How much is tonight's EuroMillions jackpot? Ten UK millionaires to be created in Friday's EuroMillions draw
Tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot could be a very handy way of paying off Christmas expenses - plus there is a twist in tonight’s game that elevates it over regular draws.
What’s tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot?
The EuroMillions draw has a top prize of about £27m tonight.
The jackpot was reset after a Spanish player won £46m on Boxing Day (last Friday, for anyone understandably confused which day of the week we are on). Nobody won on Tuesday this week and so while tonight’s draw could still elevate the winner to the ranks of the very wealthy, it’s not in the super-rich leagues when the jackpot has surpassed £200m.
However, tonight there is a welcome twist in the game for UK players.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “While we may not have had any UK jackpot winners [on Tuesday], this Friday is a special draw where 10 UK millionaires are guaranteed! What a way to kick off the year that would be, so be sure to get your tickets ahead of Friday’s draw!
“Playing any National Lottery game is about more than the chance to win – it’s about coming together to make a difference. Every week, players help raise around £32m for projects that change lives across the UK.”
What happens if the EuroMillions draw is not won?
If the prize is not won, it rolls over to the next draw - the game is run on Tuesdays and Fridays - with a bigger pot. If there are no winners tonight, the jackpot will increase again for Tuesday’s game.
When is tonight’s EuroMillions draw?
The EuroMillions draw takes place at 8.45pm tonight, according to the National Lottery website, and the results of the winners are available about an hour later. Tickets have to be purchased before 7.30pm to qualify.
Is the EuroMillions draw on TV?
It will not be on television but if you want to watch it live you can do so on the National Lottery’s YouTube channel here.
What were Tuesday’s winning EuroMillions numbers?
The winning main EuroMillions numbers were 11, 26, 29, 34, and 44 and the winning EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers were 01 and 10.
Nobody matched all five numbers and any Lucky Stars, but three people matched the five main numbers to win £13,961.40 each, and five UK players had four main numbers and two Lucky Stars for a £1,185.90 payout.
Which other draws are held tonight?
There will also be the Millionaire Maker game, the EuroMillions HotPicks, and a Thunderball draw.
