The EuroMillions jackpot on Friday will be an estimated £208 million, after nobody claimed Tuesday’s top prize. The winnings would be the largest prize the UK has seen, according to National Lottery operator Allwyn. “We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery’s biggest wins list,” Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn said.
It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195million on July 19, 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10 2022. The UK’s third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177million jackpot in the draw on November 26 last year.
The biggest this year was £83million in January.
One thing is guaranteed in Friday’s EuroMillions draw, as one UK player will win £1million in the Millionaire Maker part of the game.
This sees all players entered into a draw with one lucky winner being revealed, Gloucestershire Live reports.
