If the massive jackpot is won in Ireland, it would mark the 18th Irish EuroMillions jackpot win since the game launched here in 2004.

Meanwhile, National Lottery players will have another chance to win a life-altering sum on Saturday night as the Lotto jackpot heads towards an estimated €8.5 million.

Ahead of the two highly anticipated draws, the National Lottery are encouraging players to purchase their tickets early either in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie.

Players are also reminded that the cut-off time for ticket sales for Friday's EuroMillions draw is 7.30pm this evening while the deadline for purchasing a ticket for Saturday’s Lotto draw is 7.45pm that evening.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Could this be a truly memorable weekend for National Lottery players?
