EuroMillions jackpot rolls over AGAIN: One ticketholder could now land an eye-watering £208MILLION in Friday's draw
One lucky ticket-holder could bag the biggest lottery win the UK has ever seen if they scoop the top prize in Friday's record EuroMillions draw.
The jackpot has rolled over again after Tuesday's £199million draw, which would also have been a record-breaking amount, had no winners.
There is now an eye-watering £208million up for grabs - which would see the winner pip the likes of Harry Styles and Rory McIlroy on the wealth scale.
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.
'[It would make] 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.'
An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022, while just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10 2022.
The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177 million jackpot in the draw on November 26 last year, while the biggest this year was £83 million in January.

MailOnline reported in April that a grieving son found his mother's winning lottery ticket three days after she had died.
Liam Carter, 34, found the EuroMillions ticket folded inside an envelope, which his mother Anne and avid lottery player had heartbreakingly scrawled on the front 'Sat draw - don't forget!'.
She died on April 16, aged 67, just two days before her winning numbers came up having played every week and 'never winning anything big in her life'.
Mr Carter, originally from Hampshire but now living in Aberdeen, discovered the folded envelope inside her kitchen drawer, where his loving mother usually kept her tickets.
It meant Anne had won a payout of £18,403.
Mr Carter had almost ignored the ticket but said 'something told me to check'.

'I scanned it using the National Lottery app, and it said it was a winning ticket — but I'd have to call the lottery line,' he added
He phoned the line last Saturday and 'just froze' when he was told of how much the winning ticket was worth.
Mr Carter said: 'I must've gone quiet on the phone. It didn't feel real. She never won anything big in her life — and now this.'
He added: 'She always said if she ever won, the money would be for me,' he said. 'And even though she never knew about this win, it really felt like something she left behind for me. Like one final gift.'
He plans to use the money towards a deposit on a flat, something he says his mother always wanted him to achieve.
'She always said if she ever won, the money would be for me,' he said.
'And even though she never knew about this win, it really felt like something she left behind for me. Like one final gift.'
The ticket had matched five main numbers — 20, 27, 35, 39 and 48 — just missing the two Lucky Stars, 03 and 08.
