Tomorrow night’s jackpot has reached a whopping £158m with a mammoth rollover up for grabs in the twice-weekly draw.

Seven correct numbers will be needed to bag the lotto jackpot – five main numbers and two lucky star numbers.

Five main numbers and one lucky star will net £130,554.30 while five main numbers earns £13,561.20.

And all ticket holders are automatically entered into the UK Millionaire Makers which could net a cool £1m.

Three main numbers wins a more modest £6, while two main numbers nets £2.50 – covering the cost of another ticket.

Lady Luck has shone on the UK since the EuroMillions was launched in 2004 with some eye-watering wins.

A UK ticket-holder scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million on July 19, 2022 – the biggest National Lottery win of all time. Unsurprisingly they decided to remain anonymous.

Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester scooped a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for a draw held in May 2022.

Married parents of two Joe, 49, a telecoms sales engineer, and hairdresser Jess, 44, saw their net worth catapulted above England football captain and instantly gave them enough cash to splash out on four Caribbean islands, or 11 six-bedroom luxury properties in London’s most exclusive district of Mayfair.

Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, scooped £161,653,000 in July 2011, making them the biggest UK winners at the time.

Football fan Colin used £2.5 million to invest in his beloved Partick Thistle, a cash injection that saw one of the stands at the club’s Firhill Stadium named after him.

He later acquired a 55% shareholding in the club, which was to be passed into the hands of the local community upon his death. Camera operator Colin died in December 2019, aged 71.

The couple also set up the Weir Charitable Trust in 2013 and donated £1 million to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014. They divorced in the same year as Colin’s death.
