Brits have the chance of ending 2023 £26 million richer - if tonight’s Euromillions draw goes their way.
Tonight’s mega result is a rollover as no one won the special Boxing Day draw, with the potential of someone waking up tomorrow morning as Britain’s latest millionaire. With the cash they can look forward to a prosperous 2024, full of holidays, perhaps the keys to a new car or even a fancy home.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, previously said: “The National Lottery continues to make more and more big winners - and this year smashed through the 7,000 millionaire mark. Whether it’s winners or funding Good Causes, lives are being changed every day - all with a little pink ticket."
