Single player could become the UK’s record National Lottery winner on Tuesday

If a single ticketholder lands the top prize, they will become the nation’s largest-ever National Lottery winner (PA) - (PA Media)

A single EuroMillions player could become the UK’s record-making National Lottery winner on Tuesday with the jackpot rising to £210 million.

The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it has reached 250 million Euros – an estimated £210 million.

If there are no winners on Tuesday, it will now stay at 250 million Euros for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw.

In the “Must Be Won” draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star.

A single UK winner would instantly become the nation’s largest-ever National Lottery winner.

They would knock into second place the anonymous winner of a £195 million prize in 2022.

It follows an Irish family syndicate claiming a EuroMillions jackpot worth 250 million euros (£216 million) on June 17.

The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on June 6 after rolling over several times.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, said: “Tuesday’s jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner’s life, but the life of the friends and family around them.

“So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain’s biggest ever win.”

Players should get their EuroMillions tickets – either in store or online – before 7.30pm on Tuesday.
