The National Lottery EuroMillions jackpot has hit its limit and will roll over to next week, giving players another chance at bagging the record-breaking £191 million prize. The jackpot hit its cap after nobody won the top prize on Friday night.
The top prize will remain at £191 million for Tuesday’s draw, which is still the biggest EuroMillions prize of all time. Any money which would have been added to the jackpot will go towards boosting the prizes in the next winning tier.
The winning numbers were 28, 31, 35, 43, 46 – with the Lucky Star numbers of 04 and 07. No-one in any of the countries which play in the EuroMillions matched all seven numbers, which would have made them instantly richer than Adele (worth £150 million).
If a lucky UK ticket-holder manages to secure the top prize on Tuesday, they would be able to purchase a townhouse in London’s Mayfair, complete with steam-room and plunge pool, cinema room and fully-equipped chef’s kitchen – which is valued at £55 million on Zoopla – three times’ over with money to spare.
Their winnings would also outstrip that of Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who bagged a record-breaking £184 million EuroMillions jackpot less than two months ago.
It would also mean that the UK would become the luckiest EuroMillions nation, beating France’s 117 wins to date since the draw began in February 2004. There have already been three UK EuroMillions’ jackpot winners this year alone.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “Tuesday will be huge – with an incredible estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £191 million up for grabs, we could be celebrating our biggest-ever UK winner. Think of all the good that a win of this size could do. Players should get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning in this amazing draw.”
