The top prize must be won on that draw. If no player gets all six main numbers, the £18million will be shared out between winners in the next prize level.
The UK's 26,000 National Lottery ticket retailers are braced for a rush of customers before the big draws.
Analysis of ticket sales before a previous big EuroMillions jackpot draw shows four of the top ten best-selling stores were in London's Canary Wharf business area.
Another four were within the City of London, while Kensington and Chelsea and the West End completed the list of stores.
A National Lottery spokesman said: 'They say that money attracts money and maybe it's this belief that prompts bankers and brokers to play more when there are big jackpots.'
Tomorrow night will be only the fourth Lotto triple rollover in the lottery's 13-year history. The last triple rollover was in October 2006.
