The longest ever rollover streak on the EuroMillions lottery continues after no-one scooped the jackpot on Friday evening.

The total for Tuesday's draw now stands at £167 million - the maximum possible prize money before it is capped.

There have now been 18 games since someone last won the top prize.

Andy Carter of the National Lottery said: "The EuroMillions jackpot rolls on to Tuesday night when a huge £167 million jackpot is up for grabs. Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of banking a life-changing prize.

"This means if Tuesday's enormous jackpot is won, we could be looking at the UK's biggest ever winner!

"The roll has reached a maximum cap of 190 million euro which, subject to exchange rates, is an estimated £167 million.

"Now it's at the maximum, any money that would have gone into boosting the jackpot will be shared among players in the next prize tier with winners.

"This means the draw could make lots of multi-millionaires, probably for players matching five main numbers and just one Lucky Star."

Friday's numbers were 8, 21, 25, 38 and 50, while the "lucky star" numbers were 4 and 8.
