Tonight's £168 million EuroMillions jackpot ranks as the UK's largest ever

AFTER a series of rollovers, tonight’s £168 million EuroMillions prize is set to rank as the biggest lottery jackpot in UK and European history.

The draw will have many Scots buying tickets and hoping to claim the big prize.

The current record winners are Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, who won £161 million in 2011.

So far this year, UK winners have scooped five EuroMillions jackpots, with the biggest so far won by an anonymous ticket-holder, who banked £87 million.

Could you be in luck tonight?

How can I win?

Online lottery platform Jackpot.com’s analysis of over 1,500 lottery draws around the world calculated the numbers most frequently drawn and found that these are 3, 6, 16, 22, 28, 37 and 45 – something for EuroMillions hopefuls to bear in mind for tonight.

Brits can get involved in the draw by playing on the website, where they also have access to 18 lotteries from across the globe.

Who would I be richer than?

The prize would see the lucky winner rank as one of Britain’s richest people at 672^nd on the 2017 Sunday Times Rich List.

The potential winner would be worth more than the likes of Sir Tom Jones (£160 million, 694^th on the Rich List), Jamie Oliver and Robbie Williams (both £150 million, 748^th).

The claimer of the prize would also be richer than famous power couples including Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne (£140 million, 793^rd), as well as Amal and George Clooney (£131 million, 837^th).

What could I buy?

The colossal jackpot prize could buy 123,795 gold plated iPhone Xs (at £1,349 each), 60 McLaren P1 LMs (the world’s most expensive car, at £2.78 million) or you could purchase Beyonce and Jay-Z’s mansion (£101.43 million) with over £60 million to spare.

Or, if the lucky winner is a football fan, they might want to help out their favourite team in the transfer market. The £168 million prize could buy two Romelu Lukakus, based on his £75 million transfer fee from Everton to Manchester United this summer.

How does the prize stack up?

If the prize were to be awarded in 168 million pound coins, stacking the coins one on top of the other would reach a height of 480.96 km and could see you out of the stratosphere (50 km) almost 10 times over.

Compared to some of the world’s most iconic buildings, the stack of coins equates to:
