The Euromillions was launched in February 2004, with the first draw held on February 13 in Paris. 
Initially, only the UK, France, and Spain participated, with the Austrian, Belgian, Irish, Luxembourgish, Portuguese, and Swiss lotteries joining for the October 8 draw.
From September 24, 2016, the number of lucky stars changed from a pool of 11 to a pool of 12 numbers, decreasing the jackpot-winning odds from 1:117 million to 1:140 million.
The largest ever jackpot – a whopping €250 million (£213.6 million) – has been won on several occasions in 2025, including on August 19, June 17 and March 28. These were won in France, Ireland and Austria, respectively.
The largest win for a UK player was on July 19, 2022, when the jackpot winner bagged €230 million (£195.7 million).
The UK National Lottery’s Thunderball is a fixed-prize lottery game. Players pick five main numbers and one “Thunderball” number for a chance to win a top prize of £500,000.
Those who match five main numbers win £5,000, while those with four main numbers and the Thunderball win £250. Around one in 13 people have a chance of winning £3 if they match just the Thunderball.
Select five main numbers from 1 to 39, and one Thunderball number from 1 to 14. You can choose your own numbers or opt for a “Lucky Dip” for a randomly generated selection.
Each line of numbers costs £1.00 to play. Draws take place four times a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
You win by matching your numbers to those drawn. The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize. The top prize is not shared among winners – each receives the full amount.

EuroMillions draws take place in Paris every Tuesday and Friday evening.

The New Jersey Lottery games with the biggest jackpots are also the luckiest.
While Mega Millions got all the attention during the game's recent run toward a jackpot worth an estimated $1 billion and the Powerball jackpot is at $629 million for Saturday's drawing, the game had some of the most winners this year through the end of September.
Gallery Credit: New Jersey 101.5
Powerball had 119 winners who won nearly $14 million in prizes.  Not far behind was Mega Millions with 28 winners who won $4.4 million worth of prizes. There was no jackpot winner for either multi-state game. Jersey Cash 5 was the luckiest game played only in New Jersey.

Christmas Music Bingo set for December 11 at NLTCC  Minden Press-Herald

Many people dream of winning the lottery, but some may not know what to do if they actually win! Here are the top tips.
LOS ANGELES — Powerball will match a record for lottery drawings Saturday night with a stretch of more than three months without a jackpot winner.
It's that string of futility that has enabled Powerball's top prize to reach $1.23 billion, the 8th largest in U.S. lottery history. And it's a sign that the game is operating exactly as designed, with long odds creating a massive jackpot that entices people to drop $2 on a ticket.
Carolyn Becker with the California State Lottery said anyone who plays should sign the back of his or her ticket right away. She recommends big winners to give good thought to who they should tell.
"I know it's tempting to call your friends, call your family members, maybe even put it out on social media, but I really caution you against broadcasting it too widely because your life is about to change," she said.
If you win big, that's the time to hire experts to help you navigate that kind of wealth.
Monica Escobar Rangel, a financial advisor with Efficient Financial and Insurance Solutions, suggests you take the lump sum cash value right away.
"It's better to pay the taxes now and have control over the money in the long run," she said.
Also, having a team with a financial advisor, an accountant and an attorney is a good idea.
"We can put together a great plan for you, said Escobar Rangel. "Yes, you're going to want to spend it, pay off debt, give to charity and create a foundation or create many legal forms that we can help protect that asset in the long run."
Finally, fill out and submit your claim form available on theCalifornia Lottery website or your nearest lottery office.
Winners have a year to claim their prize.
For those choosing to play in a group, Becker recommends designating a jackpot captain everyone trusts, documenting as much as you can and having a plan ready to go in case you win!
The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was on New Year's Day, when a player in Michigan hit an $842.4 million jackpot.
Since then, there have been 40 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The 41st on Saturday night will match the record for most drawings, set twice before in 2022 and 2021.
The winless streak isn't a fluke. Lottery officials set the odds at 1 in 292.2 million in hopes that jackpots will roll over with each of the three weekly drawings until the top prize becomes so enormous that more people take notice and play.
The odds used to be significantly better, at 1 in 175 million, but were made tougher in 2015 to create the humongous jackpots. Lottery officials at that time also made it easier to win smaller prizes, and they note that the overall odds of winning something are about 1 in 25.
It's hard to envision what odds of 1 in 292.2 million mean.
One way is to think of the roughly 322 million people who live in spots where they can buy Powerball tickets – five states don't participate. If each person bought one ticket, you would expect one person to win and hundreds of millions of people to lose.
Put another way, the odds of winning the jackpot are a little worse than flipping a coin and getting heads 28 straight times, according to Andrew Swift, a University of Nebraska-Omaha mathematics professor.
Of all the people who bought lottery tickets for the last drawing Wednesday night, only 22.6% of the 292.2 million possible number combinations were covered, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. That means that 77.4% of number combinations were not covered, and it's an indication of why people so rarely win a jackpot.
Remember, the odds of an individual ticket winning never changes, but as more people play, more number combinations will be covered and the odds of someone winning rise.
And as bad as Powerball odds are, they're a little better than Mega Millions, the other nearly national lottery game, which has jackpot odds of 1 in 302.6 million. And, to be fair, someone won a $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize last month.
Without a doubt, the Powerball jackpot is an incredible amount of money, but it's also less than you might expect.
That's because while officials tout the $1.23 billion prize, that is for a sole winner who chooses to be paid through an annuity, with an immediate payment and then annual payments over 29 years. Winners almost always opt for cash, which for Saturday night's drawing would be an estimated $595.1 million.
Regardless of the payment option, a big chunk of the winnings would go toward taxes, though that amount would vary depending on winners' other assets and whether their state taxes lottery winnings. Just note that the top federal tax income tax rate is 37%, meaning a lot of the winnings would go to Washington.

