An incredible £110 million Euromillions jackpot is up for grabs this week – the eighth largest prize ever if scooped by a single UK ticket-holder.

Friday’s draw rounds off a “winning week” for National Lottery players, according to organisers Camelot, after 20 millionaires were made in Tuesday’s draw on Millionaire Maker.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser, said: “We’ve already created 20 new UK millionaires this week and we’ve got our fingers crossed that Friday will see UK players come up trumps again with a huge EuroMillions jackpot win.

“We’re ready and waiting to welcome 2020’s first jackpot winner after last year saw an incredible seven massive jackpots, worth hundreds of millions of pounds, won by UK players.”

October 2019 saw the biggest jackpot ever awarded to a UK player – £170m. The winner took almost a month to claim their prize, but chose to remain anonymous.
