The UK’s biggest ever lottery jackpot is still growing after nobody claimed the prize on Tuesday night.
The prize pot for yesterday’s EuroMillions draw reached £199million – but nobody has claimed the top prize.
That means the jackpot has rolled over, so if a lucky single ticket holder manages to win the jackpot on Friday (June 6) they will walk away with an incredible £208million.
Allwyn, which operates the National Lottery, said Friday’s jackpot would be the biggest prize the UK has ever seen if someone claims the top prize.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser, said: ‘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.’
