Euromillions jackpot hits £208m – biggest lottery prize in UK history
The Euromillions jackpot has hit a record-breaking £208m and it could be the biggest prize anybody has ever won in the UK.
The previous record stands at £195m when an unnamed punter in Gloucester scooped the the-record prize but that could be beaten in tonight’s draw.
It was already a record £199m when Tuesday’s prize went unclaimed and the new rollover amount takes it over £200m for the first time.
The winner will instantly be richer than Adele, whose net worth is listed as £175m according to the Sunday Times Rich List. It will also put the winner above pop superstar Dua Lipa (£115m) and level with former One Direction singer Harry Styles.
Winners will have to match all five main lottery numbers in the draw plus both Lucky Stars numbers. If you match every number but only one Lucky Star the Euromillions predicts you will win a prize of around £130,000.
