UK (Cambridge Tribune) August 8, 2026 – The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers from Friday’s draw were 26, 29, 35, 38 and 47, with Lucky Stars 1 and 2. The draw offered a jackpot reported by UK news outlets as £94 million, while the corresponding European jackpot was reported by France’s FDJ as between €110 million and €111 million. The jackpot was won in the draw.

The result gives players the numbers needed to check tickets purchased for the Friday, August 7 EuroMillions draw. A separate Thunderball draw also took place, with winning numbers 4, 18, 28, 30 and 34 and Thunderball number 11.

What were the EuroMillions numbers?

The winning EuroMillions combination was:

• Main numbers: 26, 29, 35, 38 and 47.
• Lucky Stars: 1 and 2.

The same combination was reported by several UK news organisations and lottery-results websites covering the Friday night draw. The National Lottery results pages also listed the draw date as Friday, August 7, 2026.

Players must compare all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars with the numbers printed on their tickets. Matching only some of the numbers may still result in a prize, depending on the winning category, but the jackpot requires all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars.

The order in which the main numbers appear on a ticket does not generally determine whether a combination wins, although players should use the official result checker to confirm the outcome and prize category.

Was the £94 million jackpot won?

UK coverage published before and immediately after the draw described the EuroMillions jackpot as £94 million. The Manchester Evening News reported the £94 million figure alongside the winning combination, while ChronicleLive also described the jackpot as £94 million in its results report.

However, reports from European lottery sources used a euro value for the same draw. France’s official lottery operator FDJ described the draw as carrying a jackpot of €110 million and later stated that the jackpot had been won. French media reports placed the amount at approximately €111 million.

The difference appears to reflect the way the jackpot was displayed or updated in different markets and currencies rather than a different draw. The value shown to UK players is presented in pounds, while other participating countries report the jackpot in euros.

Available results information indicates that there was one top-tier jackpot winner across the EuroMillions draw. A separate results database listed one winner in the five-numbers-plus-two-stars category and seven winners in the five-numbers-plus-one-star category. Players should still check the official National Lottery prize breakdown for the final UK distribution.

The distinction is important for UK players. The headline jackpot is shared across participating EuroMillions countries, while the value shown to UK players is presented in pounds. Currency movements, publication timing and operator updates can therefore produce slightly different headline amounts in reports from Britain, France and other participating countries.

What were the Thunderball results?

The Thunderball numbers drawn on Friday were:

• Main numbers: 4, 18, 28, 30 and 34.
• Thunderball: 11.

ChronicleLive reported that the Thunderball draw took place at 8pm and carried a top prize of £500,000. The Independent also listed 4, 18, 28, 30 and 34 as the five Thunderball numbers and 11 as the Thunderball.

Thunderball is a separate National Lottery game from EuroMillions. A EuroMillions ticket cannot be checked against the Thunderball numbers, and a Thunderball ticket cannot win a EuroMillions prize. Players who bought entries for both draws should therefore check each ticket separately.

The publication of both results is useful because the two draws are held on the same evening but have different prize structures, draw times and number combinations. Reports from UK news organisations commonly place the Thunderball result before the EuroMillions result because the Thunderball draw is held earlier.

How can players check their tickets?

Players can check their EuroMillions and Thunderball entries through the official National Lottery website, the National Lottery app or a participating retailer. Official draw results should be treated as the final reference when there is a difference between media reports, third-party lottery websites or social media posts.

Online players may receive an automatic notification if their account is linked to the ticket. Those who bought a physical ticket should keep it safe and avoid sharing photographs that show the barcode or other identifying information.

A winning physical ticket should be signed on the reverse and stored securely. Players should contact the National Lottery through its official support channels if they believe they have won a significant prize or if a ticket has been damaged.

Several lottery-results websites published additional information, including prize breakdowns and Millionaire Maker details. However, these details were not consistently available across all reports. The official National Lottery result checker should therefore be used to confirm any Millionaire Maker or category-specific result.

What was the Millionaire Maker code?

The available results information contains conflicting details about the UK Millionaire Maker code. One results page listed TNXR 81195, while the French FDJ page for its separate My Million draw listed RZ 296 9256. These are different country-specific lottery codes and should not be treated as interchangeable.

For UK ticket holders, the relevant code is the one printed or published by the UK National Lottery for the UK draw. Because the supplied Cambridge News page could not be retrieved and the accessible UK sources did not provide a consistently verified code, players should check the code directly through the official National Lottery website or app.

This distinction also explains why results pages from different countries may contain different codes even though the five EuroMillions numbers and Lucky Stars are shared across participating markets. Each participating operator can run its own linked millionaire promotion alongside the common EuroMillions draw.

What did the supplied Cambridge News report say?

The supplied article was titled “National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers for Friday, August 7” and was published through the Cambridge News network. The page could not be retrieved during verification, and the available information did not provide the article’s full text or a confirmed byline.

Because the article text and author details were unavailable, it would not be responsible to attribute individual statements to a named journalist without confirmation. The confirmed numbers in this report have instead been compared with accessible coverage from the Manchester Evening News, ChronicleLive, The Independent and lottery-results websites.

The accessible reports agree on the central result: the numbers were 26, 29, 35, 38 and 47, and the Lucky Stars were 1 and 2. They also agree on the Thunderball numbers, although the presentation of the jackpot amount and additional prize information varies between UK and European sources.

When is the next EuroMillions draw?

The next EuroMillions draw was scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, 2026. EuroMillions draws are normally held twice each week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The next advertised jackpot amount may change depending on the number of winners in the August 7 draw and the rules governing the following prize fund. Players should check the National Lottery’s official listing for the confirmed jackpot before entering.

The result of the August 7 draw does not provide a prediction for the next combination. Each draw is separate, and previous numbers cannot reliably indicate which numbers will appear in a future draw.

Background: how does EuroMillions work?

EuroMillions is a multi-country lottery in which players select five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. The main numbers are selected from a pool of 1 to 50, while the Lucky Stars are selected from a separate pool of 1 to 12.

The game is drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays. Participating lottery operators publish the results for their own markets, which means that the shared winning numbers may appear alongside different currency values, national promotions and additional millionaire codes.

In the UK, EuroMillions is operated through the National Lottery. Players can buy entries online or through authorised retailers, subject to the applicable age and location rules. Winning tickets must be claimed within the relevant deadline, and the ticket or online account is required to validate a prize.

The advertised jackpot is not the only potential prize. Players can win lower-tier amounts by matching different combinations of main numbers and Lucky Stars. The value and number of winners in each category are confirmed after the draw and may vary from one draw to another.

Prediction: what could this mean for EuroMillions players?

For EuroMillions players, the immediate effect is that tickets for Friday, August 7, can now be checked against the combination of 26, 29, 35, 38 and 47, plus Lucky Stars 1 and 2. Anyone who entered the draw should verify the ticket through an official channel rather than relying solely on a news article or third-party results page.

The reported jackpot win means the next draw may begin with a lower advertised prize than the £94 million offered on August 7, although the exact amount will depend on the official rollover calculation and sales. Players should not interpret the jackpot result as evidence that certain numbers are more or less likely to appear next.

The conflicting Millionaire Maker and European jackpot figures also show why UK audiences should check country-specific results. A result published by a French operator may confirm the shared EuroMillions numbers but may not provide the correct UK promotional code or pound-value prize breakdown.

As with all lottery games, the result does not guarantee future winnings, and previous combinations cannot be used as a reliable forecasting method. Players should check tickets promptly, protect winning entries and take part only within their personal limits.
