The biggest lottery prize the UK has ever seen will be up for grabs for a second time after no one won the National Lottery EuroMillions.
A whopping €250 million (£208million) was up for grabs tonight after Friday’s £199million jackpot rolled over to Tuesday.
But after the winning numbers were revealed, it seems no one got lucky, meaning the jackpot will roll over to the next draw on Friday.
The jackpot is so large that a single ticket-holder would be wealthier than Dua Lipa, Adele and Spider-Man star Tom Holland.

The winning EuroMillions numbers today are: 19, 36, 39, 40, 45 and the Lucky Stars are 5 and 6.
Nearly 3,300,000 people won tonight, according to the National Lottery.
As no one matched all seven numbers, the jackpot will roll over to Friday’s draw.
Not everyone was unlucky, however. At least one Briton matched five numbers and one star, meaning they’ve scooped up £4,537,217.20.
How to enter the EuroMillions lottery
You enter five numbers and two Lucky Stars for each line you play, or you choose a Lucky Dip for five random numbers.
Up to seven lines can be played on a single slip, costing £2.50 per line.
You can choose which draws you play on – either or both Tuesday and Friday – as well as how many weeks for.
Keep your ticket safe if you bought it at a retailer. There’s space on the slip to jot down your name, address and signature, which prevents someone else from stealing it and claiming any cash you win.
Tickets bought online are stored on your account.
Odds of winning EuroMillions
The odds of scoring a prize in EuroMillions are 13 to one.
They’re this large because there are 13 prize tiers – the odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are 1 in 139,838,160, according to Euro-Millions.
But winning the lottery isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, as experts previously told Metro.
The largest win on Friday was a Briton becoming a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, bagging £2.02million.
No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06.
Previous British winners include those who scooped £83,000,000 in January and the £65,000,000 jackpot in February.
