One lucky ticket-holder could scoop the biggest lottery win ever
The winner of the ‘collosal’ EuroMillions draw could end up as rich as Harry Styles, Adele or Harry Kane. One lucky ticket-holder could bag the biggest lottery win ever if they scoop the top prize in Friday’s record EuroMillions draw.
The jackpot is an estimated £202 million and would be the largest ever prize, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. T
he potential Friday night winner would top the ranks of the biggest EuroMillions wins by UK players, including the anonymous UK ticket-holder who scooped the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022.
Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won a then record-breaking £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 £177 million jackpot in the draw on November 26 last year.
No-one won the £182 million EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday (March 25), meaning the top prize rolls over into Friday’s draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said: “This Friday night promises to be a massive one for EuroMillions players, as the country’s biggest ever winner could be made.
“Get your tickets early as there is an astounding estimated jackpot of £202 million up for grabs. A single UK winner of this jaw-dropping prize would be crowned The National Lottery’s biggest winner of all time.
“This colossal amount of money would make any lucky ticket-holder richer than some of the UK’s biggest and richest names, such as Harry Styles, Adele and Harry Kane.”
It would be the third UK EuroMillions jackpot this year, after one ticket-holder came forward for their £83 million prize in January, and another scooped a £65 million jackpot last month.
