National Lottery operator Allwyn said this was the biggest prize the UK has seen to date.

Players can watch the draw live tonight at 8:45pm on the National Lottery website or on YouTube.

An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million in July 2022.

Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw in May 2022.

The UK’s third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177 million jackpot in the draw on November last year.

The biggest so far this year was £83 million which was won in January.

Tonight’s winner could end up richer than Adele with the £280 million figure topping the singer’s £184million ($250 million) net worth.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn said: “We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery’s biggest wins list.”

It comes after no one was lucky enough to pick up the £199 million jackpot on Tuesday.

Multiple rollovers have increased the prize draw up for grabs tonight.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 12, 15, 38, 47, 48, plus lucky stars 05, 07.

If tonight’s jackpot is scooped by one person they will instantly top the National Lottery’s biggest wins list.

Everything you need to know about Lottery and EuroMillions

Lottery wins often go unclaimed and prize draws are sometimes not won by anyone, leading to a rollover.

Currently there are four National Lottery winners yet to claim £1 million prizes.

Three are winning Millionaire Maker codes, one was bought in Stevenage, one in Liverpool and one in Wiltshire.

If prizes aren’t claimed roughly six months after being won then the cash is invested back into the National Lottery.

Leinster face Glasgow tomorrow in a crucial semi-final clash in Dublin

The Ireland lock was speaking as Leo Cullen’s side gear up for another high-stakes clash, this time at home against reigning champions Glasgow Warriors at Aviva Stadium.

Leinster faced media and fan backlash after another year of European heartbreak after being heavily fancied to win the premier club rugby competion.

But Ryan insist the don’t care about the nay sayers as their primer focus in now firmly on the URC title.

Speaking to the media ahead of Saturday’s clash, Ryan was in no mood to speak about the past.

He stated: “We’re try to ignore it, you know what I mean. Everyone has an opinion now, and that’s just the way it is”

“For us, it comes back to ourselves. What matters most is what we think as players and coaches as how the games have gone.

“We’ve some of the best coaches in the world at this club. Ultimately we are our own harshest critics..I think.

“We’ve put our hands up – the performance wasn’t good enough – especially against Northampton. But we have to move on now, we’re into knockout rugby.

“Now it’s just about getting excited about this week, playing at home in a semi-final.

“If you told us in July that we’d have had a home semi, we’d have bitten your hand off. So, the guys are excited to get going again.”

Meanwhile, Lions duo Josh van der Flier and Hugo Keenan are absent for Leinster tomorrow.

But boss Leo Cullen insisted that both are okay for the Lions, and could resume training next week IF Leinster can secure a final date at Croke Park. 

Josh Van der Flier limped out of last week’s 33-21 victory over Scarlets with a hamstring issue.

While full-back Hugo Keenan has a slight calf issue that flared up during the week. 

And that meant both miss out and join fellow Lions’ Tadhg Furlong and Garry Ringrose (both calf) in the treatment room, though all four are expected to be fit soon.

Global superstar Nelly kicked off the European leg of his Where The Party At tour last month.

He is making his way to through the UK shows this week. 

The 50-year-old was joined by other big names such as US singer Eve and rapper Fabolous.

He just performed at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena and at The O2 in London.

Some members of the crowd took to social media to share videos of the concert, branding it ‘awful’ and the ‘worst’ they had ever been to.

“Remind me never to see a concert that’s 2-4-1 on tickets- it was watching a child’s talent show,” one user said.

“Was awful wasn’t it,” replied another. 

A third penned: “Is it possible to get a refund ? worst concert I’ve been to”

“I’m a Nelly fan but he was yelling and his hype men drowned him out entirely,” chimed a fourth.

Nelly is still set to play in Manchester and Glasgow before finishing his euro stint in Dublin.

He is a Grammy Award winner and actor best known for Billboard No. 1 hits such as Hot in Herre and Dilemma.

His real name is Cornell Iral Haynes Jr.

The Texas born star spent much of his childhood and adulthood estranged from his father after his parents divorced when he was seven.

He rose to fame in the early 2000s after his debut album Country Grammar sold over 8.4 million copies in the US.

He dominated the hip-hop industry for years and was ranked as the number three Top Artist of the Decade (2000s) Billboard in December 2009.

Marlon Dingle was not happy about Dylan’s friendship with April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan)[/caption]

The character was first introduced to Emmerdale viewers earlier this year when he befriended April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), during her stint being unhoused and living on the streets.

Despite caring for April and becoming good friends, her dad Marlon Dingle, was not a fan on Dylan and resorted to planting drugs on Dylan in a desperate bid to force him out of April’s life.

But his plan backfired dramatically when Dylan ended up overdosing and left to attend rehab.

Emmerdale producers revealed earlier this month that Dylan would be returning to the village, but Amelia, who plays April on the soap gave a hint when exactly fans can expect to see him again.

“April has had an incredibly tough year with what she has been through, with the pregnancy and the homelessness storyline,” she told Mirror Online.

“April and Dylan didn’t leave things on the best terms, but I think what is important now is that he’s back.”

Amelia added: “Who knows what will happen. It will be great to explore that relationship further, I think fans want to see that which is great.”

It’s been a big week for Amelia who took out the gong for Best Young Performer at Thursday’s British Soap Awards.

She managed to win the prize ahead of her brother William Flanagan, who was nominated for playing Joseph Brown on Coronation Street.

Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed Dylan’s return earlier this month.

“Lovely Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, is coming back to the show,” she told media.

“He’s going to be bringing his past back to the village with him. And that’s going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there.”

Laura added: “We’ve got a couple of exciting new castings that are joining us for that story, but I’m not allowed to tell you who they are. Watch this space, because it’s very exciting.”
