Players can watch the draw live tonight at 8:45pm on the National Lottery website or on YouTube. An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million in July 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw in May 2022. The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177 million jackpot in the draw on November last year. The biggest so far this year was £83 million which was won in January. Tonight's winner could end up richer than Adele with the £280 million figure topping the singer's £184million ($250 million) net worth. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn said: "We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery's biggest wins list." It comes after no one was lucky enough to pick up the £199 million jackpot on Tuesday. Multiple rollovers have increased the prize draw up for grabs tonight. Tuesday's winning numbers were: 12, 15, 38, 47, 48, plus lucky stars 05, 07. If tonight's jackpot is scooped by one person they will instantly top the National Lottery's biggest wins list. Lottery wins often go unclaimed and prize draws are sometimes not won by anyone, leading to a rollover. Currently there are four National Lottery winners yet to claim £1 million prizes. Three are winning Millionaire Maker codes, one was bought in Stevenage, one in Liverpool and one in Wiltshire. If prizes aren't claimed roughly six months after being won then the cash is invested back into the National Lottery.