ANAHEIM –– As the Ducks geared up for Saturday’s swordfight with the Vegas Golden Knights, they had one lottery pick solidifying his standing and another on precarious footing.
Beckett Sennecke scored a goal in Thursday’s 3-2 loss to Ottawa that moved him into a tie with the Islanders’ No. 1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer and Canadiens forward Oliver Kapanen for the league lead in goals by a rookie. He nearly took sole possession of the lead and sent the game to overtime, missing a late equalizer by mere centimeters.
“He’s dangerous. He’s dangerous with the puck, he’s dangerous off the rush with his play recognition when it’s time to score,” said coach Joel Quenneville of 2024’s third overall selection. “There’s other parts of his game, whether it’s coming up with loose pucks or influencing pucks, he’s starting to do more of that.”
Sennecke, 19, entered the season with an uncertain trajectory –– GM Pat Verbeek recently discussed on Ducks Stream that Sennecke was on a modified version of the Leo Carlsson development plan ––  but he has played in every game and grown with each 60-minute chunk of action.
Defenseman Pavel Mintyukov, who went 10th in 2022, has been headed in the opposite direction. Mintyukov was spotted leaving the arena in something of a rush after Wednesday’s win over the Boston Bruins and on Thursday it was revealed on the “32 Thoughts” podcast that the Russian rearguard had requested a trade.
Mintyukov was a regular in his draft-plus-two campaign, which he began at just 19 years old. After being given free range during that calamitous season, last year more was asked of the former Ontario Hockey League defenseman of the year in his own end. Competition with Olen Zellweger as well as the impending trades of Cam Fowler and Brian Dumoulin all meant fewer opportunities for Mintyukov at left defense last season.
Yet despite having draft standing and the favor of management working for him. Mintyukov ultimately retroceded responsibility to Zellweger, who has cemented himself on the second pairing and power play. Now, Mintyukov appears to have slid behind at least two more defensemen on the organizational depth chart.
This year, Mintyukov played in the first 18 games, largely on the third pairing, but has been relegated to the pressbox in three straight matches following the return of captain Radko Gudas. Typically, a right-handed-shooting defender like Gudas would take another righty out of the lineup, but the Ducks have opted to keep rookie Ian Moore and second-year player Drew Helleson both in their mix in favor of the left-shooting Mintyukov.
Quenneville described the situation as “competitive” on the Ducks’ blue line and said his staff would examine upcoming matchups to determine when Mintyukov might get his next opportunity. In all, Quenneville considered the Ducks’ defensive depth a feature rather than a bug, and behind their seven roster D-men awaited prospects like Tristan Luneau, Stian Solberg and Noah Warren.
“As an organization, there’s nothing wrong with going six, seven, eight, nine or 10 deep (on defense),” Quenneville said. “If we only have seven playing right now, he’ll get a turn.”

