TONIGHT'S EuroMillions jackpot is the largest it's ever been but a lottery expert has some very surprising advice for the potential winner.
Professional winnings advisor Andy Carter, who has a lifetime of experience helping lottery winners, has shared his advice for whoever walks away with tonight's £191million jackpot.
With the prize at the maximum allowed by the National Lottery whoever wins this incredible sum will "become instantly propelled into the top thousand wealthiest people within the UK".
His advice for the potential new millionaire? "Do nothing."
Mr Carter told the Sun Online: "We would always say take your time, do nothing quickly, let it all sink in, have a holiday perhaps.
"What’s just happened is an amazing thing. If you win £191million that's a huge lifestyle change for the vast majority of people."

There have been 14 other people in the UK who have previously won over £100million.
"If someone wins this in the UK tonight they become part of quite a unique club, quite a difficult club to get into," adds Andy.
"But actually the great thing about that club is that there’s a whole load of support and advice from people who have been there."
The previous highest lottery jackpot was £184million, won by Joe and Jess Thwaite of Gloustershire. Despite their enormous new wealth, one of their first purchases was a second-hand Volvo.
Even the runners-up of tonight's draw stand to win a serious amount of money. With five main numbers and a lucky star, you could find yourself £130,554.30 richer.
