If one cardholder in the UK wins the entire jackpot, it would immediately become the UK’s biggest ever winner, taking Gloucestershire pair Joe and Jess Thwaite from first place just two months after winning a record-breaking £184 million. to disappear.
It comes after National Lottery players failed to predict all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers in Tuesday’s £186 million draw, meaning the prize rolls on.
If a British player matches all the numbers in Friday’s draw, they would end up richer than singer Dua Lipa, who has an estimated net worth of £36 million, and actor James Corden, who is estimated to be worth £50 million.
They could also buy a house on Bishops Avenue in north London, known as Billionaires’ Row, where around £75 million worth of properties have been sold in the past, or the luxurious Doughty House in Richmond, south-west London, which is Worth £100 million.
The EuroMillions jackpot will be capped once it reaches EUR 230 million (around £197 million) and is estimated to be reachable during Friday’s draw.
When the jackpot reaches its maximum, players who match five main numbers and one Lucky Star can expect a bigger prize as all the money that would have been spent on raising the jackpot will be split among the winners in the next prize tier.
Once the limit has been reached and assuming it is not won, the jackpot will remain at 230 million euros four more times until it is due to be won in the fifth draw.
In a EuroMillions Must Be Won drawing, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot will roll down to the prize level where there is at least one winner – meaning many multi-millionaires can be created .
Friday’s draw is expected to be the first of five draws with the capped jackpot. If the top prize rolls over for another four draws, the Must Be Won draw will take place on July 22.
