EuroMillions jackpot rolls over AGAIN as UK’s biggest ever prize at £208m goes unclaimed

A EUROMILLIONS £208million jackpot - Britain's largest ever prize - will once again roll over after failing to find a winner.

Lotto players were disappointed to discover no one bagged the eye-watering sum on Friday night.

The jackpot will now roll over to Tuesday - and at an estimated £208 million it makes for the largest prize the UK has seen.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said on Friday night: "Tuesday sees the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs.

"A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list.

"The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star."

The main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12.

One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02 million.

No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06.

It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022.

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

The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177 million jackpot on November 26 last year.

It came after 11 millionaires were made on the National Lottery draw in just one week in 2024.

One lucky Brit won a cool £33million with their Euromillions ticket.

Another ticket, which was snagged in the UK, matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars.

It came just weeks after two players from the same county scooped £1m each.

This year, the largest win was seen in January with £83million.

A previous EuroMillions lottery winner, who scooped an eye-watering £107million jackpot, has revealed why he went public with the news.

Neil Trotter bagged the whopping prize money and was faced with a huge decision whether or not to remain anonymous.

The 45-year-old chose to splash the cash and filled his driveway with a Jaguar and a Porsche - before upgrading their parking spaces to a luxury mansion.

But, Neil explained it can be tricky to go public because of pressure to provide people with money.

However, he was overjoyed to buy his sister a house, and help out family and friends privately.

He told the BBC: "It was quite tricky but I don't really see that there's any option [other] than to go public.

"If you want to live the dream - which is have the house, the money and spend it, you've got to go public.

"People have said in the past they would hide the money, I think £170million is going to be impossible to hide.

"This is the lake that I bought and the big house and I'm living my dream."

But he did previously admit he has been hounded by people making up claims to snap up his cash.

He said: "I have had loads of people contact me on Facebook, I’ve probably got about four million kids in this country.

"Everyone wants a bit of money."

Elsewhere, a lucky couple thought they'd only bagged £2.60 on the lottery - but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot.

Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw.

The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win.

Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account.

“I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check," he explained.

"We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million," said the winner.
