IT COULD BE EU
EuroMillions £180m bumper jackpot TONIGHT – get your ticket NOW
A RECORD-breaking £180 million EuroMillions jackpot could be yours in a mega rollover draw tonight.
If a single Brit ticket holder scoops the prize it would be the biggest win ever in this country.
Lottery bosses were expecting a frenzy of ticket buying today after the jackpot rolled over again on Tuesday.
The prize has reached its 210-million-euro cap - meaning it cannot climb any higher than the estimated £180 million value in sterling.
Lotto operator Camelot said that means the next tier of prizes will be boosted by the extra ticket sales.
The biggest lottery win in the UK was £170m in 2019 - which was claimed by an anonymous punter.
The previous holders were Colin and wife Christine Weir who scooped £161m in 2011 - making them richer than the Beckhams at the time.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: "We could see the UK's biggest-ever winner made, so get your tickets early.”
If the Euromillions jackpot is claimed on tonight, the winner would be almost as rich as Ed Sheeran, whose wealth is estimated at £200m.
And they would be richer than golfer Rory McIlroy, who is worth £170m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday with each ticket costing £2.50.
