An eye-watering £180million EuroMillions jackpot is up for grabs this Tuesday, June 25. If a single UK player scoops the entire amount, they would find themselves wealthier than some of the biggest names in the music industry.
The lucky winner would surpass the net worth of UK music sensation Harry Styles, who has an estimated fortune of £175million according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
The winner would also outstrip the wealth of another British icon, Adele, whose net worth is estimated at £170million by the Rich List. Adele's fortune has been amassed over her 16-year career, while Tuesday's fortunate winner could pocket £10million more in just one night.
The lucky individual would instantly become The National Lottery's third largest UK winner ever, falling just £4million short of the second largest UK winners, Joe and Jess Thwaite, who bagged £184million in May 2022. The fortunate ticket-holder would also be the 19th UK winner of a prize exceeding £100million, and it would mark the second EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK this year, following Richard and Debbie Nuttall's £61million win on Tuesday, January 30.
To give you a sense of the magnitude of the jackpot, if the £180million were laid out in a line of £50 notes, it would stretch a staggering 525.6km - from Southampton all the way past Newcastle. If the £50 notes were stacked high, they would form a towering 478.8m pile of money - equivalent to over three Great Pyramids of Giza.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at The National Lottery, expressed: "Wow, this is an enormous amount of money and one lucky UK ticket-holder could bag the lot and find themselves as rich as some of the most iconic names in music."
"This massive amount could not only change a winners' life, but would make a huge difference to their friends, family and community. My team and I have the champagne on ice, ready and waiting to support our next big winner as they start their life-changing journey. EuroMillions players should grab their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning this incredible prize."
EuroMillions participants are encouraged to secure their tickets before 7.30pm this Tuesday for a shot at the grand prize.
