Euromillion results for June 17 as £208m jackpot up for grabs
A fourth lucky person is in for potentially bagging an eye-watering amount of cash in the National Lottery EuroMillions draw tonight, with £208million up for grabs. Tuesday's results, June 17, saw the large sum rolled over once more.
If the jackpot is not claimed, there will be a Must Be Won draw this coming Friday, when the prize fund would roll down into the price tier where there is at least one winner.
It would be the largest lottery win ever in the UK if a single ticket holder is lucky enough to get all five main numbers and the two Lucky Stars.
If a lucky ticket holder matches all five numbers and two lucky stars, they will be winner of the fourth largest jackpots ever paid out.
An anonymous player holds top spot after winning £170m in October 2019. The largest prize to have been given away so far this year has been £109 million - in a Superdraw on February 4 and won by a single player.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn operator of The National Lottery, said it is the kind of money everyone dreams about when they buy a lottery ticket. He said: 'From private islands and private jets to really making a monumental difference to causes close to your heart, a £208 million EuroMillions jackpot win would mean pretty much anything is within reach."
Without further delay, here are the results for tonight's National lottery.

Huge £145m EuroMillions jackpot to be won TONIGHT – just hours before Lottery shut down for days
A MASSIVE £145 million EuroMillions jackpot is up for grabs tonight just hours before the lottery shuts down for days. From 11pm on Saturday, all draw-based game entries and in-store prize claims will be suspended as the National Lottery undergoes a major technology upgrade. Services will be down until Monday morning - including the National Lottery app and website - in what has been called the biggest system overhaul in more than three decades. Players participating in tonight's £145 million draw or this weekend's Lotto and Thunderball games have been urged to act quickly to avoid disappointment. Keen participants must pick up their ticket before Saturday night's deadline. And for those looking to increase their odds, top lottery expert Simon Horne exclusively tells Sun readers how to boost their chances of bagging the whole lot. From picking your lucky numbers to whether you should join a syndicate, there's a heap of practical ways to boost your chances of getting richer overnight. Of course, the only real way of increasing your chances of winning is to buy more tickets. Make sure you gamble responsibly. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a money limit before playing. If you need advice, visit or Is a syndicate worth it? A lottery syndicate is when a group of people put money into a pot for lottery tickets. There will be one person in charge - the syndicate manager - who will buy tickets and share out any winnings out among the group. Playing as part of a group could be a good way of boosting your chances of winning, as Simon, from The National Lottery operator Allwyn UK, explains. "If you join a syndicate of 10 people, then there's 10 tickets and 10 chances of winning, so there's clearly a greater chance of winning compared to if you just bought your own ticket," he said. The syndicate manager will need to register the group and list themselves as the person in charge with The National Lottery. Make sure to write all the terms and conditions of the agreement down, and get each person to sign it, said Simon. "If there's any confusion or complications down the line, then you can refer back to the agreement and then everyone knows where they stand," he said. The big downside to consider being part of a syndicate is that you'll need to equally split the pot between each person. So, if you were part of a syndicate of four people, splitting the £145million jackpot four ways would leave you with over £36million each - although that's still big winnings to walk away with. Pick YOUR lucky numbers You might think that picking up the most common numbers may mean you are more likely to win. The number 20 has been drawn the most at 111 times, according to which tracks lottery results. That's followed by the number 21 and 23, which has been drawn 109 times, then 42 (107 times) then 29 (104 times). The most common Lucky Stars are 3, which has been drawn 181 times and 2, which has been drawn 176 times. But you're better off picking whichever numbers you feel are best, said Simon. That's because, statistically, each number has an equal chance of being drawn. Many people pick their birthday numbers because they think they are lucky. "We all have lucky numbers - I know plenty of players who lean on lucky numbers, which could be phone numbers or numbers passed down from family members," said Simon. "Every set of numbers has the same chance of coming out. "The best strategy to play is the one that you think will bring you luck." Monitor your numbers Not sure your lucky numbers are working for you? You could keep an eye on how often your lucky numbers are being drawn, and if they're not coming up as often as you would like, you can try a different tact. The National Lottery app stores all your tickets from draws you have entered. The app is free to download from either the App Store on iPhone, or the Google Play store on Android devices. That means you can go back in and check your most profitable numbers. You could make a spreadsheet of how often your lucky numbers are being drawn, and every three months, see whether it's worth keeping them, or ditching them for alternatives. According to the unluckiest Euromillions numbers are You might want to avoid "unlucky" numbers - which are the ones drawn the least. These are 22 (66 times), 40 (74 times) and 18 and 43 (78 times). The National Lottery app is free to download from either the App Store or Google Play. Timing matters Timing matters when it comes to buying your ticket, said Simon. If you leave it to the last minute, then there's a risk that you run out of time to buy your ticket. You need to buy your ticket before 7:30pm tonight - otherwise you'll miss out. "My main advice is not to leave it too late - don't rush into the newsagents or load up your app at 7:25pm," he said. "You might not be able to upload money onto your online account, or buy your ticket, in time and you could miss the draw."
