EUROMILLIONS lottery ticket-buyers will be wishing for the best tonight, hoping to scoop a jackpot prize to make them more than five times as rich as chart-topping singer Lewis Capaldi.
A £47m prize is up for grabs for anyone matching five ball numbers and two Lucky Stars.

The windfall would make the winner even richer than Scottish singer Capaldi, whose wealth has been estimated at £8.3m after releasing his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent in 2019.
He achieved his fifth UK chart-topping single last month with Wish You The Best.
The star, from Whitburn in West Lothian, has been open about his health struggles with vertigo and Tourette’s syndrome – and recently featured in the documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now.
He said of the film made available last month on streaming service Netflix: “When I saw the first cut I thought it looked like a film where I die at the end.
“Luckily things turned around and, as far as I’m aware, I don’t die at the end of this.
“It’s pretty vulnerable. There’s a lot of things in the film that were beginning to be resolved that are now resolved.”
Capaldi splashed out on a £1.6m five-bedroom farmhouse on the outskirts of Glasgow in September 2020.
The following year he won two awards at the Brits – though his bad language posed a challenge for broadcasters hitting the mute button as he swore on-stage.
He was also nominated at this year’s Brits in the Song Of The Year category, for Forget Me – though accurately predicted in advance Harry Styles would take the prize for As It Was.
Anyone matching five ball numbers and one Lucky Star tonight would be in line for £130,554.30, while matching five numbers without any Lucky Stars could scoop you £13,561.20.
The top jackpot prize of £47m is 1,424 times the average UK salary for full-time employees of £33,000.
There were no top jackpot winners following the most recent EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, when the potential biggest prize was £35,570,682.
Yet a British ticket-holder did win a whopping £46.2m share of the EuroMillions jackpot a fortnight ago.
A ticket from France and a ticket from Switzerland also matched the winning numbers to each take a third of May 2’s £138m prize .
