One fortunate UK resident stands a chance to win a substantial £32 million in this evening’s EuroMillions draw. To claim the EuroMillions jackpot, a player needs to match all five primary numbers and the two lucky stars. Additionally, a top Thunderball prize of £500,000 is available, along with various smaller prizes.
The results of the draws will be shared once the winning numbers are determined. The EuroMillions draw is scheduled for approximately 8:30 pm, followed by the Thunderball draw at 8:00 pm.
The Thunderball draw operates differently from other lotteries like EuroMillions, offering a fixed top prize of £500,000 instead of a progressive jackpot. Players must match five primary numbers along with the Thunderball to secure the top prize. In the event of multiple winners for the top prize, each winner receives the full £500,000 without dividing the jackpot.
Approximately 100 million individuals from participating nations purchase EuroMillions tickets weekly, resulting in odds of about one in 139,838,160 to win the EuroMillions jackpot. The odds of winning the Thunderball jackpot are one in 8,060,598.
Various smaller prizes, ranging from £5,000 to £3, are also available. Players have a one in 13 chance of winning any prize in each Thunderball draw.
