NO ONE won the mega-bucks EuroMillions jackpot last night – meaning the cash prize has now rolled over to a whopping £184 MILLION.
Brits missed out on the £174 million bumper rollover draw as no ticket managed to match all five numbers and the two Lucky Stars.
The winning digits were 01, 10, 23, 42, 46 – and the Lucky Star numbers were 03 and 05.
The huge £184 million scoop will now roll over to Tuesday's draw, meaning a new record of £184 million could be collected by a single UK ticketholder.

Tuesday's jackpot could make one lucky Brit
If someone scoops Tuesday's jackpot, it would make them the largest lottery winner after beating the current record win of £170million.
That was won by a player who wanted to remain anonymous on October 8, 2019. They walked off with a cool £170,221,000.
The biggest jackpot win so far this year in the UK was in April when nine rollovers took the jackpot from its starting value of £14m to over £122m before it was won by one anonymous ticket holder
In June, £111,540,000 was won when the jackpot was bumped up for this Superdraw.

Camelot says
No one won the mega-bucks EuroMillions jackpot last night – meaning the cash prize has now rolled over to a whopping £184 MILLION.
The huge £184 million scoop will now roll over to Tuesday's draw, meaning a new record of £184 million could be collected by a single UK ticketholder.
Camelot's Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said: "Tuesday's massive EuroMillions jackpot is an estimated £184 million.
"If one UK winner banks the lot, they would instantly become the UK's biggest ever National Lottery winner. Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning this fabulous prize.
"National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country generating more than £30 million every week.
"Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2 billion has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus."

Biggest jackpot in the history of EuroMillions
The biggest ever jackpot to be won is €190million, which has been won by four different people – including two from Great Britain.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford scooped the €190m (£148.7m) jackpot on August 10, 2012.
Adrian, 41 and 40-year-old Gillian from Haverhill in Suffolk became instant multi-millionaires, but their winnings was only the second highest in Britain thanks to the conversion rate.

‘Britain’s wealthiest couple’

Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Haverhill, Suffolk, picked up £148,656,000 after they played the draw on August, 10, 2012, while Jane Park became Britain’s youngest lottery winner when she scooped up £1 million in 2013.

What are the odds of winning?
Euro-millions.com says the odds of picking five numbers and the two Lucky Stars is 1 in 139,838, 160.
Matching five numbers and one star has odds of 1 in 6,991,908.
There is a 1 in 22 chance of matching two numbers in the draw.
The approximate overall odds of winning a prize in EuroMillions are 1 in 13.
According to the EuroMillions website, the chances of winning the UK Millionaire Maker game can be estimated as 1 in 1,900,000.
But winning in this game depends entirely on the number of the payslips sold so the odds therefore fluctuate.

'We won, then gave our winnings away'
A £115million jackpot is probably enough to not just change your life, but the lives of everyone you’ve ever cared about too.
Which is probably why Frances and Patrick Connolly decided to give over half of their winnings to 175 people.
“We won £114,969,775.70 and we have given away more than half,” Frances said last year.
“That’s £60million-worth of love. And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can’t think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven’t smiled.”

Callie Rogers campaigning
Callie is now campaigning for the government to raise the age limit for the National Lottery.
Gambling is now more popular among children than skateboarding and campaigners believe an age limit of 16 entices young people into a habit of betting.
Callie feels she was too young to cope with the pressure and wants to stop other kids going through the same problems she faced.
She told the Mirror: “You are only a 16, with all that responsibility. At that age, you can get the best advice ever. But you are not in a position to listen. I was too young.
“I suffer from such bad anxiety when I am going to meet new people. It preys on my mind, what a new partner’s family will think of me, or even new friends. I still get abuse just because of who I am.”

The order (Continued…)
Donna previously revealed how Gareth, who told her he was separated, splurged on taking her to glitzy events and luxury holidays.
She claimed he told her their relationship had to be kept secret as he didn't want to give his wife ammunition if they were to divorce.
But Catherine spotted the pair on TV at an Anthony Joshua fight in 2017 and they separated later that year.
Donna later said she felt "wounded" when the relationship ended and Gareth stopped talking to her.
She was previously slapped with an injunction banning her from spilling the beans in her memoir.

What if
Euromillions winner Adrian Bayford is “consumed with guilt” as his son fights for life after a horror quad bike smash, friends say.
The lad, 13, was hit by a car driven by his sister, 15, in the sprawling grounds of their Cambridgeshire mansion.
The Sun exclusively revealed details of the horror smash as the boy is fighting for his life in intensive care with his family at his bedside.
His sister raised the alarm after her brother was flung from his machine and through a fence.
It is understood the car and quad bike were gifts bought for the kids by former postie Adrian, 49.

Gran escapes jail
A gran stole £33,000 worth of Lotto scratchcards from a corner shop while working behind the till, a court heard.
Trusted shop assistant Sheila Hancock, 60, took thousands of cards from the display without paying for them.
And if she saw it was a winning card after scratching off the silver foil she took the prize money out of the till, it was said.
Puzzled owner Virajkumar Patel couldn’t understand why his busy store wasn’t making a profit despite staying open throughout the pandemic.
So he checked CCTV and was horrified when he saw Hancock repeatedly helping herself to cards and winnings. York crown court heard she had become addicted to the “easy” gambling and got away with the deceit from January 2020 until April of this year.

What happens if EuroMillions prize money isn’t claimed?
If no UK players come forward within 180 days then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated while it is held in trust, goes to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
The National Lottery have said: “Our players change the lives of individuals as well as communities by raising, on average, over £33 million for National Lottery-funded projects every week.”

How does the National Lottery work?
The National Lottery raises money to go to many ‘good causes’ and have helped give out numerous grants to those that need it most.
On their website they state: “We retain around just 1% of revenue in profit, while around 95% of total revenue goes back to winners and society. More so, we run one of the most cost-efficient major lotteries in Europe, with around 4% of total revenue spent on operating costs.
“To date, National Lottery players have helped to raise over £43 billion for Good Causes, with more than 635,000 individual awards made across the UK – the equivalent of more than 225 lottery grants in every UK postcode district.”

'I sill shop in Primark despite winning £1.8m’
A NATIONAL Lottery winning dinner lady still lives in her council house, shops in Primark and drives a Kia despite bagging £1.8million.
Trish Emson, 51, explained money or her millionaire status did not change her or her partner Graham Norton, also 51, who still works as a decorator.
The down-to-earth pair have even managed to keep their teenage son Benjamin, 17, in check – and don’t even give him pocket money.
The modest mum, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: “Being rich doesn’t make you posh or a better person.
“I don’t like showing off and bragging about money and I can’t be posh anyway.
“To look at me you wouldn’t think I was a millionaire, but if I have to dress up I feel fake, I prefer my jeans,” she told The Mirror.
