A lucky Briton could scoop up the UK’s largest ever lottery prize with a jackpot of £202million if they match all numbers in an upcoming draw.
The potential winner of Friday's record EuroMillions draw would top the ranks of the biggest wins by UK players.
As nobody won the £182m EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday, the £182million prize has rolled over to March 28.
If claimed, it would become the largest jackpot ever given to a UK winner - besting the £195million collected by an anonymous ticket-holder on July 19, 2022.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said: “This Friday night promises to be a massive one for EuroMillions players, as the country's biggest ever winner could be made.
“Get your tickets early as there is an astounding estimated jackpot of £202million up for grabs.
“A single UK winner of this jaw-dropping prize would be crowned The National Lottery's biggest winner of all time.

If no one wins this draw, then the prize will increase to £208,576,250.
This is the jackpot’s cap and no more money will be added to the windfall.
Earlier this week, a previous Euromillions winner announced he would not be following through with his spending plans.
Adrian Bayford, a former postman, scooped £148million on the lottery in 2012 with his then-wife Gillian.

PALast year, the 54-year-old set out plans to transform 20 acres of his vast estate into a “leisure destination”.
The proposed development included education facilities, a train ride, a renewable energy-themed play barn and a maze.
The plans were widely criticised by the parish council, who raised concerns about flooding risks, increased traffic and detrimental effects on the nearby walled garden.
While the father-of-two believed his park would have significant economic benefits - creating 13 full-time jobs and offering commercial units for local entrepreneurs at affordable rates - he decided to withdraw the plans.
