Alongside the main EuroMillions jackpot, players also have the chance to win big with the EuroMillions HotPicks game, which offers up to £1 million for correctly matching numbers. Meanwhile, the Thunderball draw is also scheduled, with a top prize of £500,000 up for grabs.
The EuroMillions, played across nine European countries, has created hundreds of millionaires in the UK since it launched in 2004. While jackpots of more than £100 million aren’t uncommon, tonight’s £34 million prize remains a significant sum – enough to clear debts, buy homes, and secure futures.

Sadly, not very high.
The National Lottery reports that the chance of selecting all seven numbers correctly in EuroMillions is just 1 in 139,838,160.
However, some numbers have appeared more often than others. Number 20, for example, is the standout, having been drawn around 70 times.
For smaller wins, the odds are more promising. Players have a 1 in 22 chance of matching two numbers, and the overall likelihood of winning any prize in EuroMillions is approximately 1 in 13.

For anyone who enjoys the thrill of the lottery, Thunderball and EuroMillions HotPicks offer exciting ways to chase a big win, each with its own unique appeal.
Thunderball is fast-paced and straightforward. Players choose five main numbers from 1 to 39, along with a Thunderball from 1 to 14. Matching all five numbers and the Thunderball can earn a top prize of £500,000. Draws happen twice a week, giving players frequent opportunities to test their luck and feel the excitement of the draw. The game rewards both big wins and smaller successes, making it perfect for those who enjoy regular chances to win.
EuroMillions HotPicks, on the other hand, is a variation of the main EuroMillions draw that allows players to pick between one and five numbers from 1 to 50. If all the chosen numbers appear in the main EuroMillions draw, the player wins. The more numbers picked, the higher the potential payout, which adds an extra layer of excitement for those chasing life-changing prizes. HotPicks is simple to play and brings its own thrill, as every EuroMillions draw becomes an opportunity for a separate win.
Whether you are drawn to the frequent opportunities of Thunderball or the high-stakes excitement of EuroMillions HotPicks, both games provide a unique way to enjoy the lottery. Each draw brings anticipation, the chance to dream big, and the possibility of turning a small investment into a major reward. Playing responsibly while enjoying the experience is the key, as every ticket holds the potential for life-changing luck.
If you’re considering trying your luck at tonight’s jackpot, make sure you’ve got your numbers in before 7:30pm.
Tonight’s EuroMillions draw promises another chance to transform your life with a whopping £34 million.
