A STAGGERING £180million EuroMillions jackpot is still up for grabs – breaking records as the biggest prize to date.
The winning numbers have been revealed, but a winner is yet to claim the eye-watering amount of cash.
Tonight’s National Lottery Euromillions winning numbers are: 30, 09, 39, 18, 45 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 01.
Millionaire Maker Selection: – one UK millionaire has been created JCNV36031.
Tonight’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 08, 22, 24, 25, 37 and the Thunderball is 14.
Full details of winners and prizes will follow shortly.
The prize has reached its cap and the next tier of prizes have been boosted, with a cool £2.8m for second place.
While multiple people could end up splitting the EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday, if one UK ticket holder scoops £180m, it would be a record-breaking British win.
The current UK record win is £170m in 2019 – however that lucky punter decided to stay anonymous.
The previous holder was the late-Colin Weir and his wife Christine who scooped £161m in 2011 – making them richer than the Beckhams.
Then on Wednesday, the Lotto draw ‘must be won’ – meaning the entire £13.4million prize has to go.
The jackpot has rolled over five times and has to be won, either by players matching all six numbers, or if the jackpot isn’t won, it will filter down the prize tiers to boost all the other prizes, meaning lots of players could win lots more.
In the past when the jackpot has rolled down, more than a million players have won a lucky dip and £5 for matching just two main numbers.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It promises to be an amazing week for National Lottery players.
“There is a Lotto jackpot of £13.4M which has to be won on Wednesday and, as it hit its jackpot cap tonight, EuroMillions will stay at a whopping estimated £180M on Friday.
“We could see the UK’s biggest ever winner made, so get your tickets early – no matter what happens, it will be a wonderful week of winning.”
If the Euromillions jackpot is claimed on tonight, the winner would be richer than Harry Styles whose worth is estimated at around £74million.
They would also overtake sports superstars Roger Federer, £75.8million, Cristiano Ronaldo £75million,and Lionel Messi, £74.3million, according to the Forbes rich list.
The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday with each ticket costing £2.50.
Every ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw.
Due to the pandemic, National Lottery players are encouraged to play online or by downloading the National Lottery app, and to only buy their tickets in person in line with government guidance.
The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14million – BUT you’ve got to be in it to win it.
