The UK’s biggest-ever lottery winner could be crowned on Tuesday when a £186 million EuroMillions jackpot equivalent to winning the Wimbledon title 93 times is up for grabs. Should a UK National Lottery ticket-holder match all the numbers in Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw, they would topple the current British record-holders from the top spot less than two months after their win.
The lucky winner would instantly become richer than singers Harry Styles, who is worth an estimated £100 million, and Adele, worth an estimated £150 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. And the winnings would dwarf the £2 million prize money that awaits each of the winners of the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles titles at the Wimbledon tennis championships this year.
Their wealth would also instantly outstrip that of Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who scooped a record-breaking £184 million EuroMillions jackpot less than two months ago. It would also make the UK the luckiest EuroMillions nation, overtaking France’s 117 wins to date since the first draw in February 2004. There have already been three UK EuroMillions’ jackpot winners this year alone.
