Tonight is the second EuroMillions draw of the week, with ticketholders in with the chance of bringing home a life-changing pile of cash.
Today is one of the lottery's special “superdraws” which is held throughout the year and sees the prize rocket up to and past an eye-watering nine-figures.
If a Brit was to walk away with this evening's jackpot, they would become the sixth biggest UK winner ever, report the Mirror.
A Scot would also be the second biggest known Scottish winner, after Colin and Chris Weir's incredible 2011 win.
Players have until 7.30pm today to get their hand on a ticket which could win the monumental amount of money.
However, they have stiff competition and the odds aren’t in their favour, as competitors from Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland all try their luck at the top prize.
Camelot ’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Friday promises to be a big night for UK EuroMillions players with a whopping estimated £111M jackpot up for grabs in the special EuroMillions event draw.
“Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of scooping this huge prize.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30M is generated every week for Good Causes across the country.
“This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations' athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
A superdraw held back in February saw one winner take home £109million, becoming the UK’s tenth highest lottery winner.
The last superdraw held on April 29 had no winner, and if tonight’s prize isn’t claimed it will roll over until someone takes it home or it reaches the jackpot cap of £196million.
The UK’s biggest-ever lottery winners came last month in Gloucestershire couple Joe and Jess Thwaite.
They became overnight millionaires pocketing the massive £184million jackpot with their record-breaking win.
Even after their life turned upside down overnight, the couple are reportedly trying to keep the same old routines, like doing their own DIY.
The second highest-ever winner won a cool £170million in October, 2019, but never revealed their identity.
One unknown Brit out there is walking around as one of the richest lottery winners ever. The mystery millionaire is richer than Adele and Ed Sheeran.
The third place richest lottery winners celebrated by buying a checked sports jacket, a computer and a tractor.
Colin and Chris Weir took home £161million back in 2011.
Fourth place was Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk who’s Lucky Dip bought at a convenience store earned them £148.million.
Fifth was Frances and Patrick Connolly from Northern Ireland, who won £114million.
