The mammoth prize has rolled over in the UK after Tuesday’s draw yielded no winners – here’s what will happen if the same outcome occurs
The UK could be in for a record-breaking lottery win tonight (June 13) – with an estimated £208m up for grabs in the EuroMillions. No one won the jackpot on Tuesday’s (June 10) draw, meaning that the money has rolled over to tonight – and the stage is set for one person to make lottery history.
Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, said that whoever wins tonight’s jackpot if it is won would claim the largest prize ever awarded in the UK. But after Tuesday’s game drew a blank, what if no winner emerges yet again?
The EuroMillions jackpot is subject to a maximum limit of €250m, equivalent to £208m, and it will stay at this peak level for five draws unless someone scoops the top prize.

If it remains unclaimed up until the draw slated for June 20, it then triggers a ‘Must Be Won’ scenario, meaning the fortune cascades down to the next tier of prize winners should no one match all five numbers and the two Lucky Stars.
Adding to the excitement, this Friday will not just be about the immense jackpot but also about the additional EuroMillions Millionaire Maker event that promises 13 players in the UK a guaranteed £1m each.

Andy Carter, the senior winners’ adviser for Allwyn, fuelled the anticipation, saying: “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.”
