    Britain's biggest Lotto millionaire could be crowned tomorrow with a whopping £201m jackpot up for grabs in Friday's draw (December 8).

    A single player taking home the entire sum would see them set a new record and become Britain’s biggest ever National Lottery winner. They would knock last year’s record-breaking £195.7m anonymous ticket-holder off the top spot, and push Joe and Jess Thwaite’s £184.2m win down the list.

    The jackpot would be the first ever £200m plus win, but the 19th over £100m in the UK since EuroMillions began in 2004. There have already been six EuroMillions jackpots won in the UK in 2023, banking these players a total of £298m.

    A seventh win tonight would take jackpot winnings to almost £500m and would propel a single winner into the world of the rich and famous. Their fortune would rival music, film and sporting royalty and be worth more than singer Adele (£156m) and golfer Rory McIlroy (£200m).

    In fact, they would be richer than the combined wealth of the wizarding world of Harry Potter trio, leading star Daniel Radcliffe (£87M), the real hero of the story Emma Watson (£67m) and the infamous ginger bloke Rupert Grint (£39m). The winner would even be worth three times more than the king of Christmas – Michael Bublé (£65.).

    And it would even put you on an equal footing with global footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo… for a year anyway. He earns around £200m per year from his gold-laden Saudi Arabia footballing contract.

    Andy Carter, of The National Lottery, said: “This jackpot has finally cracked the £200m mark, after getting so close last year. It is jumbo sized and would immediately propel a single winner into a life of luxury.

    “Being able to treat family and friends is top of many winners’ wish lists and with this you could make their dreams come true as well as your own.”