The WNBA Draft Lottery is proceeding on November 23, determining who will pick 1st in the 2026 Draft.
Despite an ongoing labor dispute and negotiation between the WNBA and its players, the league is moving forward with the WNBA Draft Lottery on Sunday, Nov. 23. It will air on ESPN at 6:30 pm ET and feature the league’s five lottery teams drawing their draft spots for 2026.
Teams that do not make the playoffs the previous season are eligible to draft in the lottery. Since the league expanded to 13 teams this year, keeping its 8-team playoff format, there are five lottery teams. This is also the only season that the 5-team format will stick around, given the league is expanding to 15 teams in 2026. Next season, there will be seven WNBA lottery teams.
Odds are determined by taking the last two seasons of a team’s record into account, and the team with the lowest success rate overall has the best odds at the No. 1 overall pick. Similar to the NBA, teams are designated a certain number of 4-digit numbers based on how high their odds for No. 1 are. The higher your odds, the more 4-digit combinations you get. The league then draws a 4-digit number using lottery balls, and the team that was assigned that specific set of numbers gets the No. 1 pick. They draw another 4-digit number for the No. 2 overall pick, and then picks 3-5 are designated based on worst-to-best record over the past two seasons for the remaining teams.
This year will be a little different than usual, and the first two picks after the lottery will go to the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire as expansion teams. From there, the rest of the first round is determined by the rest of the teams’ season results.
Here is the order of which teams have the best odds going into the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery:
The Dallas Wings have a 19-65 record over the past two seasons, giving them the best odds of securing the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row. This isn’t too out of the blue — the Indiana Fever had the No. 1 pick two seasons in a row in 2023 and 2024, drafting Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark. The Las Vegas Aces (aka San Antonio Stars before 2018) picked first overall in 2017, 2018, and 2019, drafting Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young.
The Wings got the No. 1 pick in 2025, choosing Paige Bueckers out of UConn. Before that, the last time they chose No. 1 overall was in 2021, when they picked Charli Collier. Collier is no longer in the WNBA but plays overseas.
The Chicago Sky have a 23-61 record over the past two seasons, meaning they secured the second-best odds in the draft this season. Yet, due to a trade they made, they don’t own this pick. No matter where the Sky’s original pick lands in the lottery, it goes to the Minnesota Lynx.
The Lynx have chosen No. 1 overall twice in the past — 2011 when they drafted Maya Moore and 2006 when they picked Seimone Augustus. Both turned out to be Naismith Hall of Famers. The Lynx themselves have a 64-20 record over the past two seasons, essentially fleecing the Sky with this trade, and they have the best shot at the No. 2 overall pick in a stacked WNBA Draft class.
The last time the Lynx drafted No. 2 overall was in 2023, choosing Diamond Miller. This season, they traded Miller to Dallas for Dijonai Carrington. The only other time they picked No. 2 overall was in 2010, choosing Monica Wright — now Monica Wright Rogers, Toronto Tempo General Manager.
The LA Sparks had the best odds at getting the No. 1 overall pick in 2025, but the lottery balls did not work out for them. They secured the No. 2 pick, but traded it in a three-team trade, sending the pick to Seattle. Seattle sent Jewell Loyd to Las Vegas, and Las Vegas sent Kelsey Plum to the Sparks. Through all of this, Seattle also got LA’s pick from this season.
Seattle has secured the No. 1 pick four times in franchise history. In 2001, they drafted Lauren Jackson, following that up one year later by drafting Sue Bird No. 1 in 2002. That duo went on to win championships in 2004 and 2010 for the Storm, before Jackson retired in 2012. In 2015, the Storm drafted Jewell Loyd No. 1 overall, and drafted Breanna Stewart No. 1 in 2016. Bird, Loyd, and Stewart went on to win championships with the Storm in 2018 and 2020.
The last and only time the Storm picked No. 3 overall was in 2015, picking Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.
The Washington Mystics have been draft wizards (no pun intended) these past few seasons. Last year’s trio of Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen and Georgia Amoore are poised to do great things for the Mystics in the future. Citron and Iriafen had great rookie seasons, making the WNBA’s All-Rookie team and being named All-Stars. Amoore injured herself in training camp, but is expected to return to the lineup in 2026.
The Mystics have only picked No. 1 overall once in league history, drafting Chamique Holdsclaw in 1999. Their predicted No. 4 spot is one they are much more used to. They drafted Iriafen No. 4 in 2025, Stephanie Soares No. 4 in 2023, Tayler Hill No. 4 in 2013, and Asjha Jones No.4 in 2002.
Although not as good as their original pick, the Sky will still get a lottery pick in this year’s draft, thanks to the trade they made to send Marina Mabrey to the Sun. Since the Sun were a (very good) playoff team in 2024, and WNBA lottery data uses the past two seasons to create odds, they have the lowest odds to get the No. 1 pick, likely picking No. 5 overall.
The Chicago Sky have never drafted a player No. 1 in their 20-year history in the league. The highest pick they have ever managed to get is No.2 in 2017 (Alaina Coates), 2013 (Elena Delle Donne), and 2008 (Sylvia Fowles).
They’ve only drafted No. 5 overall one time in history. In 2015, the Sky picked Cheyenne Parker-Tyus fifth overall.

