The results are in for the latest Euromillions jackpot and a life-changing £172 million is up for grabs.

Friday night’s National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are: 2, 12, 19, 34, 44. The lucky stars are: 6, 10.

Unfortunately no one managed to match all seven numbers.

But not everyone leaves emptyhanded, as three people were able to match five numbers and one lucky star, winning £124,791.30 each.

Another five players matched five numbers, each winning £8,333.00.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at National Lottery operator Allwyn, called Friday’s jackpot ‘jaw-dropping’.

He said: ‘A single UK winner of this jaw-dropping prize would make National Lottery history, coming in as the fourth biggest National Lottery winner of all time.

‘And it would also be the 20th win of over £100m since The National Lottery began.’

To win the estimated jackpot in a EuroMillions game, a player must match all five numbers plus the two lucky stars.

But some money can still be won without matching all the numbers.

If no one nets the EuroMillions jackpot, the money is also rolled over to the next draw.

Odds of winning EuroMillions

The odds of scoring a prize in EuroMillions are 13 to one.

They’re this large because there are 13 prize tiers – the odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are 1 in 139,838,160, according to Euro-Millions.

From always choosing the same numbers to only buying tickets in a shop rather than online, lots of players have their superstitions about how to increase their luck.

Expert reveals how you could win the EuroMillions

Or more accurately, an expert from the National Lottery has revealed what doesn’t help you to win the jackpot.

The Midlands is the luckiest region in the UK, as more than 1,000 people have become millionaires there since the National Lottery was launched in 1994.

But hold your horses if you’re considering packing your bags and moving, because as only about 5% of big winners share their news, their locations don’t provide the full picture.

Here are some other suspicions which don’t impact your chances of winning:

Using the same set of ‘lucky’ numbers every time

Buying a ticket in a shop rather than online

Choosing ‘overdue’ numbers

Only playing on a certain day

How many other people have bought tickets

Only playing when there’s a lower jackpot

But experts at the National Lottery have warned that most of these methods don’t increase your chances.

There’s only one way to be in with a chance at winning, and that’s simply by buying a ticket.

But while many people may think that winning a large sum of money may be a blessing, it can also be a curse.

Studies in the US have found that people are more likely to declare bankruptcy within three to five years compared to the average citizen.

The pressure may also cause somebody to spiral into depression and lead to alcohol and drug abuse.
