UK’s biggest lottery jackpot of £202,000,000 up for grabs in EuroMillions draw
The biggest lottery win ever is up for grabs in this Friday’s EuroMillions draw, with one lucky ticket-holder possibly pocketing a colossal £202 million.
It would make for the biggest ever jackpot – eclipsing the £195 million won by an anonymous UK player in July 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, meaning the top prize rolls over into Friday’s draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at National Lottery operator 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.
