THE National Lottery is a game of luck and chance – but what are the most common winning EuroMillions numbers?
There is a massive £184million up for grabs on Friday through the EuroMillions – which could be the biggest payout in UK history if a lucky Brit bags the winning ticket.

No one won the £184million prize money last night, meaning it rolled over and will now take place on Friday.
The first draw was worth £174m and took place on October 8, but no one claimed the money and it was bumped up by another £10million.
With a jackpot of this size, the winner would be richer than pop stars Harry Styles, worth £75million, and Dua Lipa, worth £20 million, combined.
They could eclipse the fortunes of stars including Tyson Fury, who has around £150million in the bank as well as Grammy-winner Adele‘s £140million riches.
It would also make you the largest lottery winner ever – the current record win is £170million.
As we’ve mentioned before, any lottery game is a complete gamble and there is no guarantee what numbers could come up as each draw is a separate event.
In fact, the chance of matching all five EuroMillions numbers and the two bonus balls is 1 in 139,838,160.
Here are the most common numbers that have appeared in previous draws.
