Belgian Player Wins €111,131 in EuroMillions Draw
A Belgian lottery player has won a substantial prize of €111,131.40 in the latest EuroMillions draw on Friday, July 17, 2026, according to La Libre Belgique. While no one claimed the €49.7 million jackpot, the Belgian winner secured the second-tier prize by matching all five main numbers without any Lucky Stars. The winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize.
Draw Details and Prize Breakdown
The winning numbers for Draw No. 1,964 were 12, 21, 23, 34, and 40, with Lucky Stars 9 and 10. The draw, which used Ball Machine 14 and Ball Set 20, saw a total of 1,721,476 winning tickets across all participating countries, as reported by Euro-Millions.com.
Of the seven players across Europe who matched five numbers, only one was Belgian — making the winner one of just a handful to achieve this tier. The prize of €111,131.40 is the second-tier reward, awarded to those who match all five main numbers but miss both Lucky Stars.
Across all prize tiers, 132,414 Belgian players won a combined total of €790,313.30 in this draw alone. The Belgian National Lottery (Loterie Nationale) confirmed the results, and the winner has until Friday, December 4, 2026 — 140 days from the draw date — to come forward and claim the prize.
A Remarkable Year for Belgian Lottery Players
This win adds to what has been an extraordinary year for Belgian EuroMillions players. According to DH Net, 2026 has seen multiple massive jackpots land in Belgium:
- June 9, 2026: A Belgian won a jackpot of nearly €175 million (€174,984,088)
- January 31, 2026: A group of 21 friends from Zingem, East Flanders, won a jackpot of €123 million
- July 3, 2026: A Belgian won a jackpot of €142 million
The consistent success has kept the lottery in the public spotlight throughout the year, driving ticket sales and generating widespread excitement among Belgian players.
Rollover Effect and Tuesday’s Draw
Since no ticket matched all five numbers plus both Lucky Stars, the €49,675,417 jackpot rolls over to the next draw on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. This will be a 4× rollover, with an estimated jackpot of €59 million — a sum likely to attract even more players across Europe.
Rollover draws typically generate heightened interest, as the accumulating prize pool creates a sense of urgency and opportunity among regular and occasional players alike.
What This Means for the Winner
While €111,131.40 is far smaller than the headline-grabbing jackpots won by Belgians earlier this year, it remains a life-changing sum for most people. The winner, who remains anonymous for now, could use the money for anything from paying off a mortgage to investing for the future.
The identity of the winner and the location where the winning ticket was purchased have not yet been disclosed. Belgian lottery regulations allow winners to remain anonymous if they choose, though some winners eventually come forward publicly.
Looking Ahead
All eyes will now turn to Tuesday’s draw, where the €59 million jackpot awaits. Given Belgium’s remarkable run of luck in 2026, many will be watching to see if another Belgian player can continue the streak and claim the top prize.
For the current winner, the advice from lottery officials is clear: sign the back of the ticket, keep it in a safe place, and contact the National Lottery to begin the claims process before the December 4 deadline.
