HOW TO PLAY

Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.

They can also buy and check tickets face-to-face in stores.

Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize.

You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.

Earlier this year one couple thought they'd only bagged £2.60 on the lottery - but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot.

Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, 30 January 2024.

Meanwhile, a retired couple revealed how they almost missed out on a whopping £57million after their lottery ticket was ripped in half.

Fred, 73, and his wife Lesley Higgans, 63, were stunned after realising they'd won the Euromillions jackpot.
