Now, Brits stand a chance of becoming overnight millionaires with the possibility of the UK's largest ever lottery win. While people across the country hope for success, they will wonder what they can do to boost their chances of winning.
Some people have their own methods they believe might take them to the win when it comes to the Euromillions. Some, for example, choose the same numbers every time. But experts have revealed what you should do if you really want to boost your chances of winning tonight's major jackpot of £208 million.
Accoridng to Lottery.co.uk, the least-drawn Euromillions numbers are 22, which has been picked as a main ball just 65 times between 2016 and now, and 40, which was drawn 72 times in the same time period. They also list 26, 11 and 16 as overdue numbers.
However, a National Lottery spokesperson said: "Any set of numbers can be drawn so sticking with one set doesn't make a statistical difference. However we are all drawn to our own lucky numbers and plenty of winners will say it is these that have helped them bank a big prize."
Meanwhile, where you get your ticket might matter. Over 1,000 people have become millionaires in the Midlands since the National Lottery was launched in 1994. Meanwhile, the less-lucky places include , where only 195 people have ever won more than £1million.
In , only 408 people have one over £1 million in the same time period. The UK in general is one of the luckiest countries that takes part in the Euromillions, with Lottery.co.uk revealing that since 2016, 46 out of 172 jackpot winners have been here.
Some players also swear by buying their tickets in a shop rather than online. But this has been debunked by the spokesperson.
They said: "Anybody has a chance of winning - the one essential is you have a ticket. Research has shown it is a 50/50 split for big winners between retail and online tickets."
"The key is to have a ticket - no ticket no chance - a ticket, whenever you buy it, means you are in with a chance of winning big.
"In general, fewer people tend to play when jackpots are lower, which means if you were to win the jackpot there is a slightly smaller chance that you would end up sharing it with another player who has the same set of numbers."
The Euromillions draw will take place at 8.45pm tonight.
