A life-changing £95million 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.
The winning main numbers from tonight's EuroMillions are 4, 22, 32, 36, 47 with 2 and 10 as the Lucky Stars.
Tonight's winning Thunderball numbers have just been drawn.
They are: 6, 9, 15, 16, 35 and the Thunderball is 10.
Lots of people dream of winning big on a Scratchcard and, for one couple, their dreams came true when they won thousands in a sheer stroke of luck.
Kate Howells, known as itsmrshowells online, recently explained she and her partner previously won £260,000 on a National Lottery Scratchcard.
She said it feels "unreal" that they managed to bag so much money, as it couldn't have happened at a better time for them. In a clip shared on TikTok, the couple admitted it felt "amazing" to win, and others were keen to hear more about their story to success, as it's something that doesn't happen that often.
Kate, who's based in the Ribble Valley District, admitted it "still feels crazy", even though they won the cash back in 2022. She thinks they may have "manifested" the win, even though luck forms a great part of the game.
Despite many people being astonished, some couldn't help but chuckle at the way the couple marked their victory. Their initial buy might be deemed legendary by some, whilst others confessed they would have made the same choice.
One individual commented: "Omg, congratulations. I'd order a Chinese personally." Kate responded to this, writing: "I'm sure we ordered a takeaway of some kind. I can't even remember, haha."
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."
There was no overall winner of the incredible £86million jackpot in last Friday's EuroMillions draw, but some serious prizes have been claimed.
The winning main numbers were 11, 21, 39, 40, 43, with 2 and 8 as the Lucky Stars. No one matched all five main numbers (from one to 50) plus the two Lucky Stars (from one to 12) needed to win the tax-free jackpot.
But one UK player matched all five numbers and one Lucky Star, scooping £131,865.50.
Tonight's winning EuroMillions numbers will be drawn at 8:45pm.
The Thunderball game will be slightly earlier at 8pm.
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.

The latest EuroMillions jackpot was a lifechanging £95m – but did anyone win? The National Lottery was offering players a chance to win the incredible sum of money that could change your life forever.
This year has seen some of the biggest EuroMillions jackpots, with one lucky ticketholder bagging themselves £208m in June following successive rollovers after several jackpots went by without a winner.
To win the full jackpot, players must match all five numbers from one to 50 as well as the two Lucky Star numbers from one to 12. Receiving that much tax-free cash is almost unimaginable. If you won, the world would be your oyster.
You could leave your job, pay off your debts, and travel to pretty much anywhere you wanted. You could also give generously to friends, family and some deserving causes close to your heart.
Tonight's winning EuroMillions numbers are: 4, 22, 32, 36, 47 and the Lucky Stars are 2 and 10.
It has now been confirmed no one scooped the full jackpot.
However, there was one UK ticketholder who managed to match all 5 numbers (not the Lucky Stars). They are eligible to claim £24,455.50.
The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday at 8.45pm.
A ticket costs £2.50 and includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw, which creates new UK millionaires every week.
More information about tonight's draw can be found on the National Lottery website. All prizes must be claimed within 180 days after the draw.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: "Everyone dreams of that huge win when they buy their National Lottery ticket – and for those lucky enough to experience it, we’re here to make sure it’s a positive and secure journey.

The University will no longer permit residential theme or program house leaders to select their residents, according to a copy of the slides obtained by The Herald from an attendee at a Tuesday meeting with the Office of Residential Life. 
Residents of theme and program houses — including those tailored to students of specific races, genders and other identities — will now be selected through a “randomized lottery,” with those not selected being moved through to the general selection lottery. 
These changes will not affect Greek Houses or those interested in the Substance-Free or Recovery Community. 
This comes after the University entered into an agreement with the Trump administration that requires Brown to “cease any provision of benefits or advantages to individuals on the basis of protected characteristics in any school, component, division, department, foundation, association or element within the entire Brown University system.” 
It also requires the University to submit a report to the federal government attesting it “has acted responsibly” to ensure programs do not promote “unlawful” diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Current program houses include La Casita, Harambee House, House of Ninnoug and Brown Women’s Collective, among others. These program houses “foster a sense of community by bringing people of common interests to a common living environment,” according to ResLife.
Theme houses include Wellness Residential Experience at Sternlicht Commons as well sustainability, civic engagement and interfaith residential experiences at the Brook Street Residence Halls. 
Sevilla Montoya ’27, co-president of Brown Women’s Collective, who attended today’s meeting, said ResLife’s changes were very unexpected.
“Everyone was pretty shocked and really caught off guard,” Montoya said. “It really takes away the sense of community within program houses, and the process that’s been there for a really long time.” 
The University and ResLife did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Prior to the policy change, students in the Latine-focused houses, La Casita, said the affinity-based housing served as a space where students of similar backgrounds could connect with one another.
“Sometimes you don’t want to have to constantly be validating yourself and having to explain those complexities and political tensions. Sometimes you just want to be understood,” Gabriela Picazo ’28, a current member of La Casita, said before the ResLife meeting.
“Providing our members with a place to do what they need to do and not feel judged for it is probably one of the best things that we can do in these times,” co-president Daniel Brambilia-Diaz ’27 said.
