Euromillions

It is the third time a UK ticketholder has won the top prize this year.

Czech-based Allwyn reported a 14% jump in UK underlying constant currency sales for the three months to the end of June.

One UK player came close to the jackpot, winning more than £600,000 for matching five numbers and one lucky star.

The jackpot had reached its cap, meaning additional prize money from ticket sales rolled down into the next prize tier – boosting the winnings.

The most recent run of EuroMillions draws lasting more than 10 weeks generated the highest ever UK sales of more than £550 million, Allwyn said.

Tuesday’s jackpot will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.

A jackpot of £208 million is on offer to a player who gets lucky on Friday the 13th.

The 10 biggest UK lottery wins to date are from EuroMillions draws.

The jackpot on Tuesday will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
