Someone’s got to win it
With nobody claiming yesterday’s mammoth £195m Euromillions jackpot, this huge cash prize is still up for grabs – and if it’s won by somebody here in the UK, it’d result in the biggest Euromillions payday ever recorded on our soil.
Yesterday’s Euromillions prize totalled an eye-watering €230 million (approximately £195m) and many had bought a ticket in the hopes of bagging this life-changing sum of money.
Unfortunately though, nobody was in luck – which perhaps isn’t that surprising given the odds of winning it are around 139,838,160 to one, according to the Metro.
This does mean that the prize, which translated into pounds equates to an equally-huge payday of around £195m, is still waiting to be claimed during next week’s draw which is due to take place on Tuesday July 19.
While the total jackpot amount won’t change from its already lofty €230m total, what will change is the exchange rate from euros to pounds.
According to some outlets, this means that while the total could fluctuate and ultimately differ from £195m it certainly won’t be any less than £191m which by anyone’s standards is still a lot of money to try and cram in to your wallet.

As the official Euromillions Twitter account explained during a message shared yesterday evening, Friday’s winning numbers were 9, 17, 29, 38 and 39 – with a lucky star balls 7 and 10 rounding out the draw.
However at the time of writing, the full jackpot has yet to be claimed.
This weekend’s rollover continues a trend of no one winning that has lasted more than a fortnight. Open to everyone in Europe alongside all of us here in the UK, if someone on our soil claims this prize, it’ll mark the biggest Euromillions win the country has ever seen.
“Tuesday will be massive with a sizzlingly sensational estimated EuroMillions jackpot of £191 million up for grabs,” said the National Lottery’s Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter.
“Here’s hoping that we’ll be celebrating a record-breaking UK winner alongside record-breaking summer temperatures.”
What would be the first thing you’d buy if you won this week’s Euromillions jackpot?
