What now as EuroMillions result means UK's largest ever jackpot rolls over again

Daily Mirror15 hours ago

The winning numbers for tonight's EuroMillions draw have been announced - but the National Lottery said nobody has won the huge £208million jackpot, which is rolling over again
What could be the UK's largest-ever lottery prize is rolling over again as nobody won the £208million EuroMillions jackpot this evening, the National Lottery has confirmed.
This means the eye-watering prize will be up for grabs again in the next draw on Tuesday evening - with players having a chance to win the jackpot by buying a £2.50 ticket. Tonight's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are: 02, 28, 40, 43, 45. The lucky stars are: 03, 07. But even though nobody has won the jackpot, many Brits have scooped smaller prizes this evening - and 13 people have also become millionaires through the Millionaire Maker Selection.

The lucky players will have one the following codes on their tickets: ZNZP75021, TNBC30976, HNBR22291, HNBG00357, XNBL07259, VNZV56928, HNBZ00729, VNBF50450, MNBC35019, ZNBP60221, JNZZ66637, HNZR99573, HMZR34844.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: "Tuesday will see the incredible £208M EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs.
"A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen. Get your tickets early to ensure you're in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.
"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're seeing multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.
"In tonight's (Friday 13 June) draw, five UK players became millionaires after matching five main numbers and just one Lucky Star, winning an incredible £3.61M each.
"Tonight's draw also saw 13 UK millionaires made through a special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker event – contrary to superstition, Friday the 13th has proven the luckiest date in the calendar for these lucky UK players.
"All UK EuroMillions players should check their tickets and contact us if they believe they are one of tonight's lucky winners.
"Each week, players help generate around £30M for National Lottery-funded projects. With over £50BN raised for Good Causes since launch, this funds hundreds of projects in every postcode area across the UK."

Two 'old' UK pennies worth over £100,000 - how to spot them

Both of these coins are extremely rare making them highly sought-after An expert has urged Brits to keep an eye out for two coins that combined could be worth a life-changing amount. These pre-decimal pennies, dated 1919 and 1933, might fetch more than £101,000 to collectors. In both cases it is their rarity that makes these pieces so sought after. And while they are no longer in circulation, there is still a chance they could show up in an attic or old coin jar. ‌ Speaking in a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, an expert known online as the Coin Collecting Wizard explained what to look for. ‌ He said: 'Who remembers these predecimal pennies? Check out these rare ones.' Firstly he described what is known as the 1919 KN penny. The expert said: 'The 1919 KN penny is a rare and highly sought after coin among collectors and one to definitely keep an eye out for.' Unlike most other penny coins of the era it features the initials 'KN' on its reverse side (tails side). This is because it was produced by the King's Norton Mint rather than the Royal Mint. He continued: 'Struck at the King's Norton Mint, hence the KN Mint Mark below the date, it was part of a limited batch produced when the Royal Mint outsourced some coin production after World War One. While not all 1919 pennies are rare, the KN variety is much harder to find, especially in high grades.' ‌ If you find this coin in great condition you could be able to sell it for more than £1,000. He said: 'In mint or uncirculated condition this penny can fetch well over £1,000 making it a valuable piece of British numismatic history. 'Its scarcity, historical context and distinctive mint mark all add to its appeal for collectors.' Next, he spoke about the infamous 1933 penny. It is highly unlikely that you would find one in your change as it is thought only seven were ever made. This occurred because there was no requirement for new pennies in that year. The coin features Britannia on its reverse and a depiction of George V on the obverse (head side). It could be worth an impressive £100,000 due to its rarity. He said: 'The 1933 penny, yeah you are not going to find this one as only seven are known to exist but if you did then you are looking at over £100,000.'

