Anticipation was brewing after the jackpot rolled over again last week.
But the record-setting EuroMillions lottery prize has now been scooped by one lucky winner based in Ireland tonight.
The UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner is: XPCD66044.
Meanwhile, tonight's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 02, 06, 12, 17, 39 and the Thunderball is 07.
The EuroMillions prize pot is capped at €250M, with players having five prize draws to win the life-changing amount.
In the meantime, players are reminded to check their tickets in case they are eligible to win a smaller chunk of the prize money.
Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw.
You can find out if you're a winner by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers.
During the final draw, if no one matches all five numbers and two lucky stars, the threshold to win will drop to five numbers and one star.
The prize money could then be split between multiple winners, making several millionaires.
I won £1million Euromillions prize but I thought I'd got nothing when call handler put me on hold - my heart SANK
Already this month, seven UK players have won a portion of the prize money after matching five numbers and one lucky star.
Five players won £3.6 million each on June 13, while another won £4.5 million on June 10, and another £2 million on June 6.
Even winning smaller portions of the prize pot can be life-changing.
Winners of over £10 million give away, on average, a quarter of their win (24.5%).
A further 91% report that they give time and or money to support a charity, while 10% say they have made someone else a millionaire.
Winning a prize like this could bring financial security and give you more free time to spend with family or enjoying hobbies, as 97% of winners say they are as happy or happier than before their win.
With such a big prize draw, winners could donate a quarter to charity and still have plenty spare.
They could even buy their own island, with Hummingbird Cay in the Bahamas currently being sold for £26 million - it also has space to moor your luxury yacht.
The National Lottery provide a concierge service called 'The Fixer' to help winners fulfil their dreams - as requests including purchasing designer handbags, family world cruises, and VIP sports tickets.
The first EuroMillions draw took place on February 7, 2004, by three organisations: France's Française des Jeux, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and the Camelot in the UK.
One of the UK's biggest prizes was up for grabs on December, 4, 2020 with a whopping £175million EuroMillions jackpot, which would make a winner richer than Adele.
Another previous UK winner who's whole life was altered with their jackpot was a player who wanted to remain anonymous on October 8, 2019. They walked off with a cool £170,221,000.

ITV drama set to come to an end after three series with filming for the final episode already underway
A POPULAR ITV drama looks set to end after three series as it's confirmed its upcoming run will be its final one. The Dry made its debut in May 2022, produced by the Irish broadcaster RTE, and initially aired on the UK streaming service, BritBox. 3 ITV drama The Dry is to end after three series Credit: copyrightpeterrowen2020 3 The Irish drama is currently filming its third and final series Credit: RTÉ However, for its second series, it was quickly moved to ITV amid its popularity. But now, the comedy-drama set in Dublin will come to a close with its impending third series. Production on its final episodes is currently underway in Dublin with the show likely to hit screens next year. The programme's writer, Nancy Harris, confirmed that there would be no more editions in a statement in which she reflected on the show. She said: 'It has been a true joy to see audiences embrace the Sheridan family in all their dysfunctional glory and I am so grateful to have gotten to tell this story over three seasons. "The third and final season aims to go deeper than ever before, really getting under the skin of Shiv and the family in a way that we hope is both surprising, funny and (painfully) honest.' Whilst Nana Hughes, the Head of Scripted Comedy at ITV went on to add: "ITV are absolutely thrilled to be part of the team alongside RTÉ and Element Pictures for the third and final series of The Dry. "Nancy Harris' scripts will make you laugh and may well make you cry....I did both just reading the scripts. "Nancy's award winning writing delivers more of the chaotic mess that is the Sheridan family. "I can't wait to see what Paddy and the cast will bring to the finale of this wonderful show.' Endeavour star returns in major new ITV drama in first TV role since that show was axed The programme follows Shiv Sheridan, played by actress Roisin Gallagher, a woman recovering from alcoholism who makes her way back home to Dublin. At 35 years old, she is fresh off ten years in London trying to be successful as an artist but to no avail. Her family in Dublin are not very supportive of her sobriety as they are all big drinkers and some even drug-users. The Dry follows Shiv as she navigates this and how she finds her feet back amongst her family in Dublin.

