The UK’s biggest ever lottery jackpot could be won in Friday’s EuroMillions draw, organisers have said.
The jackpot is an estimated £202m and would be the largest ever prize, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
Nobody won the £182m EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday, meaning the top prize rolls over into Friday’s draw.
The potential winner would top the ranks of the biggest EuroMillions wins by UK players, including the anonymous UK ticket-holder who scooped the existing record jackpot of £195m in July 2022.
Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won a then record-breaking £184m with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said if one ticketholder takes home Friday’s prize, they “would be crowned The National Lottery’s biggest winner of all time”.
“This colossal amount of money would make any lucky ticket-holder richer than some of the UK’s biggest and richest names, such as Harry Styles, Adele and Harry Kane,” he added.
It would be the third UK EuroMillions jackpot this year, after one ticket-holder came forward for their £83m prize in January, and another scooped a £65m jackpot last month.
