Those who are patient - or who just believe that good things may come to those who wait - might want to consider buying Lotto tickets for the weekend, as the jackpot comes along with 50 Lotto Raffle prizes worth £20,000 each. Your odds of getting your hands on one of these tidy windfalls is 1 in 330,000, calculated from approximated entries of 16.5 million for a Saturday game.
If you can’t wait until tomorrow night, EuroMillions is serving up its own eight-figure prize this evening along with a guaranteed prize of £1 million for the UK ticket holder who can match the winning Millionaire Maker code. Ticket sales for the pan-European lottery game close at 7.30pm GMT (8.30pm CET) before the draw takes place in Paris, and entries for both Lotto and EuroMillions are available from authorised retailers across the country or can be purchased online at your convenience.
