Tips to get lucky numbers
Avoid repeats – Another top tip is to ensure you are always choosing numbers that weren’t drawn last week.
While it might seem 3 is a lucky number, just because it appeared in the previous draw, it doesn’t mean it will again next time.
Odds and evens – According to expert analysis, all-odd and all-even line-ups are drawn less than three per cent of the time.
As there are seven gaps to fill, this means it is best to pick three odd and two even, or two odd and three even.
One of these patterns will occur in 68 per cent of EuroMillions draws.
Shun same last digits – Similarly to odds and evens, it’s good to mix things up when it comes to the second digit of your numbers.
Even if seven might be your lucky number, think twice about choosing 7, 17, 27, 37 and 47.
Almost 90 per cent of draws have no more than one repeated last digit.
And your chances of winning with four same final digits drop to less than two tenths of one per cent.

Who are the biggest Euromillions winners in history?
Your chances to win may be remote but if you do you could win big.
Here are some of the record prizes one by UK winners in the past:
Helpful tips to help you win
- Avoid computer picks. It lowers your odds of winning.
- On scratchcards try buying 10 of one ticket instead of several different tickets.
- 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.
What happens to unclaimed EuroMillions prize money?
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.”
