UK's record EuroMillions prize of £181.5million ROLLS OVER to Friday with no one scooping all the numbers in tonight's draw
The largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot worth an estimated £181.5million is still up for grabs after no-one scooped the top prize in Tuesday's draw.
The jackpot has now reached its cap, meaning any prizes in the next winning tier will be boosted for the next draw on Friday.
If a single UK ticket-holder takes home the entire £181.5million in Friday's draw they will shoot to the top of the National Lottery Rich List, ahead of last year's £170 million anonymous winner.
Tonight's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 01, 04, 21, 24, 46. The Lucky Stars were: 02, 12.

If a UK player were to bank the jackpot, recent research shows that they would be likely to use their new found fortune to help others by making lots of other people millionaires, according to the National Lottery.
