The EuroMillions jackpot has hit a massive £208 million, but what if no one wins it?
When the jackpot reaches its cap — currently €240 million (around £208M) — it stops growing. It can stay at that level for up to four more draws. If there’s still no jackpot winner after the fifth draw, the full amount is shared with winners in the next prize tier, like those who matched five numbers and one Lucky Star.
So even if no one hits all the winning numbers, someone still walks away with a huge payout.
And if a winner doesn’t claim their prize? In the UK, they have 180 days — after that, the money goes to The National Lottery’s Good Causes Fund to support community projects.
In short: the money doesn’t disappear — it must be won and eventually goes to someone (or something) meaningful.
