The UK’s largest彩票 prize is set to roll over again after failing to award the £208 million jackpot in the last draw, as reported by The Independent. This year’s draw, held on Friday (the 5th), saw no winner, marking the longest-standing draw without a winner in UK history. The jackpot remains unclaimed, with an anonymous ticket holder securing £195 million on July 19, 2022, which broke the record for the largest draw in the UK, though not the overall record.
The £208 million jackpot will now continue to be awarded, with the second draw scheduled to begin on a Tuesday as it reaches £208 million. A senior opinionist at EuroMillions analyzed the situation and stated, “The Tuesday draw continues to look uncertain, but we confident that we will still sell out evenings and hit record-breaking numbers.” He emphasized the potential impact of this draw on the UK lottery winners, noting that a single ticket could land players in the millions, potentially making the UK the country with the largest overall winners list. The draw will also benefit from a £208 million boost to the next prize tier, increasing the potential winnings for participants.
One of the most notable winners of the draw was an anonymous ticket holder who matched the five main numbers (20, 21, 29, 30, 35) and the Lucky Star (02), securing a £2.02 million prize. This is the biggest single winner in the UK for the EuroMillions draw so far. In 2023, a smaller £500,000 jackpot for a match of the five Thunderball numbers on the Thunderball ticket was also awarded. Few, if any, winners claimed the £500,000 prize, with only one winning ticket and one empty Thunderball ticket. As of July 2023, £184 million had already been claimed for the famous ticket held by Joe and Jess Thwaite, drawn in 2022 on May 10.
The second biggest winning prize came on November 29th, where a £177 million jackpot was won by one ticket holder. In 2022, the third-largest prize came from a £136 million jackpot on the 12th. In 2023, two people claimed £88 million for a partial numbers match and two (£1 million each) for an across-the-board match. As of October 2024, £1,037 million had been claimed across all three draws and a couple won £33 million from a partial match of the generating numbers and Lucky Star.
