Rich list beckons if UK winner nets £141m EuroMillions prize
Players have until 7.30pm on Tuesday to buy a ticket.
A £141 million EuroMillions jackpot could make a single ticket-holder the UK’s third biggest ever lottery winner.
The mammoth estimated jackpot for Tuesday night’s draw would leave a single player who matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers the 793rd richest person on the Sunday Times Rich List.
Players have until 7.30pm on Tuesday to buy a ticket, Camelot said.
The biggest lottery win in the UK – and across Europe – remains that of Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, who scooped a £161,653,000 EuroMillions jackpot in July 2011.
Andy Carter, the National Lottery’s senior winners’ adviser, said: “With a £141 million win, you could live the life normally reserved for the rich and famous, including rock stars.
“It would afford anyone the kind of lifestyle that most can only dream of.
“EuroMillions players help raise around £30 million for National Lottery Good Causes each and every week.
“This supports projects big and small across the country, including funding everything from local community projects to some of Team GB’s athletes competing at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.”
