The longest-ever rollover streak on the EuroMillions continues
after no-one scooped the jackpot on Friday.
There has not been a top prize winner for an
astonishing 18 draws and the total for Tuesday’s draw now stands at an
eye-watering 189.6 million euro (£167.5 million).

That is just 400,000 euro (£353,400) away from
the jackpot cap of 190 million euro (£167.8 million). Andy Carter of the
National Lottery said: ‘The EuroMillions jackpot rolls on to Tuesday night when
a huge £167 million jackpot is up for grabs.
‘Players are urged to get their tickets early
to be in with a chance of banking a life-changing prize. ‘This means if
Tuesday’s enormous jackpot is won, we could be looking at the UK’s biggest ever
winner. ‘The roll has reached a maximum cap of 190 million euro which, subject
to exchange rates, is an estimated £167 million.
‘Now it’s at the maximum, any money that would
have gone into boosting the jackpot will be shared among players in the next
prize tier with winners. ‘This means the draw could make lots of
multi-millionaires, probably for players matching five main numbers and just
one Lucky Star.’

Friday’s total stood at £167 million but
no-one picked the winning numbers of 8, 21, 25, 38 and 50 or the ‘lucky star’
numbers of 4 and 8.
The current record-holders for the biggest
ever lottery win are Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire,
Scotland, with the couple taking home £161million in 2011.
The couple went on to make the Sunday Times
Rich List, being named the 516th richest people in the country at the time.
Earlier this year, they announced they were to
divorce after ‘living apart for some time.’
