What time is the £169m EuroMillions draw tonight and when is the cut-off time to buy a ticket?

Tonight's EuroMillions is a very special draw as the jackpot prize must be won.

On Tuesday, October 8 the game enters its 22nd rollover with the biggest jackpot prize ever of £169million.

Like the past three games, the prize money has stayed at the €190million  cap, and hasn't rolled over in value since September 24.

Unfortunately, week after week, not one lucky player managed to take home the life-changing sum, which would make them the richest UK National Lottery player.

But it means it's good news for those taking part this evening because the entire £169m must be given away.

If there are no players who match five numbers plus one lucky star, then the entire amount will again roll down to the next winning tier, which is for those who match five numbers. And it goes on.

Therefore, plenty of millionaires are guaranteed tonight, but with this news, it means even more people are playing than there would normally, making it an even tougher competition.

But when will it all kick off tonight?

The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday, and ticket sales close at 7.30pm.

Thunderball numbers are usually revealed around 8.15pm, with confirmed winning EuroMillions numbers with us shortly after 8.30pm.

Tickets cost £2.50, which includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw.

You can see the results being unveiled in our live blog later this evening, so keep your eyes peeled.

Good luck!
