A BUMPER £61million jackpot is up for grabs in tonight’s Euromillions.
The whopping amount will change the winner’s life forever – and Brit ticket-holders will be keeping their fingers crossed.
Whoever claims the top prize could splash the cash on any number of luxury items.
They’ll be able to buy outright one of the most expensive properties in London currently listed on Rightmove.
The 12-bed home, in exclusive Mayfair, is on the market for £54.5m – meaning there’ll be cash to spare after.
The stunning Grade II-listed townhouse is one of the area’s first mansions, and was built in 1732.
It boasts a drawing room, terrace and dining room with space for 20 guests, as well as a gym, private swimming pool, sauna and a garage with space for two cars.
Those who’d prefer to splash the cash on a jet-setting lifestyle might prefer to buy their own Gulfstream G650 private jet for £40m.
With a distance range of 7,000 miles they’ll be able to take to the skies anytime – and will never fear sitting next to a screaming baby in a cramped middle seat.
If the winner wants to escape the UK altogether, they might decide to buy Royal Island in the Bahamas.
The stunning isle, which is on the market for £32.3m, has permission for an 18 hole golf course and a major marina.
It already boasts five luxury one-bed beachfront villas with wraparound decks, as well as spa facilities, a restaurant building and a stunning oval-shaped swimming pool.
Tonight’s draw comes after one mystery winner lost £1m late last month.
Punters were urged to check their tickets after someone scooped the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker top prize.
The ticket, with winning code VSHS38986, was bought in Lewisham, south east London, before the draw on January 29.
But the winning ticket-holder missed their six-month deadline – which expired at midnight on July 29.
Camelot’s Andy Carter said: “Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money.
“However, the money will now add to the £36M raised on average each and every week for National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.”
One of the UK’s biggest prizes – an astonishing £175m – was claimed in December 2020. It’s made the winner richer than Adele.
Another previous UK winner walked off with a cool £170m in 2019.
Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in Scotland, netted a huge £161.6m in July 2011.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Haverhill, Suffolk, picked up £148m after they played the draw on August, 10, 2012, while Jane Park became Britain’s youngest lottery winner when she scooped up £1m in 2013.
Sue Davies, 64, bought a lottery ticket to celebrate ending five months of shielding during the pandemic — and won £500,000.
Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k. She’d intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.
