A BRIT could well and truly be in the money as a staggering EuroMillions jackpot of £184million is up for grabs.
Any single ticketholder lucky enough to match all the numbers in Tuesday’s draw would become the National Lottery’s biggest winner of all time and the 14th winner to scoop more than £100m.

If the winner came from the UK, it would also be the second EuroMillions jackpot won in Britain this year after one winner claimed £109m in February.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “Tuesday will be huge, with a stunning estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £184m up for grabs.
“If won by one ticket-holder, it would instantly create the country’s biggest-ever winner, and enable them to support their local communities, charities and loved ones.”
The enormous prize would be enough to make the winner richer than Adele, dwarfing her £130m fortune.
It could also allow them to buy their own private island, including Rangyai Island off the coast of Thailand for around £130m, or an alternative budget option of the roughly £49m Cave Cay in the Bahamas.
While no one won the top prize of £164m on Friday, one lucky person in the UK matched the Millionaire Maker code of JJKK80736.
The winning main EuroMillions numbers on Friday were 03, 08, 18, 24, and 40, while the winning lucky star numbers were 03 and 11.
Five lucky players matched five main numbers and one lucky star, with UK winners in this cohort gaining £186,995.70 each.

Friday’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers were 02, 18, 23, 31, 37 while the Thunderball was 09.
Mr Carter added: “National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country generating more than £30 million every week.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2 billion has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus.”
The UK’s biggest National Lottery winner so far, came on October 8, 2019, when someone won a colossal £170, 221,000. Their identity was not revealed.
