THE biggest-ever EuroMillions jackpot is up for grabs again after nobody scooped the eye-watering top prize of £191 million tonight.
If one UK ticket-holder bags the entire jackpot, they would immediately become the UK’s biggest-ever winner, knocking Gloucestershire couple Joe and Jess Thwaite off the top spot only two months after they scooped a record-breaking £184 million.

It comes after National Lottery players failed to predict all five main and two Lucky Star numbers in tonight’s draw, meaning the prize rolls over to Tuesday.
Should a UK player match all the numbers in Tuesday’s draw, they would become almost six times richer than singer Dua Lipa, who has an estimated net wealth of £36million.
They would also be able to buy themselves a home in Bishops Avenue in North London, known as Billionaires’ Row, where properties have gone for around £75 million in the past, or the luxurious Doughty House in Richmond, South West London, which is worth £100 million.

Tonight’s main EuroMillions numbers were: 28, 31, 35, 43, 46.
Meanwhile the EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers were: 04, 07.
And one UK millionare was selected with the code MFVF64739.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Tuesday will be huge – with an incredible estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £191M up for grabs, we could be celebrating our biggest-ever UK winner! Think of all the good that a win of this size could do. Players should get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning in this amazing draw.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30M is generated every week for Good Causes across the country. This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations’ athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
The lottery game is played in Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
At the moment, the country’s biggest winners are Joe and Jess Thwaite.
The Gloucestershire couple were handed a record-breaking £184m jackpot back in May.
Despite their astonishing new wealth, one of their first purchases was a second-hand Volvo.
The second-biggest win was awarded to an anonymous ticket-holder who claimed £170m in 2019.
Colin and Chris Weir from Largs, North Ayrshire, won £161m in 2011, while Adrian and Gillian Bayford claimed just over £148m in 2012.
A ticket-holder from French Polynesia claimed £184m – just like the Thwaites – in October last year.
The young woman told the press: “I want to explore the world with my family, especially looking for snow, because I’ve never seen that before.”
