EuroMillions jackpot of £199m next week could be UK's biggest ever lottery win
EuroMillions jackpot of £199m next week could be UK's biggest ever lottery win The jackpot is an estimated £199 million and would be the largest prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said Next week's Euromillions jackpot will be a whopping £199 million (Image: Getty Images ) The UK could witness its most monumental lottery windfall yet if a lucky participant clinches the forthcoming Tuesday EuroMillions draw's mammoth top prize. The estimated £199 million jackpot would be the largest windfall in British history, the National Lottery operator Allwyn has said. The absence of a EuroMillions winner on Friday propels the significant jackpot to roll over to the upcoming Tuesday draw. Andy Carter, the senior winners' adviser for Allwyn, the organisation behind The National Lottery, remarked: "We are now on the verge of creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen, as the EuroMillions jackpot will be an estimated £199 million this Tuesday. "If a single UK ticket-holder wins the lot, they'll instantly become richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane whilst landing at the number one spot of The National Lottery's biggest wins." New rules affecting roads and drivers across Wales planned READ MORE: Animal expert explains sweet reason your dog keeps staring at you READ MORE: A lucky Brit could join the top 0.001 per cent wealthiest people in the country on Tuesday (Image: PA Archive/PA Images ) Carter added: "Get your tickets early to ensure you'll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win." A record-breaking £195 million jackpot was claimed by an unidentified UK ticket-holder on July 19, 2022, closely following Gloucester couple Joe and Jess Thwaite who bagged £184,262,899 from a Lucky Dip ticket in the May 10, 2022 draw. The UK's third-largest prize was collected when an anonymous entrant won the £177 million jackpot in the November 26 draw last year, whilst the largest win in this year reached up to £83 million back in January.

Thunderball - 14 When and how to play There are chances to win EuroMillions every Tuesday and Friday. You can buy a ticket for £2.50 (on draw days up until 7.30pm). If you want more games to play, there is also Lotto every Saturday and Wednesday and Set For Life every Monday and Thursday.
