Tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot stands at a jaw-dropping £144 million.
If a single ticket-holder scoops the jackpot, this would create the UK’s third biggest National Lottery winner ever.
According to The Sunday Times Rich List 2018, the winner would sit alongside Ozzy and Sharon Ozbourne (£145m), Adele (£140m), Calvin Harris (£140M) and Charlie Watts (£140m).
If the lucky winner wanted to upgrade their Valentine’s Day gift retrospectively they could do worse than looking at some of the most expensive Valentine’s Day presents ever sold. The heart-shaped 1001 Nights Diamond Purse by House of Mouawad contains 4,517 yellow, pink and transparent diamonds, adding up to a whopping 38,192 carats.
Retailing at a mere £2.7m (3.1m Euros), it would be love at first sight for the lucky recipient. Or how about the Chopard 201 Carat watch, containing 874 diamonds, which would surely prove your love with a price tag of £17.5M (20M Euros)?
If the winner then wanted to reward themselves after their generosity towards their loved one they could look into buying their own sun-drenched private island, perfect for romance or a sun-filled break at any time of the year.
Spectabilis Island is available in the Bahamas for £47.7m. It has 460 acres with ample room for a private air strip or you could build your own helipad.
Andy Carter, The National Lottery’s Senior Winners’ Adviser said the winner would have more than enough to treat all their nearest and dearest.
“EuroMillions players help raise the £30m plus that The National Lottery gives to Good Causes each and every week. This supports projects big and small across the country, including funding everything from local community projects to saving the nation’s heritage,” he added.
UK EuroMillions players have well and truly been on a lucky streak in recent months. In the lead up to Christmas 2018 Andrew Clark from Boston finally came forward after six weeks to claim his £76.3m EuroMillions jackpot, while Patrick and Frances Connolly became the UK’s fourth biggest ever National Lottery winners when they scooped the entire £114.9m EuroMillions jackpot on New Year’s Day.
Currently the biggest lottery win in the UK is Colin and Chris Weir from Largs who won £161m on EuroMillions in 2011.
