Anticipation was brewing after the jackpot rolled over again last week.
But the record-setting EuroMillions lottery prize has now been scooped by one lucky winner based in Ireland tonight.
The EuroMillions prize pot is capped at €250M, with players having five prize draws to win the life-changing amount.
In the meantime, players are reminded to check their tickets in case they are eligible to win a smaller chunk of the prize money.
EuroMillions prizes in UK must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.
It means tickets purchased for tonight's draw are valid until Sunday December 14, 2025.
Meanwhile, the UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner is: XPCD66044.
And tonight's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 02, 06, 12, 17, 39 and the Thunderball is 07.
No one has walked away with the top prize of half a million in the Thunderball tonight.
Two ticketholders did, however, match five numbers, meaning they won £5,000 each.
In total, there were 106,671 winners in the Thunderball, with a total prize fund of £586,787.
Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw.
You can find out if you're a winner by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers.
During the final draw, if no one matches all five numbers and two lucky stars, the threshold to win will drop to five numbers and one star.
The prize money could then be split between multiple winners, making several millionaires.
Already this month, seven UK players have won a portion of the prize money after matching five numbers and one lucky star.
Five players won £3.6 million each on June 13, while another won £4.5 million on June 10, and another £2 million on June 6.
Even winning smaller portions of the prize pot can be life-changing.
The first EuroMillions draw took place on February 7, 2004, by three organisations: France's Française des Jeux, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and the Camelot in the UK.
One of the UK's biggest prizes was up for grabs on December, 4, 2020 with a whopping £175million EuroMillions jackpot, which would make a winner richer than Adele.
Another previous UK winner who's whole life was altered with their jackpot was a player who wanted to remain anonymous on October 8, 2019. They walked off with a cool £170,221,000.
