The Euromillions jackpot of £191 million has just been drawn.
If the winner received the full inheritance, they would be even wealthier than Adele, who is now believed to be worth £150 million.
Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom all participate in the lottery game.
If a single UK ticket holder wins the full jackpot, they would become the UK’s biggest-ever winner, dethroning Gloucestershire couple Joe and Jess Thwaite, who won a record-breaking £184 million only two months ago.
It comes after participants failed to correctly guess all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers in Tuesday’s £186 million draw, resulting in the jackpot being rolled over.
The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers for tonight are: 28, 31, 35, 43, 46.
The Lucky Stars are: 04, 07.
If a UK player matches all of the numbers in Friday’s draw, they will become wealthier than singer Dua Lipa, who is projected to be worth £36 million, and actor James Corden, who is predicted to be worth £50 million.
They may potentially purchase a mansion on Bishops Avenue in north London, known as Billionaires’ Row, where residences have previously sold for approximately £75 million, or the opulent Doughty House in Richmond, south-west London, which is worth £100 million.
The EuroMillions jackpot will be limited if it hits 230 million euros (about £197 million), which is expected to happen in Friday’s draw.
When the jackpot hits its limit, players who match five main numbers and one Lucky Star will get a larger payout since any money that would have gone toward increasing the jackpot is divided among winners in the following prize tier.
If the jackpot hits the ceiling and remains unclaimed, it will remain at 230 million euros for the next four drawings until it must be won in the fifth.
If no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars in a EuroMillions Must Be Won draw, the whole jackpot will roll down into the prize tier with at least one winner, perhaps creating several multi-millionaires.
Tonight’s draw is scheduled to be the first of five capped jackpot drawings. The Must Be Won draw will take place on July 22 if the top prize rolls over for further four draws.
