We asked Mirror readers if they would tell their huge news to the world if their numbers came up.
It’s fair to say not too many of you are keen!
Over three quarters – 76 per cent – responded ‘no way’ on our poll. In fact, just 4 per cent picked ‘absolutely… I’m rich!’.
Around 20 per cent said they would only tell close friends and family members if the won big, and who could blame them.
Either way, it’s not a bad problem to have!

After choosing, players simply decide how many lines they want to play, with each line costing £2.50. You can add as many lines as you like to boost chances of winning. As well as the massive jackpot, there are other smaller prizes up for grabs if you match fewer numbers.
Good luck to all players!