Biohazard cleaners found highly toxic mushrooms they had never seen before in an abandoned bingo hall.
Megan Johnstone and Jack Tozer of Pro Clean Commercials removed dangerous mould and fungi from Bournemouth's Grand Cinema. Megan, 23, said she had never seen anything like those mushrooms, called Serpula lacrymans – a species of fungus known for causing dry rot.
The fungus present themselves in large and smaller shapes and often have a brown and white colour. Megan said: "I have never seen anything like it before so it was new to me. I had to do a bit of research and asking around other people in the same industry that I know just to get a bit of feedback on it.
"Even people that I know that deal with a similar sort of thing and a course leader that I did the biohazard training with they all said they've never seen anything like it."
On November 5 they were called in by the management company to clean the abandoned hall so that contractors can go in and work on a safe environment. But when Megan and her business partner Jack got it they were shocked to find the "weird-looking" mushrooms.
She said: "The process to remove them was pretty straightforward. We used shovels, a garden trowel just to try and get underneath it and really scrape it all up. Then we put it in waste and we have to deal with the residue that was there from where it's grown from. We put a treatment on it to block the mould and any hazardous components that are in the building."
She believe that a leak in the roof caused the fungus to grow in there as well as lack of ventilation because the building is boarded up. She continued: "Where it is such a big open space with no ventilation it's just really moist in there and where the wood has started to rot has created this fungus Serpula lacrymans."
Megan started the business based in Dorset nearly five years ago as commercial cleaning specialists. Only recently they started doing biohazard cleaning – and this was the first job of that kind. She said: "It was a really good job for us to start off with. Essentially we've made it all safe again so that maybe someone can come in and rip out all the wood and redo it."
Megan's initial idea was to join the police but became involved in the industry while studying to earn some extra money. She also felt her job was almost like an emergency services role – as she is often tasked with entering dangerous sites where every job comes with life-threatening risks.
Soon she is hoping to expand her business and open a training academy for biohazard cleaning and take on many larger jobs to expand her business. She said: "I feel like I'm doing my policing career a little bit through the biohazard work. We go up to trauma clean and emergency cleaning. In a way I feel like I still get to live out that dream to get to help people and work with people who really need it and to make things safe for them."
