<h1>EuroMillions Fever: €87 Million Jackpot Up For Grabs After Friday's Draw!</h1>
<p>Paris, France – January 17, 2026 – The dream of a life-altering EuroMillions win remains alive! Friday’s draw (January 16, 2026) saw the €77 million jackpot slip through the fingers of hopeful players, rolling over to an estimated €87 million for the next draw on Tuesday, January 20th. The excitement is palpable, and three players came agonizingly close to hitting the big time, missing only the crucial star numbers.</p>
<h2>So Close! Three Players Miss Out on €77 Million</h2>
<p>The winning combination – 17-24-29-5-50 with star numbers 10 and 5 – proved elusive for all. However, three lucky European players (none from France) matched all five main numbers, securing a substantial €265,077 prize each. Imagine being *that* close! It’s a reminder that even a near miss can be a significant win.</p>
<h2>French Players Celebrate Smaller Wins & a Million Euro Prize</h2>
<p>The good news doesn’t stop there for French players. Three individuals correctly guessed the five main numbers but missed the star numbers, each winning a respectable €11,616. And in a separate draw, one lucky French player scooped a cool €1 million through the My Million game, with the winning code RC 732 6307. That’s a fantastic start to the new year for someone!</p>
