Key Points
1
In addition to EuroMillions and Thunderball, National Lottery players have other draws on the same nights, including Lotto (on Wednesdays and Saturdays) and Set For Life (on Mondays and Thursdays).
2
The EuroMillions jackpot can rise to €190m (approximately £167m), offering a potential payout larger than the headline £50m jackpot when the prize pool climbs.
3
Each EuroMillions ticket automatically includes a unique UK Millionaire Maker code, which enters players into a separate draw that guarantees at least one £1m UK winner with every EuroMillions draw.
4
Several outlets describe the coverage as a live blog with real-time updates, highlighting that numbers are announced live and results are reported as soon as they come in.
5
Ticket purchasing deadlines on draw days are specified (for example, tickets can be bought up until 7.30pm on draw days).
Tonight's National Lottery draws offer two major prizes: a £50 million EuroMillions jackpot and a £500,000 Thunderball top prize, according to Mirror and Wales Online. The Thunderball draw kicks off at 8pm, with EuroMillions following at 8:45pm.
Players have until 7:30pm on draw days to buy tickets. Each EuroMillions ticket costs £2.50 and automatically enters a separate UK Millionaire Maker draw, which guarantees at least one British player wins £1 million every single draw, Wales Online reports.
How to Win Tonight's £50 Million Jackpot
To claim the £50 million EuroMillions top prize, players must match all five main numbers plus both Lucky Stars, Gloucestershire Live explains. The main numbers are drawn from 1 to 50. The two Lucky Stars come from a separate pool of 1 to 12.
The Thunderball works differently. Players must match five numbers from 1 to 39, plus the Thunderball number from 1 to 14, to win £500,000, Liverpool Echo notes. Smaller prizes are also available for partial matches in both draws.
EuroMillions Jackpot Could Climb Far Higher Than £50m
Tonight's £50 million prize is not the ceiling. The EuroMillions jackpot can grow all the way to €190 million — roughly £167 million — if no one wins and the pot keeps rolling over, according to Wales Online. That makes it one of the biggest lottery prizes available anywhere in Europe.
EuroMillions runs every Tuesday and Friday. The draw is shared across multiple European countries, which is why the jackpot can grow so large so quickly when winners are scarce.
UK Millionaire Maker Guarantees a British Winner Every Draw
Every EuroMillions ticket comes with a unique UK Millionaire Maker code printed on it. That code enters the player into a separate raffle-style draw. At least one UK player is guaranteed to win £1 million from this draw alone, regardless of whether anyone wins the main jackpot, Wales Online reports.
This means every EuroMillions draw night produces at least one British millionaire. Players do not need to do anything extra — the Millionaire Maker entry is built into the standard £2.50 ticket price.
Where Tonight's Draws Fit in the Weekly Lottery Schedule
Tuesday nights are busy for National Lottery fans. EuroMillions and Thunderball both draw on Tuesdays and Fridays. Lotto, the other major draw, runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Set For Life draws on Mondays and Thursdays, offering a top prize paid out as a monthly income rather than a lump sum.
Several outlets, including The Business Times and Mirror, are running live blogs tonight with real-time updates as the numbers are announced. Results will be posted as soon as the draws close.
