LAST night's rollover was an amazing £110K and it's still up for grabs as no one has claimed the numbers yet.
Because there were no winners on the £98million EuroMillions jackpot this Tuesday, it meant the prize rolled over on Friday night (19 November).
If you did get lucky it would put you among some of the richest people in the UK – and one of the biggest lottery winners ever.
Tonight's draw is the Lotto and could see someone win a huge £4.1 million.

Could luck be down to your star sign…?
According to the stars, it seems that some of us are much more likely to get it than others.
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. Their MI5-level attention to detail and incredible work ethic may make it seem as if things just fall in their lap.
Scorpio – 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.

Explained: Odds of winning the EuroMillions
The life-changing jackpot is hard to scoop. With between 80 to 100 million people purchasing a ticket for a EuroMillions draw each week, it proves stiff competition.
In order to win the cash prize, players need to match all five main numbers and both lucky star numbers.
But punters only have a 1 in 139,838, 160 chance of bagging the top prize.
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.

The biggest lost opportunity
The UK’s biggest unclaimed win was from June 2012, when a Euromillions prize worth £63.8 million.
The prize money was never picked up by its unfortunate owner.
The ticket was bought in the Stevenage or Hitchin areas of Hertfordshire but, after the allowed time period to claim expired, the money was instead distributed among charitable causes.

Secrets to winning the lottery revealed

- Mix it up – Never play all one-number groups.
- Don’t pick all odd or all even numbers.
- Don’t play patterns.
- Avoid anniversaries, birthday’s and dates.
- Don’t Copycat – Avoid playing winning numbers that have been drawn before, because every combination has a chance of coming up once every half a million drawings.

According to research from Lott and MailOnline, dreamy Pisces is the luckiest sign of the zodiac when it comes to winning the lottery.

So, Pisces, if you’re reading this maybe you should get down to the shops and buy a lottery ticket.

Family drama
In 2016, the Davies family won £61million on the EuroMillions.
Stephanie Davies, then 23, reluctantly bought a ticket after mum Sonia phoned from Florida and begged her to buy one.
Sonia, who worked as an administration assistant, was in the US having vital keyhole surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from the parathyroid glands in her neck, and had a feeling she would go on a winning streak after the op was a success.
But even this happy family couldn’t avoid controversy as it was reported father of the family Keith, of Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, would share his cash with his daughters with ex Mandy – but his wife’s son was allegedly snubbed.
Keith’s partner Sonia’s estranged son Spencer Pugh claimed he would not see a penny of the £61million EuroMillions win.

For the girls (continued)
Sarah, who said she “loved” her surgically enhanced chest, also went back to university so that her mum could have a “picture of me graduating”.
Eight years after winning the lottery she decided to quit her job as a social worker and pursue modelling opportunities, where she’s found ultimate happiness.
“Up until now there’s no bad part of being a millionaire – I’ve loved every minute,” Sarah added.

For the girls
Sarah Cockings from Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear won a whopping £3million in April 2005 when she was just 21.
She claimed to “live a very normal life” despite her vast fortune, and after the money dropped in her account she treated her siblings Emma and Alex to matching boob jobs.
“Just after I won, I bought my two sisters boob jobs but now I’ve had one myself, because mine were wrecked by breastfeeding,” she told the Daily Mail in 2019.

Feelin' lucky?
When playing the Lottery, Brits can choose their usual numbers, or take a pot-shot on the Lotto’s Lucky Dip.
Gillian and Adrian Bayford, who won £148m in 2012, took a chance on random numbers.
The couple snapped up a fleet of luxury cars and splashed the cash on property before their nine-year marriage broke down.
The UK’s biggest ever jackpot winners are still anonymous, with their prize draw of £170m.
Are you the lucky winner? (continued)
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It’s just a week ago that this life-changing Lotto jackpot prize was won.
“We’re asking Lotto players to check their tickets as this could be a life-changing win for the lucky ticket-holder. We’re hoping that they will now come forward and claim their amazing prize.
“What’s more, tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is a massive estimated £110M, meaning it could be a wonderful weekend of winning for National Lottery players.”
Any prizes that are not claimed after 180 days go to National Lottery Projects across the UK.
Are you the lucky winner?
Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets with a huge £4.1million still up for grabs.
The whopping prize remains unclaimed after the ticket was brought for last Saturday’s draw.
The lucky winner scooped a £4,101,869 jackpot by matching all six main numbers.
Camelot confirmed the ticket was brought in retail rather than online but hasn’t released the area yet.
They wait for a prize to remain unclaimed for two weeks before revealing where it was purchased.

Lucky Lucy
Dogs are often described as “man’s best friend” but it seems lucky rescue Lucy may appreciate that more than most.
She was found “starving and terrified” by Faye and Richard Davies after being “abandoned on the mountainside” in Brecon Beacons, Wales, back in 2018.
Just weeks late the couple won £1million on the EuroMillions and they decided to spend some of it treating the poor pooch.
After recognising Lucy was too scared to go out for walks, they paid £20,000 for a private field for her to play in.
Faye told the Mirror: “She was terrified of people, of other dogs and water, so dog walks were a nightmare.
“Then, weeks after our win, a half-acre field came up for sale just down the road [and] we bought it for Lucy.”

What happens if no one claims a prize?
If no UK players come forward within 180 days then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated while it is held in trust, goes to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
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.”

Family battle royale (continued)
The rest of the winnings are currently the focus of a dispute between the murdered farm labourer’s nine brothers and his widow Adriana Ferreira de Almeida.
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his murder.
In 2019, Renne’s brothers tried to annul the will that provided for Renata as the only heir, which was accepted by the court.
And earlier this year, the court doubled Renata’s inheritance advance – without prejudice to the other testamentary heirs.
But the 14-year-long dispute was finalised in October, with the daughter being granted half of the lottery winner’s money.

Family battle royale
The daughter of a lottery winner who was murdered by his wife over his jackpot got half his £12million fortune after a 14-year court battle.
Brazilian Renne Senna was murdered in 2007 after he won £7 million playing the lottery – and his widow is currently serving 20 years in prison for his death.
The lottery prize money, which he won in 2005, increased over the years due to the sale of various assets after his death- and now totals £11.7 million.
But now Renne’s daughter, Renata Senna will receive half of her father’s fortune, it’s been revealed.
According to local media outlets, as soon as tax on the money has been paid the daughter will receive half of the fortune.
