  • There were no jackpot winners in Tuesday's draw meaning it will roll over
  • It has the potential to create one of the biggest winners Europe has ever seen
  • The current UK record jackpot stands at £161.65m and was won in July 2011 

Britain is set for a Lotto frenzy tomorrow as the EuroMillions jackpot soars to a staggering £155million.

There were no jackpot winners in Tuesday's draw, meaning the prize will increase ahead of tomorrow's game with the potential to create one of the biggest winners Europe has ever seen.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said: 'Friday's EuroMillions jackpot will be one of the biggest ever offered to National Lottery players in the UK.

Lottery fever has hit Britain as the biggest-ever EuroMillions jackpot of £167million goes up for grabs tonight 

An estimated £155 million could be won on Friday in what would be the second biggest EuroMillions jackpot ever offered in the UK

'At an estimated £155million, it would create the second biggest win that this country and Europe has ever seen. 

'The draw will also help to raise more millions for National Lottery Good Causes, with on average £30million added every week to the £37billion raised so far.'

The news is likely to inspire more Britons to play this week as they try to get their hands on the hefty prize.

The £155 million prize is still some way from the £161.65million won by Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, in July 2011, which remains the UK record.

Winning numbers in last night's EuroMillions draw were 40, 29, 01, 48, 41, with Lucky Stars 12 and 06.

There have been five EuroMillions jackpots of more than £100million won by UK ticket holders.

There are now nine European countries participating - the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland.
