Tonight's EuroMillions winning numbers are: 24, 31, 34, 41, 43 and the Lucky Stars are: 06, 08.
One lucky person has also become Britain's newest millionaire with the National Lottery Millionaire Maker.
This follows a 250 million Euro win for an Irish family syndicate on June 17 in the EuroMillions draw.
The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on June 6 after rolling over several times.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday's jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner's life, but the life of the friends and family around them.
'So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain's biggest ever win.'
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.

Tonight's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 04, 08, 13, 36, 38 and the Thunderball is 07.
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 Camelot in the UK.
Exact location of winning €250 million ticket revealed
This comes after the winners of the largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot revealed the risky move they took after receiving the life-changing news.
After winning a staggering £213,000,000, a family syndicate took a unique measure to protect their golden ticket.
The family, who won the money as a syndicate, described the experience as "surreal".
Their good fortune came about as one of the family members ran an errand in Co. Cork and decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket.
"Although I'm a regular player, I hadn't bought a ticket for the last two draws. I picked one up and honestly, didn't think much of it," they said.
The impromptu purchase changed the family's lives forever.
While they waited to cash in, the family took extra precautions to protect their winning ticket.
However, their unique move proved potentially risky as they concealed it within an A4 sheet before placing it under a stack of laundry.
It remained in the pile of clothes in their bedroom until it could be safely delivered to the National Lottery.
