The £191 million EuroMillions jackpot rolled over once again on Friday night, meaning that players must wait until today for their next chance to scoop the record prize. If claimed by a single person, it would result in the UK’s biggest-ever EuroMillions win, with the successful ticket-holder able to buy 11 Boeing 747 jets, 23 Pisces-VI Submarines, or Southampton Football Club.
As the prize has reached its cap, money that would have been added to the jackpot will boost winnings in the next tier, meaning several multi-millionaires could be created. In May, Joe and Jess Thwaite, aged 49 and 44, from Gloucester secured a record- breaking £184 million on Euromillions.
In the North East, £191 million represents three times what Newcastle United have spent on transfers this summer. It could easily buy you some very desirable properties. A search of rightmove.co.uk reveals the following pads up for sale.

Gateshead: Brackendene House, Brackendene Drive, Low Fell, £1.5m

There is “direct access into the centre of Low Fell with its shops, transport links and amenities, the Team Valley, Metro Centre, and indeed Newcastle City Centre”. And it is described as one of the finest, detached period homes in the area.
With £191 million to spend, however, you could buy all of the properties above. Or you could look further afield and purchase the last remaining private townhouse on Grafton Street, Mayfair. It’s on the market for £55 million.
