One lucky ticket holder could become the UK's biggest ever lottery winner in tonight's record-breaking EuroMillions draw, with the jackpot reaching a massive £199 million.

Senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, which operates The National Lottery, Andy Carter has urged Britons to purchase their tickets early ahead of the draw.

"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," he said.

"Get your tickets early to ensure you'll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win."

The ticket is the highest win ever given away

The prize rolled over after nobody matched the winning numbers in Friday's draw, when the jackpot stood at £185 million.

If a single UK ticket holder wins the entire jackpot, they would instantly become richer than celebrities including Dua Lipa and Harry Kane, landing at the number one spot of The National Lottery's biggest wins.

The current UK record stands at £195 million, won by an anonymous ticket holder on July 19, 2022.

Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester claimed £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket in the May 10, 2022 draw.

The UK's third biggest win came from an anonymous ticket holder who scooped £177 million in the draw on 26th November last year.

This year's biggest jackpot was £83 million in January, followed by a £65 million prize in February.

Friday's draw saw 18 ticket holders match five numbers without the lucky stars, earning £11,422.70 each.

A further 59 players matched four numbers and two lucky stars, securing £1,085.40 each.

One person became a millionaire through the Millionaire Maker selection, with the winning code MJTF42151.

Currently, three £1 million prizes remain unclaimed across the UK.

Two are Millionaire Maker winners, one in Wiltshire with a deadline of June 25 and another in Liverpool with a deadline of August 13.

Ticket holders have around six months to come forward and claim their prizes.
