One ticketholder could become the UK\u2019s biggest ever lottery winner if they strike<\/a> it lucky in tonight’s record EuroMillions<\/a> draw. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The prize pot reached a massive \u00a3199,000,000 after nobody matched the winning numbers on Friday. <\/p>\n

It means the jackpot rolled over to the largest ever seen in the UK.<\/p>\n

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn which runs The National Lottery, said: ‘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 \u00a3199million this Tuesday.<\/p>\n

‘If a single UK ticket-holder wins the lot, they’ll instantly become richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane whilst landing at the number one spot of The National Lottery’s biggest wins.<\/p>\n

‘Get your tickets early to ensure you’ll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.’<\/p>\n

Previous British winners include those who scooped \u00a383,000,000 in January<\/a> and the \u00a365,000,000 jackpot<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

Even though nobody won the jackpot on Friday, there are still plenty of people who have won some cash.<\/p>\n

There are 18 ticket holders who matched all five numbers but no lucky stars, meaning they will receive a prize of \u00a311,422.70.<\/p>\n

Some 59 people matched four balls and two lucky stars, giving them a prize of \u00a31,085.40, while just over 1,300 people matched four numbers and one star, for a prize of \u00a389.80.<\/p>\n

Plus, one person, with the code MJTF42151<\/strong>, has just been made a millionaire thanks to the Millionaire Maker selection.<\/p>\n

But while many people may think that winning the large sum of money may be a blessing, it can also be a curse<\/a>.<\/p>\n
