EuroMillions £208m jackpot in potential biggest UK win

The jackpot for the draw on Friday June 13 will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK if won by a single ticket-holder, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.

The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million.

Once it has reached its cap, and if there is no winner, it stays at this value for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw.

This will be on June 20.

In the Must Be Won draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star.

Friday’s EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw will also see 13 guaranteed £1 million prizes won by UK players.

Players who play two or more lines online for Friday’s draw will have a chance to win one of 13 luxury holidays to Thailand.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said: “With 13 guaranteed new millionaires, and potentially the nation’s biggest ever National Lottery winner, it’s the perfect time to defy superstition and take a chance.

“The unluckiest day of the year might just become a day you’ll never forget.”

A UK ticket-holder became the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time after receiving a £177 million jackpot.

The single-ticket holder, who chose to remain anonymous, came forward to claim the EuroMillions jackpot after the draw on November 26 2024.

The winner became immediately wealthier than popstar Dua Lipa, who is worth an estimated £104 million, and Michael Buble, worth around £63 million.

A UK ticket-holder scooped £171,815,297.80 in the September 23 2022 draw – at the time the country’s third biggest National Lottery win.

The fifth biggest winner of the National Lottery to date scooped £170 million in 2019 after matching all the numbers in a Must Be Won draw on October 8.

Colin and Chris Weir, £161,653,000

Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, bagged their historic winnings on July 12 2011, making them the biggest UK winners at the time.

Colin used £2.5 million of his fortune to invest in his beloved Partick Thistle Football Club, which led to one of the stands at the stadium being named after him.

He later acquired a 55% shareholding in the club, which was to be passed into the hands of the local community upon his death. He died in December 2019, aged 71.

The couple also set up the Weir Charitable Trust in 2013 and donated £1 million to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014. They divorced in the same year of Colin’s death.

Adrian and Gillian Bayford, £148,656,000

Adrian and Gillian won 190 million euros in a EuroMillions draw on August 10, 2012, which came to just over £148 million.
