EuroMillions jackpot reaches £170m for Friday's draw as winner search continues

National Lottery players will have the chance to scoop an incredible jackpot of £170m in tomorrow’s EuroMillions draw.

Officials confirmed that no one was able to match all five numbers and two lucky stars on Tuesday night’s draw - which saw the jackpot at a total of £152,102,048.

This has now been rolled over to Friday night, which could see a lucky ticket holder scoop the second largest lottery winnings in the UK ever.

The largest ever lottery winnings in the UK were won last year, when Gloucestershire couple Joe and Jess Thwaite collected £184 million with a lucky dip ticket in May.

Scotland’s greatest ever lottery win came in July 2011, when Colin and Chris Weir from Ayrshire won a whopping jackpot of more than £161 million.

If no one wins the Europe-wide draw on Friday, then the jackpot will be rolled over once again.

The jackpot will then be set at a cap of €230m (£197.6m), which will be available for ticket holders to win for five draws or until a winner is identified.

A potential fifth draw will become the final one, which is known as a ‘must be won’ draw - meaning that people in the prize tier below could be in with a chance of winning a share of the incredible amount.

Experts have said that the odds of winning a life-changing amount in the Euromillions is around one in 139,838,160.

And to be in it to win it, players must purchase their tickets before the 7.30pm deadline on Friday night.

Tickets can be secured online on the National Lottery website or at a number of shops and supermarkets across the UK.
