TUESDAY’S EuroMillions jackpot could make one very lucky Brit the biggest winner EVER.
No one had tonight’s numbers – and the £170million jackpot went unclaimed.

It means there’s yet another rollover, and if a single ticket-holder wins on July 5, they’ll claim an astonishing £186million.
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.”

Andy Carter, senior winner’s advisor at the National Lottery, said tonight: “Tuesday will be huge, with a stunning estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £186m up for grabs.
“One lucky winner could help a lot of causes close to their heart.
“Players should get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning in this amazing draw.”
The National Lottery generates more than £30m a week for good causes across the country, he said.
“This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations’ athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Mr Lord added.
Although no one claimed the top prize tonight, a Brit did become an instant millionaire.
The ticket-holder with the code TZQX03401 has been picked in the Millionaire Maker Selection.
BIGGEST-EVER JACKPOT
Tonight’s numbers were 06, 18, 24, 34, 46. The Lucky Star numbers were 03 and 12.
Meanwhile, two more people have less than a month to step forward and claim their own £1m wins.
Both ticket-holders won the cash in the EuroMillions draw on January 21 this year.
Their pay-out comes courtesy of the European Millionaire Maker raffle.
But on July 20, the deadline to claim the prize will pass.
The winners live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire.
