The EuroMillions prize rolled over again after no one won the National Lottery last time, and it means the winner this week will worth more than Dua Lipa and Harry Kane
The UK’s biggest ever lottery jackpot – a huge £208million – is up for grabs this week.
If the entire EuroMillions sum is awarded to one ticket holder, the winner will suddenly be worth more than Dua Lipa and Harry Kane – worth £115 million and £110 million respectively – and be on par with names from The Sunday Times Rich List 2025. The record-setting lottery draw will take place tonight.
The jackpot rolled over again last week, and so Brits have the chance to win the astonishing sum. Should one ticket holder win it, it will beat the previous record of £195,707,000, set on July 19, 2022.
And it will swiftly catapult the winner into the wealth of England captain Harry Kane, on big bucks with FC Bayern Munich in Germany, and three-time Grammy champ Dua Lipa.

The EuroMillions prize pot is capped at €250m, with players having five prize draws to win the life-changing amount. If nobody wins this week, the fifth and final “Must Be Won” draw will take place on Friday June 20.
In the meantime, players are reminded to check their tickets in case they are eligible to win a smaller chunk of the prize money. During the final draw, if no one matches all five numbers and two lucky stars, the threshold to win will drop to five numbers and one star.
The prize money could then be split between multiple winners, making several millionaires. Already this month, seven UK players have won a portion of the prize money after matching five numbers and one lucky star.
Five players won £3.6 million each on June 13, while another won £4.5 million on June 10, and another £2 million on June 6. Even winning smaller portions of the prize pot can be life-changing.
Winners of over £10 million give away, on average, a quarter of their win (24.5%). A further 91% report that they give time and or money to support a charity, while 10% say they have made someone else a millionaire.
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.”
