«Breaking News» Third-highest Euromillions jackpot is up for grabs as there were no winners of Tuesday’s draw

The third-highest ever Euromillions jackpot is up for grabs after there were no winners of Tuesday's draw, bolstering Friday's prize to a cool £144million.   

With no EuroMillions player matching all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers in Tuesday's draw, the jackpot on Friday is an estimated £144 million and one lucky player could be set to scoop the jackpot, as long as they get their tickets early, according to officials at the National Lottery.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said: 'The EuroMillions jackpot rolls on to an amazing estimated £144million after no ticket matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers in tonight's draw (Tuesday 12 February).

The National Lottery has urged players to buy their tickets early in order to be in a chance of winning

'We urge all players to get their tickets early to ensure they are in with a chance of winning this incredible jackpot on Friday night.'

Tuesday's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were 06, 34, 36, 41 and 50 while the Lucky Stars were 01 and 05.

UK players have been enjoying a lucky streak in recent months with Patrick and Frances Connolly, from Moira, in Northern Ireland, scooping almost £115million in the EuroMillions jackpot on New Year's Day to become the UK's fourth-biggest lottery winners.

Their win followed builder Andrew Clark, 51, from Boston, Lincolnshire, discovering in November he had won £76 million, six weeks after the draw.

In July 2011, Colin and Chris Weir, from Ayrshire, became the biggest lottery winners in the UK, and across Europe, when they scooped more than £161 million.

Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, took home more than £148 million in August 2012 while the biggest prize awarded in the country in 2018 was £121 million, handed to an anonymous winner in April.

Tuesday's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers were 16, 21, 26, 36, 38 and the Thunderball was 08.

Who is the biggest ever UK lottery winner? Two couples and a former car mechanic top list

Here are the six previous biggest UK winners of the EuroMillions draw so far

1. In July 2011, Colin and Chris Weir became Europe's biggest lottery winners when they scooped more than £161million.

The couple, who have been married for 30 years, said they were ‘not scared’ of the wealth because they were going to have ‘so much fun’ with the money.

The pair, a retired TV cameraman and a retired psychiatric nurse, from Largs, in Ayrshire, said their children Carly, a photography student, and Jamie, a call centre worker, would be bought their own homes and cars.

The family made a £1million donation to the SNP shortly after winning.

2. Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, took home more than £148 million in August 2012.

The marriage ended just 15 months into their new jackpot winning lives, citing the stress of the money as the reason they needed to split.

At the time, a spokesman for Mrs Bayford said: 'Gillian Bayford confirms that her marriage to Adrian has broken down irretrievably and they have separated.'

It came after Mrs Bayford was forced to deny she had an affair with the couple's gardener, Chris Tovey.

3. An anonymous ticket-holder took home £121m

4. Patrick and Frances Connolly from County Armagh scooped the entire £115million EuroMillions jackpot on New Year's Day 2019

5. An unnamed ticket-holder claimed just over £113million in October 2010, and chose not go public. 

6. Neil Trotter, from south London, won nearly £108million, going from former car mechanic to multimillionaire in March 2014.

Neighbours in Croydon described he and partner Nicky Ottaway moved out ‘almost overnight’ after they scooped the EuroMillions jackpot last March.

Mr Trotter admitted at the time that he was like his namesake, Del Boy Trotter from Only Fools And Horses.

7. A couple from Cambridgeshire, Dave and Angela Dawes, won more than £101million on their third go on the EuroMillions draw in October 2011.

Mr Dawes said he 'didn't sleep a wink' the night of the win, as it was too late to call Camelot after the couple checked their numbers.

Last year, the couple were taken to court by his son, an Afghanistan veteran, Michael Dawes, 32, who said he was 'ungenerous in spirit'.

But a judge ruled the millionaire father does not need to keep bailing out his son, who burnt through £1.6million in two years, and came back for more, failing to heed his stepmother's advice to stop eating at the Ritz and go to McDonald's instead.

8. A UK winner got a £93 million payout in June 2015, but decided to remain anonymous.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
