The EuroMillions is a European based lottery and is drawn twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. Ticket sales close about half-an-hour before the draw starts and opens again about an hour after the numbers have been randomly selected. To win a EuroMillions jackpot, you have to correctly choose seven numbers, comprised of five normal numbers and two so-called ‘lucky stars’. The five numbers can be in any order, and so can the two Lucky Stars.
The normal numbers are chosen anywhere between one and 50, while the Lucky Stars are selected between one and 12.
To win the overall jackpot, so £50million in tonight’s draw, you’d have to get all the numbers correct.
For five correct numbers and one lucky star, the winner will take home a generous £130,554.
For players in the UK, an added bonus of entering the EuroMillions draw is that you’re eligible to scoop the Millionaire Maker prize too.