NHS pays tribute to 'dedicated' doctor and family who died in plane crash

Dr Prateek Joshi was flying back to the UK with his wife Komi Vyas and their three children on the doomed Air India plane after they planned to settle down in the East Midlands In an emotional tribute University Hospitals of Derby and Burton (UHDB) and the NHS have shared their "deep sadness" following the tragic death of Dr Prateek Joshi and his family in the Air India plane crash this week. There were among the 242 passengers and crew on board, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 Brits, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian. Harrowing stories of the dead continued to emerge on Friday - including more tributes for Dr Joshi and his family who posted a selfie of them innocently smiling after boarding the Boeing 787 plane before it took off. ‌ Dr Joshi, 43, worked as a consultant radiologist at the Royal Derby Hospital and Queen's Hospital Burton for four years, after moving to Derby from India in 2021. He was flying back to the UK with his wife Komi Vyas – a fellow doctor - their daughter Miraya, eight, and twin sons, Pradyut and Nakul, five, who planned to settle down in the East Midlands. ‌ The NHS has released a new tribute to the doctor and his family on Friday. Dr Rajeev Singh, Consultant Radiologist and Clinical Director for Imaging at UHDB, who knew the family well has shared some words which truly capture the person Prateek was. Dr Singh said: "Prateek was full of joy, he was a wonderful man, friend, husband and father, and an exceptional Radiologist who was highly respected in his field. He approached everything with a smile, radiated positivity and had a great sense of humour. "He moved to Derby, from India, in 2021, quickly becoming a beloved colleague. He often entertained colleagues with stories about his passions outside of work, including his newly discovered love of fish and chips and enthusiasm for walking in the Peak District. "He touched the lives of so many people, both through his clinical work and as a colleague and friend to many. ‌ "It is hard to accept that a man with such a passion for life, and his beautiful young family, have been taken in this way. His passing has left a profound void, not only in his professional contributions but in the warmth and spirit that he gave to the world every day." Royal Derby Hospital described Dr Joshi as 'not only an excellent doctor for whom nothing was too much trouble, but also a warm, smiling and kind man who was a hugely liked and valued member of the team'. Stephen Posey, Chief Executive, added: "We are profoundly and deeply saddened at the loss of our dedicated and talented colleague, Dr Prateek Joshi and his family. Prateek was not only an excellent doctor for whom nothing was too much trouble, but also a warm, smiling and kind man who was a hugely liked and valued member of the team. "We are privileged that Prateek chose to give his skills, talent and knowledge to the NHS, and he will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of working with him." The NHS statement concluded: "Our thoughts are with Dr Joshi's family, friends and colleagues, and everyone who has been impacted by this tragedy, which is being felt across the world and within our local communities."

UK households told to prune 4 plants immediately but only after common sign

Gardening expert and TV presenter Diarmuid Gavin has told Brits to get their pruning tools out for these four shrubs that may need trimming back Gardeners need to prune their spring-flowering deciduous shrubs as soon as they are finished flowering. That's according to Diarmuid Gavin who listed the main ones to keep an eye on this month. Among my weekly list of jobs for the garden, gardeners should be pruning spring-flowering deciduous shrubs such as kerria, forsythia, ribes and weigela as soon as they are finished flowering if they are outgrowing their space. ‌ But the jobs don't stop there. Gardeners should be paying extra special attention to their houseplants as well as those outside. ‌ Jobs inside and out you need to complete this week Most houseplants are in active growth, so need regular watering and fortnightly feeding. Feed tomatoes once a week. Check your cabbages for butterflies laying their eggs – often you will find them on the underside of leaves. Remove by hand as their baby caterpillars can completely denude your plant. Fruit bushes need lots of water in dry periods to allow fruit to swell. Plums, pears and apples can be thinned out this month. This will happen naturally as well – it's called June drop – but if you want bigger fruit, remove some of the smaller fruitlets. Ornamental lemon trees can vacation outdoors for the duration of summer. Plant some seeds – nasturtium seeds are easy and can go straight in the ground now or pots for a cascade of flowers in late summer. Continue successional sowing of salads and sow outdoors cucumber, sweetcorn, squash, French, runner and broad beans. Continue to earth up potatoes. New potatoes may be ready to harvest, depending on when they were planted. For anyone who is concerned over their bearded iris not blooming so far this year, one fellow gardener asked me for some advice. They do need dividing every few years to revitalise them, and now is a good time to do this once they have finished flowering. Gently dig up with a fork and split the thick rhizomes into a few separate plants, making sure each has a fan- shaped leaf. Replant them in a shallow hole so that their rhizome is still proud of the soil as they like to bake in the sunshine. Cut the fan-shaped leaves in half as newly planted rhizomes can be susceptible to wind rock until they anchor themselves in again
