning £104,045.10
