Today it’s Friday, and it’s not that Friday feeling that’s got everyone excited today it’s the £117 million jackpot as the world goes Euromillions crazy. Tonight, the Euromillions Lottery has a staggering £117 million (€133 million) to give away! The jackpot has rolled over now for six consecutive weeks and it’s this that’s created this monster lottery draw, currently one of the biggest lottery jackpots, anywhere in the world.

At £117 million it’s one of the biggest lottery jackpots in the world this week, and with Euromillions tickets available in nine European countries, you can guarantee that ticket sales will be high. It’s certainly the biggest Euromillions jackpot of 2011, and could possibly be a record for the country where it is won, should it go to a single player in tonight’s draw.

Lottery frenzy is sweeping Europe, but none so much as is in the UK where this morning queues were reported at lottery terminals. Will it be another big UK winner? Britain has proved one of the luckiest Euromillions nations so far, with some of the biggest prizes landing here but we also seem to be one of the worse for checking the Euro Millions results.

Lately there seem to be lost of unclaimed Euromillions prizes in the UK, and in just a couple of weeks a £1 million Millionaire Raffle prize will be added to the fund for good causes if the winner doesn’t come forward. So make sure you check the winning Euromillions numbers after every draw, or you might miss out on a life-changing lottery prize!
