EuroMillions jackpot to hit file £202MILLION tomorrow – and one fortunate participant may turn into lottery’s largest winner EVER
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 £202million and would be the largest ever prize, National Lottery operator Allwyn said, putting the winner well ahead of music superstar Adele thought to be worth £175million.
It would also make the winner twice as rich as Sir Andy Murray on £100million and leave £75million England captain Harry Kane in the dust.
The 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 £195million 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 £177million jackpot in the draw on November 26 last year.
No-one won the £182million EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday, meaning the top prize rolls over into Friday’s draw.
The EuroMillions has a jackpot cap of €250million (£208,576,250) meaning that one more single rollover will see it the prize money reach its maximum and no more cash can be added to the windfall.

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 £202million 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 £83million prize in January, and another scooped a £65million jackpot last month.
