The chance to win the UK’s biggest-ever lottery prize is still alive after Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw produced no jackpot winner. On Friday, June 13, players will compete for a staggering £208 million jackpot — the highest payout ever offered in the UK, according to the National Lottery operator, Allwyn.
With the jackpot now capped at £208 million, any additional funds will boost prizes in the next prize tiers, offering more substantial winnings for other players. Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, explained, “This Friday’s EuroMillions draw is even more exciting. Not only is the massive £208 million jackpot on the line, but there will also be 13 guaranteed UK millionaires created through EuroMillions Millionaire Maker.”
Carter added, “It’s shaping up to be a very lucky Friday the 13th for those fortunate ticket-holders who win these life-changing prizes. We recommend getting your tickets early to maximize your chances of becoming a millionaire.”
Thanks to the capped jackpot system, while the prize fund can’t grow beyond £208 million, any extra prize money now increases earnings for players matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star. This means multiple UK players could secure substantial prizes in the upper tiers.
In Tuesday’s draw, one UK player became a millionaire by matching five main numbers plus one Lucky Star, winning £4.53 million. The winning numbers were 19, 36, 39, 40, 45, with Lucky Stars 5 and 6.
Additionally, a player won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by correctly matching the five Thunderball numbers 7, 15, 24, 25, 32 and the Thunderball number 4.
