Enormous Euromillions jackpot could see largest winner ever in the UK

Tuesday could see the largest Euromillions winner ever as the jackpot has gone up to a whopping £184 million. A potential winner would become richer than footballers Paul Pogba, worth £64 million, and Harry Kane, worth £33 million, put together.

The colossal jackpot could purchase four Caribbean islands with a few million still left over to spare. It could also buy the equivalent of 11 six-bedroom luxury properties in Hyde Park in London.

If one person wins the jackpot they would be sent to the very top of the National Lottery's rich list. They would join only fourteen players to have ever won a jackpot of more than £100 million, HullLive reports.

The current record holder is an anonymous winner who scooped £170 million in October 2019. Bosses at Camelot have even said that we could see a new biggest ever winner.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “We could be looking at The National Lottery’s biggest ever winner this Tuesday! This massive amount could not only change a winner’s life, but would make a huge difference to their friends, family and community.

"My team and I have our fingers crossed for all UK players and are on stand-by to support all our big winners as they start their life-changing journey. Make sure you grab your ticket early!”

To be in with a chance to win, players are urged to buy their tickets before 7.30pm on Tuesday. If no-one wins on Tuesday and the jackpot continues to roll over, the EuroMillions prize will be capped once it reaches 230 million euro (£196.5 million), which it would likely hit on Friday’s draw.

Once it reaches the cap and assuming it continues not to be won, the jackpot will stay at 230 million euro for a further four draws until it has to be won in the fifth draw.
