A life-changing £14 million jackpot could be waiting for one lucky Brit in tonight's EuroMillions lottery draw.
It could mean you are able to quit your job, buy your dream home and see the world but you'll have to enter to be in with a chance of winning. To play the game you choose five numbers and two Lucky Stars, or opt for a lucky dip, and it costs £2.50 per ticket.
Tonight will also see a draw for the Thunderball game, offering players the chance to take home a possible £500,000. As well as being in with a chance of winning serious cash, playing the lottery also helps raise around £30m each week for UK good causes.
Last week, a lucky player in France won the EuroMillions jackpot of £157 million.
After someone wins the jackpot, it resets to a more modest but still life-changing £14million.
Then, after every draw in which the jackpot isn't won, it keeps growing.
The EuroMillions draw takes place at 8.45pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Players, however, only have until 7.30pm to buy their tickets.
A team of National Lottery winners has spent a day packing donated toys into gift boxes that will make Christmas Day special for children.
The winners joined the team at the ToyBox Project in Bedwas, Caerphilly, a National Lottery-funded charity that distributes new and pre-loved toys to families and organisations across South Wales.
They brought a selection of new toys to add to the gift boxes and they also met some of the families who have been supported by the ToyBox Project while learning how it changes lives.
Among the helpers was Ceri-Ann Roscoe-Roberts from Llanberis who won £1M in 2023. She said, “As a mother of five children I know Christmas can be a tricky time. So, when I heard about the project, I jumped at the chance to help out.
“The ToyBox volunteers have told us that demand doubles at Christmas and they’re expecting to provide toys to more than 1,500 kids. We genuinely hope what we have done today helps make Christmas a little brighter for these kids and their families in South Wales. Seeing how much love and effort goes into ToyBox’s work is really inspiring – it reminds you what the true spirit of Christmas is all about.”
The search is on for a Lotto multimillionaire who has won £15million after The National Lottery’s 15 November ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto draw.
The winning single ticket holder matched all six main balls with the winning numbers 09, 11, 27, 44, 48 and 52.
The winning ticket was purchased online but the winner is yet to come forward. The player will have received an email as well as a message on their online National Lottery account asking them to call and claim.
If you played Lotto’s ‘Must Be Won’ draw on 15 November and are yet to check out any notification messages or emails on your National Lottery account, you should log in and see if you are the new multi-millionaire. As the ticket was purchased online, The National Lottery will be able to make attempts to reach out to this unknowing winner in the coming days encouraging them to urgently check their online account.
A dad who thought his lottery win was a computer glitch now plans to fulfil a lifelong dream with the money.
Peter Rogers, 73, bought a ticket on a whim during his weekly food shop and, when he asked a shop assistant to check it, he thought there was a problem with it as he was asked to contact Lotto headquarters.
But an employee at a second shop scanned the ticket and told Peter, a huge boxing fan, he had won one million pounds. The grandfather now hopes to travel to New York City to watch a major fight at the famous Madison Square Garden arena.
Peter, from Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales, said: "When I later realised I'd won, I genuinely did not believe it. The shop assistant scanned the ticket and the screen said I had to contact The National Lottery.
"I assumed there was some kind of glitch and I even went to another shop to double check because I thought it couldn't be real. Even when I realised that there was no glitch, I didn't for a second think it would be a £1M win. It is still sinking in now that I have won such a life-changing amount of money — it's like hearing the final bell after the fight of your life."
The EuroMillions will kick off tonight at 8:45pm with a £34m jackpot up for grabs.
The Thunderball will be drawn at 8pm.
All you have to do is pick five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. Or try a Lucky Dip for randomly selected numbers.