Rock legend ‘gives away' he's Glastonbury's mystery performer as he flies into UK days before festival
Fans are convinced they know when he'll pop up at the festival GLASTO CLUE Rock legend 'gives away' he's Glastonbury's mystery performer as he flies into UK days before festival Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GLASTONBURY fans have gone wild after one mega music star dropped a huge hint that he's headed to the festival. The American musician has flown in to the UK just days before this year's Glastonbury gets underway at Worthy Farm. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 One massive musician has 'given away' a 'mystery' performance at Glastonbury Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 Fans are convinced he will make a surprise appearance after jetting in to London Credit: Getty Fans are convinced he will be making a 'surprise' appearance at the huge music event - especially as he has done it before. Dave Grohl, 56, has sent fans into a spin after posing for a photo with US singer Amanda Palmer at London's Royal Albert Hall. Amanda was backstage at a gig by rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs when she bumped into the Foo Fighters legend. After grabbing Dave for a photo, she shared it on social media and told her followers: "Well I'll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show in London tonight, but look, it's Dave Grohl. She added: "We shared a sweet conversation mostly singing the cosmic praises of Melissa auf der Maur, whose magnificence truly obscures both of us. "It was really nice to meet you, Dave." Writing on Reddit, fans have been quick to make the connection between Dave's trip to London and next week's Glastonbury Festival. In 2023, a mystery act called The Churn Ups caused a stir when they featured on the Pyramid Stage bill. Fans went into a frenzy trying to work out who the band was, before they were eventually unmasked as The Foo Fighters. Starting a new thread on Reddit, music fans are now convinced Dave will be making another surprise appearance at Glastonbury. Fans slam Glastonbury as 'worst one ever' as full lineup announced One wrote: "Dave Grohl is in London, likely will be at the festival. Has done bits with John Fogerty in the past and other acts. Surely will be popping up at places this year?" Another replied: "Drumming for Alanis Morrisette possibly? Tribute for Taylor Hawkins?" And a third added: "100% will be milling about - I'd say a couple of guest appearances are a safe bet. Maybe Alanis for a song or Neil Young for an encore." The Foo Fighters' surprise Glastonbury set in 2023 was the first time the band had been at the festival since headlining in 2017. It was also their first major gig in the UK following the death of the band's drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in March 2022 aged 50. Taylor had joined The Foo Fighters in 1997 and, prior to that, was the drummer on Alanis Morrissette's tour. Canadian musician Alanis is listed to perform on the Pyramid Stage at 6.15pm next Friday (June 27), which would be the perfect time for Dave to appear. Other headliners this year include The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Doechii and The Prodigy. Glastonbury 2025 - confirmed acts so far TICKETS to the 2025 festival sold out in just minutes before some of the acts were even confirmed. Here is who has been confirmed so far. Confirmed headliners: The 1975 will take to the Pyramid Stage on Friday. Neil Young will headline the festival for the second time after his last set in 2009 on Saturday after RAYE makes her return. Charli xcx will headline the Other Stage on Saturday night. On Sunday, Olivia Rodrigo is due to belt out her hits for her first appearance while Rod Stewart will perform in the legends slot. More acts to appear on the Other Stage include Loyle Carner and The Prodigy. Doechii will make her Glastonbury debut on the West Holts Stage on Saturday night. Other names confirmed include Noah Kahan, Alanis Morissette, Gracie Abrams, Busta Rhymes, Lola Young, Brandi Carlile, Myles Smith, En Vogue, Amaarae, Cymande, Shaboozey, Osees and Gary Numan. Rod Stewart will also be performing in the Legends slot, having previously headlined at Worthy Farm 23 years ago. This week, the rock icon revealed in an interview how much he is being paid to perform this year - and how much he is set to lose. Rod told the Radio Times: "It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it, maybe a little longer. But it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America. "It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they only pay you about 120,000 quid. So it's going to cost me." 5 Dave Grohl has been pictured with US musician Amanda Palmer at The Royal Albert Hall Credit: Facebook 5 The last time Dave appeared at Glastonbury was with the Foo Fighters in 2023 Credit: Getty

Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre
They've been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. FAMILIAR FACE Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MURAL dedicated to an iconic Still Game character has appeared in Glasgow city centre. The sitcom favourite kept fans entertained during the show's run from 2002 until 2019. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Fans were impressed with the artwork. 3 The mural was sadly vandalised soon after being painted. 3 Winston is one of the most popular still Game characters. Credit: BBC And now Winston, played by funnyman Paul Riley, 55, has been immortalised in a new artwork. Now Still Game fans can catch a glimpse of their favourite grumpy man all over again - as he's been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. Local artist Tef captured the telly pensioner's signature grimace in a piece that has been praised by punters and co-stars alike. He shared a video of his work on social media with the caption "Stevieee" - a nod to Winston's comical rivalry with Stevie the bookie, played by Matt Costello. Gavin Mitchell, 60, who plays Bobby the Barman, was quick to praise the mural. He posted a series of emojis to signify the famous "two prints p***k" catchphrase that's synonymous with the series. One fan said: "Love this!! We need an Isa one next." Another supporter wrote: "This is class - we need the full set." A dedicated viewer added: "Looks like the face he's making when he's on the back of the bus in the Dial-a-Bus episode." And an impressed follower quipped: "My dog is named after Winston. "I need to find this so I can take a picture of it with my dog." Still Game star Paul Riley's showreel ahead of stand-up tour Sadly vandals defaced the mural shortly after it was completed. Terf hit headlines last month when he painted another mural of a comedy character. He paid tribute to comic Brian 'Limmy' Limond by spraying his sketch show character Dee-Dee onto the side of a building next to Yoker Ferry. It's a nod to a popular episode of the programme where he goes on a mysterious adventure to the Glasgow district.
