One Brit could become richer than UK pop royalty overnight as the EuroMillions has one of its buggest jackpots ever this week.
A stunning £130million is all to play for in Friday's draw, meaning a single winner could land the seventh biggest prize in the game's history. It could make one player richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and former members of One Direction.
With the Training Season singer's net worth of an estimated £75million, while Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan both sit on fortunes of £54million, Friday's jackpot winner will easily edge out all three in rich lists. The life-changing sum won't be enough to beat the higher pop wealth eschelons of Harry Styles however, who according to The Sunday Times Rich List is reportedly worth £150million.
Players will also have a chance to win 10 guaranteed seven-figures sums in the Millionaire Maker draw, Lottery organisers claim. EuroMillions, played every Tuesday and Friday, costs £2 a draw and players have to pick four numbers and two Lucky Stars.
A jackpot winner on Friday will become the 19th UK winner to scoop a prize over the £100million mark, and the second EuroMillions jackpot won this year after Richard and Debbie Nuttall scooped £61million in January.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Friday’s EuroMillions draw is an extra exciting one with a staggering amount of money up for grabs. One winner could be walking away with the entire £130M jackpot prize, not to mention another 10 UK winners who will be bagging a guaranteed £1M each.
“It’s going to be a busy few weeks for me and my team with all of this millionaire-making! We have our fingers crossed for all UK players and we are on standby to support all our winners as they start their life-changing journey. Make sure you grab your ticket early!”
Players are urged to get their EuroMillions tickets before 7.30pm this Friday (26 April) to be in with a chance of winning one of the fantastic prizes on offer. Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.
