EuroMillions is the absolute pinnacle of lottery draws, with both Brits and Europeans handed the chance to become multi-millionaires. There’s a mega £22million jackpot for tonight’s draw, but there’s still the chance to win lesser prizes if you’ve got at least two of the main numbers.

The EuroMillions draws take place twice a week – every Tuesday and Friday night.

The competition closes at 7.30pm on the night of the draw, with the results announced about an hour later.

Correctly guessing all seven numbers, made up of five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, will land you the jackpot.

But there are still 13 different categories of prizes, starting from £2.50.

Ticket holders could claim the following prizes:

Five main numbers and two lucky stars: £14m jackpot

Five main numbers and one lucky star: £130,554.30

Five main numbers: £13,561.20

Four main numbers and two lucky stars: £844.70

Four main numbers and one lucky star: £77.80

Three main numbers and one lucky star: £37.30

Four main numbers: £25.60

Two main numbers and two lucky stars: £9.10

Three main numbers and one lucky star: £7.30

Three main numbers: £6.00

One main number and two lucky stars: £4.30

Two main numbers and one lucky star: £3.60

Two main numbers: £2.50

What are tonight’s winning numbers?

Tonight’s EuroMillions draw is set to take place shortly after 8.30pm.

Express.co.uk will update this article when the winning numbers have been revealed.

What are the odds of winning the EuroMillions jacket?

Due to the massive jackpot, the number of entrances is also very high.

That means just one person in every 139,838,160 will win the top prize in any given EuroMillions draw.

But you’re more likely to win one of the lesser prizes, as you’ll need fewer matches.

To win the second prize, of more than £130,500, the odds are one in 6,991,908.

But, there aren’t fixed odds for the UK Millionaire Maker, however.

The odds are entirely dependent on how many people buy tickets, seeing as everyone receives one entry when they buy a EuroMillions ticket.

The National Lottery said: “Unlike in the main EuroMillions draw where the odds for each prize tier are fixed, Millionaire Maker odds vary based on ticket sales.

“So, when fewer people play your odds of winning improve as there are fewer codes to choose from.”
