WHOEVER scoops tonight’s £88m EuroMillions jackpot should be so lucky indeed – it would make them richer than Kylie Minogue.
This evening’s top EuroMillions prize on offer is the biggest since March 7, when a Belgian ticket-holder scooped an even more eye-popping £129m.

Tonight’s draw expires at 7.30pm, with tickets costing £2.50.
As well as the £88million jackpot for matching five ball numbers and two Lucky Stars, 20 lucky Brits are being offered the chance to be made a millionaire in tonight’s draw.
Anyone scooping the top prize would instantly rise in the wealth ranks above Kylie, who first topped the UK singles charts in 1986 with I Should Be So Lucky.
The former Neighbours actress – who has a £16million home in London’s upmarket Knightsbridge – is worth an estimated £60m.
The £88m windfall is also 2,667 times the average UK salary for full-time employees of £33,000.
Britain’s biggest EuroMillions winner so far remains the person who claimed £195m in July last year while opting not to go public.
Before that, the UK record was held by Joe and Jess Thwaite – after the couple from Corse in Gloucestershire pocketed £184m in May last year, before celebrating with £16.95 steak and chips.
You can still bag a large amount of money even if failing to match all seven numbers.
