EuroMillions jackpot soars to $209 million (£156 million)
No winner yet: Jackpot will continue to grow ahead of the next draw on Friday
EuroMillions players are being urged to check their tickets as the jackpot has rolled over once again — now standing at a whopping £156 million ($209 million).
No one scooped the top prize in Tuesday night’s draw, which means the jackpot will continue to grow ahead of the next draw on Friday, as per Metro UK.
The EuroMillions and the National Lottery Thunderball are both UK-based lottery games, but they differ significantly in prize structure, draw format, and odds.
To win the jackpot, players must match all five main numbers, plus both "Lucky Stars".
In the Thunderball draw, which took place at 8 p.m., the winning number was:
Thunderball numbers: 08
To win the Thunderball jackpot, a player must match five main numbers (1–39) plus the Thunderball (1–14).
