It could be YOU! £186M EuroMillions jackpot is up for grabs tomorrow night’s draw which could see UK’s biggest-ever lottery winner made richer than Adele

• The cash could put a British winner above Adele on the Sunday Times Rich List
• The haul would topple the British record which was set only two months ago
• Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who scooped a record-breaking £184 million EuroMillions jackpot, are the current holders

The UK’s biggest lottery winner could be crowned tomorrow when a £186 million EuroMillions jackpot goes up for grabs.

The cash could put a British winner above both Harry Styles and Adele on the Sunday Times Rich List – with the prize equivalent to winning Wimbledon 93 times.

The haul would topple the British record prize which was set only two months ago when Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who scooped a record-breaking £184 million EuroMillions jackpot.

It would also make the UK the luckiest EuroMillions nation, overtaking France’s 117 wins to date since the first draw in February 2004. There have already been three UK EuroMillions’ jackpot winners this year alone.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: ‘I knew my team had been busy with big winners but I didn’t realise what an amazing run of EuroMillions luck the UK has had.

‘It’s great to travel to every corner of the country making new millionaires, and we know that EuroMillions makes the biggest winners. These dream-come-true jackpots not only transform the lives of the winners but also enable them to support the friends, family and communities around them.

‘I hope we are again celebrating reaching the top of the league table after Tuesday’s draw and we look forward to supporting any big UK winners we create.’

If Tuesday’s winner were to take inspiration from Mr Thwaite, who went straight on to Rightmove after his win to look at multimillion-pound homes, they would find that they could purchase every London property listed on luxury property company Christie’s International Real Estate website, and still have well over £100 million to spare.

If the prize money was laid out end to end in £50 notes it would be 36 miles (58km) long, stretching all the way from London to Edinburgh, with enough remaining to climb up Arthur’s Seat and down again.

A total of 14 UK National Lottery winners have bagged prizes of more than £100 million so far.

EuroMillions players are urged to buy their tickets before 7.30pm on Tuesday to be in with a chance to win the life-changing amount of money.

Camelot said the jackpot will be capped at 230 million euros, which the operator estimates will be reached in the draw this Friday, July 8, if no-one wins on Tuesday.

The Thwaites also bought a second-hand Volvo for £38,000 with their winnings, it has been revealed.

Last month, it was revealed they were planning a round-the-world trip to celebrate their big win – but they have made a more modest purchase for now. 

Pictures have emerged of the couple arriving at their £650,000 Grade II-listed home with their second-hand Volvo.

A neighbour told the Sun: ‘They’re mega lottery winners but first and foremost they’re down-to-earth people who have worked hard their whole lives.  

‘The car is smart, respectable and sensible — just like Joe and Jess.

‘You might expect them to go and buy a Ferrari or a Bugatti. Instead of living the high life, they’re pressing ahead with their original plan to do the house up and make sure things are sorted as they’d planned originally.

‘The fact that they’ve not splurged it all on sports cars or booze shows what great people they are.’  

Joe Thwaite, 49 and Jess Thwaite, 44, from Gloucester bought their EuroMillions Lucky Dip ticket on the National Lottery App and the next morning received an email saying they had good news

Joe previously admitted that he was ‘not a great car person’ and said his dream car was a Skoda Superb estate ‘because of the amount of stuff you can get in the boot’.

The lucky pair, who have been married for 11 years, said they wanted to go public as they did not want to put the ‘burden’ of keeping the secret on others. 

Joe is a communications sales engineer, while Jess manages the business side of a hairdressing salon she runs with her mother Caroline and sister Rebecca in the affluent riverside town of Tewkesbury. 

They have eight-year-old twin daughters together, while Mr Thwaite has two grown up children currently at university from a previous marriage.
