Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, said: “Brilliant news, someone in the UK has scooped a life-changing £181 million! That makes this the biggest win of 2026 so far and the third biggest UK National Lottery winner of all time.
“With that size fortune, this lucky winner would have wealth on a par with the likes of Adele (worth an estimated £170 million). Just imagine the kind of lifestyle that could unlock!
“Anyone who bought a ticket should take a moment to check it carefully – you could be the winner we’re looking for.”
Friday’s jackpot now stands at an estimated £14 million.
