Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: "What a wonderful night for UK EuroMillions players, with one ticket-holder scooping a share of tonight’s whopping £47M EuroMillions jackpot! This makes it six lucky UK EuroMillions jackpot winners so far this year!

"UK EuroMillions wins don’t stop there, as tonight’s special Millionaire Maker draw saw 10 guaranteed UK millionaires made! Make sure to check the UK Millionaire Maker code on your ticket to see if you are one of tonight’s lucky £1M winners."

"Thanks to National Lottery players, £30M is generated every week for Good Causes right across the UK. This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girls’ football right across the four nations as the Lionesses made history in this year’s World Cup."

Tuesday's jackpot will be an estimated £14 million. Nine countries take part in the draw: Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

In the UK, 50% of the draw's revenue goes to the winners, 28% to charitable causes, 12% to the UK Government (as Lottery Duty), 5% in commission to retailers. A total of 4.5% is put into operating costs, and 0.5% in profit to Camelot.
