UK Weekend Lottery Action Is Hot

by Renee Israel

Win Big in UK Lottery Draws

This weekend, over £25 million is up for grabs in the two main lotteries - the UK Lotto and EuroMillions.

The EuroMillions draw takes place tonight (Friday, May 4th) and the huge jackpot currently up for grabs is £21 million.

The biggest rolling jackpot lottery game in Europe requires that you choose five numbers from one to fifty and two Lucky Stars from one to eleven.

There are two EuroMillions draws each week - on a Tuesday and on a Friday - and ticket sales close on 7.30 pm on the eve of each draw day.

Last Friday saw the £36 million EuroMillions jackpot won by a player in Spain. Tuesday's draw did not result in a win, meaning that the jackpot was rolled over to tonight's draw with £21 million in the jackpot kitty.

The EuroMillions jackpot also includes the UK Millionaire Raffle which creates two new UK millionaires each week.

The UK weekend lottery action also includes the Lotto, which will be drawn on Saturday night (May 5th), with £4.1 million up for grabs.

At only £1 a ticket, this is definitely an affordable way to get your hands on millions!

The Lotto Plus 5 is an additional game that can be played with the Lotto at an extra £1 per play.  The player's Lotto numbers are entered into five Lotto Plus 5 draws, offering five extra chances to win a top prize of £250,000 throughout the week.

Single Mum Wins UK Lotto Jackpot

Reading the tales of lottery winners is always heart-warming, and the recent Lotto jackpot won by a single mum from Stanford-le-Hope in Essex is a case in point.

Julia Styles, 46, who struggled to bring up her two children single-handedly, was shocked when she was told by the shop assistant that she had won £5,000 on her lottery ticket.  She said that she was so "shocked and delighted" at the time that she simply took the ticket and "walked out without paying for my shopping."

But there were more surprises in store for Styles, when her sister worked out that she had won much more than five grand. "She called me to tell me I'd actually won £1.6 million," she recalled. "I was gobsmacked."

Styles plans to spoil her kids rotten, buy her dream car - an Audi TT, and take a holiday in the Caribbean.
