Last Friday’s numbers were: 01, 02, 15, 30, 35 with Lucky Stars: 02, 07 and your UK Millionaire Maker code: JHML19422.

To claim today’s mega draw you have until 7:30 pm to decide your perfect numbers or take a chance with the Lucky Dip.

Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw.

Whether you’re planning that perfect holiday, your dream house, or quitting your day job to start your own business, this life-changing sum could be the perfect Christmas gift from Santa.

You can find out if you’re a winner by checking your ticket against tonight’s numbers.

The biggest jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.
