A staggering £139 million EuroMillions jackpot is set to be won tonight, offering a life-changing sum that could enable the lucky winner to purchase a dream home, retire early, and travel the globe. This massive rollover follows no winners in the previous draw last Tuesday, creating one of the biggest prizes of 2026.
How to Participate in Tonight's Draw
To enter the EuroMillions draw, players must select five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12. Alternatively, they can opt for a Lucky Dip, where numbers are randomly generated. Each line costs £2.50, and participants can purchase multiple lines to increase their chances of winning. The draw will take place at 8.45pm tonight.
Thunderball Game Details
In addition to the EuroMillions, tonight will feature a Thunderball draw, providing an opportunity to win up to £500,000. This adds an extra layer of excitement for lottery enthusiasts seeking substantial cash prizes.
Public Reaction to Potential Wins
A recent poll conducted among readers revealed that 76% would not publicly announce a major lottery win, citing privacy concerns. Only 4% said they would openly share the news, while 20% indicated they would only inform close friends and family. This highlights the cautious approach many take towards sudden wealth.
Charitable Impact of Lottery Play
Beyond the chance to win big, playing the lottery contributes significantly to good causes across the UK, raising approximately £30 million weekly. This funding supports various community projects and charitable initiatives, adding a philanthropic dimension to participation.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, commented, "EuroMillions players are in for an exciting time this week with an estimated £139 million jackpot. A single UK winner would become the biggest EuroMillions winner of 2026 so far and the eighth largest National Lottery winner ever." He urged players to purchase tickets early to secure their chance at this historic prize.
