We’ve carried out a survey which has revealed that a jackpot isn’t a ‘true’ jackpot unless it’s over a whopping £5.4 million.
That’s the amount the average Brit would need to cover the cost of their most desired aspirational items.
2 for 1 for new players on tonight’s EuroMillions here!
Luckily, Multilotto players can bet for the chance to win jackpots way in excess of that amount including the massive £153 million EuroMillions jackpot.

What we’d spend it all on
The first thing UK residents would do with a huge lotto win would be to flash the cash on a new home, followed by paying off their current mortgage and other debts, then booking a luxury holiday abroad.
Some of the more outlandish things Brits would spend their lottery millions on include a canal boat in Amsterdam, a steam engine and an Egyptian mummy.
Another respondent would pay for their son to spend a day playing with platypuses in Victoria, Australia.
Meanwhile, a third wished for nothing more than 10 pairs of thick socks from Marks & Spencers.

1 in 4 would give to charity
Kind-hearted millionaires would also make sure they helped the less fortunate with their windfall, with over a quarter saying they’d donate to a charity regardless of how much they’d won.
And, unsurprisingly, most people who took home a lottery jackpot would pack in work at the earliest opportunity.
Although 16 per cent would continue to work even after winning the lottery.
While winning the lottery is a dream come true for most, a third think that winning a huge sum would lead to anxiety.
And just five per cent of Brits, surveyed by OnePoll, would be happy for everyone to know that they’d won a big jackpot.
A quarter say a huge lottery win would make them more relaxed, but one in 20 think they would end up more paranoid with millions in the bank.
