EuroMillions draw LIVE updates: Jackpot reaches 'truly historic' €250 million
One lucky EuroMillions player is in line to scoop a truly historic prize in Tuesday's draw, with the jackpot reaching its maximum possible amount of €250 million.
The EuroMillions jackpot reached its maximum cap on Friday, June 6, meaning this extraordinary prize cannot grow any further.
But here's the exciting part: on draws at the cap, any excess money that would usually be allocated to the jackpot will flow down to the next prize level at which there are winners.
If no one wins the top prize in tonight's EuroMillions draw, the jackpot will remain at €250 million for up to three more draws before it must be won on Friday, June 20.
If no one matches all seven numbers on the fifth draw, then the entire jackpot will roll down to the next prize level at which there are winners.
You can watch all EuroMillions draws first on The National Lottery website or it's YouTube channel at 8.45pm every Tuesday and Friday. The draw will take place at 8:45pm. If you can't watch the draw live, results will be posted shortly after.
Players are reminded that tickets for tonight's draw can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or online here ahead of the 7:30pm cut-off time for sales on tonight's draw.
Darragh O'Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson said: 'This is a truly historic moment for EuroMillions players in Ireland.
"With the jackpot capped at €250 million, any additional prize money that would normally increase the jackpot, will now be redirected to increase the value of the next prize tier at which there are winners.
"Imagine - we could be waking up tomorrow to news of Ireland's first €250 million winner.'

"I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that's phenomenal. "He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually." Most read in The US Sun Musk and Trump's online row ignited last week, with the pair exchanging barbs over social media channels. The Tesla and SpaceX boss blasted Trump's flagship spending bill, which he believes with further balloon the US national debt. Musk He has since expressed regret over "some" of the comments he made during the row. Most read in The US Sun Musk posted on X that some of his comments "went too far". Trump hit back at Musk on Truth Social, suggesting the billionaire is a "big-time drug addict". "I was disappointed in him, but, you know, it is what it is", Trump told the podcast. Trump crushes 'peace talk' hopes with Musk as he insists Elon has 'lost his mind' and 'vows to get rid of his Tesla' "That happens. Things like that happen. I don't blame him for anything. I was a little disappointed." Just days When asked by Devine whether Trump could get back on warmer terms with Musk, the president didn't rule out a reconciliation. He said: "I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country. "And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it's ever been. And I think we can do that." Trump added that "Elon agrees" with the merchandised catchphrase "Trump was right about everything". It marks a change of tone from Trump just days after he said Musk had "lost his mind." Devine asked him: "You said he had problems. What kind of problems? I mean, is it the drugs?" "I don't know what his problem is, really. I don't know," Trump replied. "I haven't thought too much about him in the last little while, but the bill is so good." Musk had been one of Trump's most ardent supporters during last year's presidential election. But he hasn't shied away from criticising some of the administration's policies, such as around tariffs. While Musk has backed down from some of his most strident comments about Trump last week, it remains unclear if the pair will fully reconcile. Trump had warned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk financially backed his political opponents. 4 The feud erupted over Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' which proposed stripping billions in government subsidies from Tesla Credit: AFP
