With no EuroMillions winner, the jackpot on Tuesday will be an estimated £208 million – a massive, life-changing scoop – but first you have got to grab your ticket online or in shops
An estimated £208 million is up for grabs in Tuesday’s lottery after no EuroMillions winner was found on Friday.
The jackpot will is now biggest lottery prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. The total prize money has now been capped, meaning prize pots in the next winning tier will be boosted.
“Tuesday will see the incredible £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. Get your tickets early to ensure you’re in with a chance of a massive life-changing win,” Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said.
Five UK players became millionaires on Friday after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £3.61 million each. However, there was no EuroMillions winner.

Mr Carter added: “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’re seeing multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.”
The main EuroMillions winning numbers on Fridaywere 02, 28, 40, 43, 45 and the lucky stars were 03 and 07. Friday June 13 also saw 13 UK millionaires made through a special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker event.
“Contrary to superstition, Friday the 13th has proven the luckiest date in the calendar for these lucky UK players. All UK EuroMillions players should check their tickets and contact us if they believe they are one of tonight’s lucky winners,” Mr Carter continued.
No players won the £1 million HotPicks jackpot – which uses the same numbers as the EuroMillions draw. No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot either. The five Thunderball numbers were 01, 02, 24, 33, 39 and the Thunderball number was 13.
When mum Annie Leith entered a different lottery last year, she was overwhelmed to be able to take her family on an abroad holiday for the first time. The yoga teacher, from Pill, Somerset, told the Mirror: “We have some wonderful memories, like waking up and hearing the waves crash off the cliffs in Tenerife. It was crazy to see and hear that. My children chasing lizards there was amazing, and the black sand on the beaches there was great. Digging shoes into the black sand was lovely. I remember the kids talking, or trying to talk, in Spanish out there and trying to encourage them.
“We have all got this little spark that something will happen outside the norm one day, and for us that has. This happened to my family to the nth degree so we are lucky… The world isn’t this thing with boundaries, which again is maybe a Covid thing, and it is great to explore. We have been able to experience this now and it has been life-changing.”
