The record-breaking £208million EuroMillions jackpot remains unclaimed after Tuesday night's draw failed to produce a winner, giving players another opportunity to win the UK's largest ever lottery prize.
The massive sum will be available again in Friday's draw after no ticket matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars.
National Lottery operator Allwyn confirmed the jackpot has rolled over, maintaining its position as the biggest prize ever offered in UK lottery history.
The unclaimed prize exceeds the previous UK record of £195million won by an anonymous ticket holder in July 2022.
The prize has rolled over again
PAPlayers are being encouraged to check their tickets as several participants won substantial amounts in lower prize tiers.
Tuesday's draw saw the main numbers 19, 36, 39, 40 and 45 drawn, with Lucky Stars 5 and 6.
Four players matched five main numbers and one Lucky Star, but none secured the full jackpot by matching all seven numbers.
One UK ticket holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, banking £4.53million.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
Stores support the National Lottery’s aim to raise over £30million each week to back community projects to combat issues such as global poverty and homelessnessPAAndy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, explained: "The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star."
This mechanism could create multiple multi-millionaires even without a jackpot winner.
Carter previously noted that a winner would instantly become "richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane."
The £208million prize surpasses the previous UK record of £195million won anonymously in July 2022, as well as the £184.3million claimed by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester in May 2022.
Friday's draw will create 13 guaranteed UK millionaires through the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker, in addition to the main jackpot opportunity.
Carter urged players to secure their tickets early, stating: "This Friday EuroMillions gets even bigger.
"Not only will we see the £208million EuroMillions jackpot up for grabs, which would make the biggest-ever National Lottery winner, but there will also be an incredible 13 guaranteed UK millionaires made through EuroMillions Millionaire Maker."
