FRIDAY’S EuroMillions jackpot could make one very lucky Brit the biggest winner EVER.
No one had tonight’s numbers and the £186 million jackpot was unclaimed – meaning Friday’s draw has reached £191 million.

The EuroMillions jackpot is also expected to reach its cap of €230M on Friday, which could potentially mean bigger prizes at the lower prize tiers.
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 Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Friday will be huge – with an incredible estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £191M up for grabs, we could be celebrating our biggest-ever winner!
“Think of all the amazing communities that could benefit from a win of this size. Players should get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning in this amazing draw.”
Although no one claimed the top prize tonight, a Brit did become an instant millionaire.
The ticket-holder with the code TFTK58216 has been picked in the Millionaire Maker Selection.
BIGGEST-EVER JACKPOT
Tonight’s numbers were 07, 10, 25, 45, 48. The lucky Star numbers are: 03, 06
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.
