TONIGHT'S ￡172m EuroMillions jackpot has just been drawn - and it could make you Britain's biggest ever lottery winner.

A lucky ticketholder could scoop the entire amount in tonight's bumper rollover draw, beating the current record win of ￡170million.

Tonight's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are: 10, 42, 23, 46, 01 and the Lucky Stars are: 03 and 05.

That was won by a player who wanted to remain anonymous on October 8, 2019. They walked off with a cool ￡170,221,000.

The winner’s new fortune would exceed that of music legends in the shape of Queen's Roger Taylor and Sir Tom Jones - both worth around ￡170m - and not far behind Eric Clapton, who is worth ￡175m, DJ Calvin Harris at ￡180m and Robbie Williams at ￡185m.

And tonight's Thunderball numbers have also been drawn, with 6, 4, 10, 15 20 and a Thunderball of 2.

The luckiest star signs

According to the stars some signs are luckier than others, in particular:

Leo – Oh, Leo we knew you’d be one of the lucky ones. You always look good, have a string of admirers and just tend to always be prowling on the bright side of the street. Virgo – It’s no coincidence that planner extraordinaire is one of the luckiest signs of the zodiac. Virgos only become successful because they put in the hours and werk, girl. Scorpio – Magnanimous Scorpio has definitely got it going on when it comes to luck. They’ll often find themselves in the right place at the right time as if by magic, much to the annoyance of some less fortunate souls.

ill shop in Primark despite winning ￡1.8m’

A NATIONAL Lottery winning dinner lady still lives in her council house, shops in Primark and drives a Kia despite bagging ￡1.8million.

Trish Emson, 51, explained money or her millionaire status did not change her or her partner Graham Norton, also 51, who still works as a decorator.

The down-to-earth pair have even managed to keep their teenage son Benjamin, 17, in check – and don’t even give him pocket money.

The modest mum, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: “Being rich doesn’t make you posh or a better person.

“I don’t like showing off and bragging about money and I can’t be posh anyway.

“To look at me you wouldn’t think I was a millionaire, but if I have to dress up I feel fake, I prefer my jeans,” she told The Mirror.

How does the National Lottery work?

The National Lottery raises money to go to many ‘good causes’ and have helped give out numerous grants to those that need it most.

On their website they state: “We retain around just 1% of revenue in profit, while around 95% of total revenue goes back to winners and society. More so, we run one of the most cost-efficient major lotteries in Europe, with around 4% of total revenue spent on operating costs.

“To date, National Lottery players have helped to raise over ￡43 billion for Good Causes, with more than 635,000 individual awards made across the UK – the equivalent of more than 225 lottery grants in every UK postcode district.”

The National Lottery have said: “Our players change the lives of individuals as well as communities by raising, on average, over ￡33 million for National Lottery-funded projects every week.”

What are the odds of winning?

Euro-millions.com says the odds of picking five numbers and the two Lucky Stars is 1 in 139,838, 160.

Matching five numbers and one star has odds of 1 in 6,991,908.

There is a 1 in 22 chance of matching two numbers in the draw.

The approximate overall odds of winning a prize in EuroMillions are 1 in 13.

According to the EuroMillions website, the chances of winning the UK Millionaire Maker game can be estimated as 1 in 1,900,000.

But winning in this game depends entirely on the number of the payslips sold so the odds therefore fluctuate.

'I'm glad I didn't get the ￡3m

Martyn and Kay Tott got the shock of their lives when they realised they’d won ￡3million back in 2001 – six months after buying the ticket.

By the time they saw an appeal for the winner to come forward, they couldn’t find the ticket.

After 45 agonising days of deliberating, Camelot told the devastated couple that they weren’t going to receive the cash.

“Having that money taken away was torture,” Martyn told the Mail on Sunday.

“For a long time I lost sight of who I was and what I believed in. But I can honestly say I’m glad I didn’t get the ￡3million now.

“There is no guarantee it would have brought me happiness.”

For the Euromillions, the most popular number is 50, followed by 44, 19, 4 and 30.

The most common extra numbers have been 8 and 3.

Many players therefore use these same numbers, despite no set of number being mathematically more (or indeed less) likely than any other combination to come out of the machine.

Granny who stole ￡33,000 of scratchcards escapes jail

A gran stole ￡33,000 worth of Lotto scratchcards from a corner shop while working behind the till, a court heard today.

Trusted shop assistant Sheila Hancock, 60, took thousands of cards from the display without paying for them.

And if she saw it was a winning card after scratching off the silver foil she took the prize money out of the till, it was said.

Puzzled owner Virajkumar Patel couldn’t understand why his busy store wasn’t making a profit despite staying open throughout the pandemic.

So he checked CCTV and was horrified when he saw Hancock repeatedly helping herself to cards and winnings. York crown court heard she had become addicted to the “easy” gambling and got away with the deceit from January 2020 until April of this year.
