But it means those playing tonight have the best chance of winning the entire jackpot.
This is because less people are likely to play because it's not a mega jackpot and that means any winnings could be split between a smaller group.
A spokesperson for Allwyn, which runs the National Lottery, explained: "EuroMillions is designed to be a huge, rolling jackpot game.
"So, we always have more people enter as the jackpot rises and excitement grows.
"We also see more syndicates and groups playing the game as the jackpot climbs.
"However, every draw, the odds of winning the jackpot remain the same no matter what the jackpot amount.
"You could possibly argue that, if fewer people play, then you are potentially less likely to share the jackpot with other winners."
The spokesperson added that, ultimately, any lottery is a game of chance and anything can happen, especially depending on what numbers are drawn and based on number combinations.
Of course, always remember to only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play.

If you do win the EuroMillions tonight, any prize must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.
Biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot
A record £208million EuroMillions prize was scooped earlier this week, leaving the winner with an eye-watering pot of cash.
The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05.
While one lucky person in Ireland won the jackpot, dozens of Brits also scooped prizes.
There were three players who matched five numbers and one lucky star who will win a whopping £6.3m each.
While 16 Brits won £16,119.10 by matching the five main numbers.
