Lottery - how much do you "need" to win tonight & why?

I bought a ticket just now, seconds before the cut off, as a the perfect house has come up on Rightmove. Walking distance to the DC's school and their sports clubs as well as the town centre, enough bedrooms for each of us as well as space for a study for working from home and a good sized garden. Unfortunately, it's £1.5m more than our current house and then stamp duty would be £££ and we'd need to buy a whole load more furniture and, as it's all open plan downstairs, put up some walls.
So I'm thinking £2m would be good but I could manage on £1.75m I think.
If I get three numbers, then, next time we're in the park, I'll say yes to the DC having an ice cream from the ice cream van.

We're looking to buy a new house as ours is too small for us all so £500k for a nice bit one would do me...

I’m thinking £2m would be good too but I could probably settle for £1.5: £1m doesn’t actually buy you that much property round here and i’ve got used to being able to
walk to work so can’t move too far out, and I need at least another guest room and a home office space, and enough to reduce my work hours to 3-4 days a week……

I put one on tonight and also did a lottery thread today as we saw a house - odd!

The house we’ve seen is less than 300k but is gorgeous in the best location ever. Hopefully the stars align for both of us… if we both have the same numbers I’d be happy with 1.9 mil lol.
