The draw rolled over after no one scooped Tuesday’s top prize.
By Georgia Rowe
Friday’s EuroMillions draw is set to offer an estimated £157 million jackpot — a life-changing sum that would make any UK winner one of the seven biggest National Lottery winners in history.
It would make the winner more wealthy than both pop star Dua Lipa, and football star Harry Kane.
No one scooped Tuesday’s top prize, after the numbers 6, 11, 17, 35, 44 and Lucky Stars 3 and 7 failed to find a match.
The Thunderball draw produced the numbers 23, 25, 32, 35, 38, with the Thunderball 3.
Should a UK ticket-holder match all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars on Friday night, they would secure the largest UK EuroMillions win of the year and rank seventh on the all-time National Lottery rich list.
The jackpot has been rolling over since 11 October, when the most recent EuroMillions win saw a UK player claim £25,701,358.
The UK’s biggest-ever EuroMillions win stands at £195 million, and 19 UK players have taken home prizes topping £100 million since the game first began in 2004.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “What an exciting time for EuroMillions players as Friday night’s jackpot will be an incredible estimated £157M.”
He added that every ticket contributes to good causes, saying: “Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win; it’s a way to contribute to something much bigger.
"Each week, players help generate around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects.”
Friday’s draw takes place at 8.45pm.
The draw rolled over after no one scooped Tuesday’s top prize.

A jackpot of $70 million was up for grabs in Tuesday’s drawing, but the lottery’s organizers say there were no winners of the grand prize.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on November 14, with one ticket from Georgia scooping the top prize of $980 million ($452.2 million cash option).
The next drawing will take place on Friday, Nov. 28, when the jackpot will be $80 million ($36.9 million cash value).

When you play Mega Millions, you need to choose six numbers from two separate pools for the drawing. Players choose five numbers between 1 and 70 for the white balls and one number for a gold ball from 1 to 25.
There are a total of nine ways to win a prize in Mega Millions, ranging from recovering your initial $5 buy-in to the jackpot with the Megaplier included.
All Mega Millions states set the 2nd through 9th prizes at pre-determined amounts, except California, where all prize payouts are based on sales and the number of winners. Starting from the smallest, and thus the highest odds of winning.
If your gold Mega Ball matches the one that is drawn you will breakeven, getting your $2 ticket purchase back. The odds of your ticket matching only the gold Mega Ball is 1 in 37.
If you choose one correct number plus the Mega Ball you’ll bring home $4. The odds more than double to a 1 in 89 chance.
If your ticket matches two numbers and the Mega Ball you’ll get $20 but the odds to get there begin to skyrocket to 1 in 693.
The odds of getting three correct numbers are a bit better at 606 to 1, but you still take home $20.
If you purchase a ticket that matches three numbers and the Mega Ball you’ll finally get back enough money to treat yourself or someone else to something special. The odds to get that $400 in your pocket jump to 1 in 14,547.
The odds of buying a ticket containing four numbers without the Mega Ball more than double again to 38,792 to 1 chance, but so too does the prize at $1,000.
Now the prize really climbs as do the odds for hitting four numbers plus the Mega Ball. If you can overcome the roughly 931,001 to 1 odds you’ll be able to take that holiday you’ve been putting off with the $20,000 prize. You’re twice as lucky, or better said unlucky, to be hit by lightning at this point (500,000 to 1).
To get the $2 million prize you’ll need to match the numbers on the five white balls drawn without the Mega Ball and beat the 12,607,306 to 1 odds.
Everyone who plays the lottery, and many who don’t, think about “the what would I do with all that money?”. The vast majority who do play will keep dreaming with the odds stacked seriously against them with just 302,575,350 to 1 shot of buying a ticket that matches all five numbers and the Mega Ball.
Just about anything that could happen is more likely than winning the jackpot. However if you were to be so lucky, you would get two choices: either receive the prize as an annuity – a series of payments over the years – or as an up-front lump sum.
The Mega Millions annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one to keep up with inflation.
For a jackpot of $100 million, the initial payment would be about $1.5 million, and future annual payments would grow to about $6.2 million.
Although less than the prize announced for the overall pot, the one-time, lump-sum payment is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.

As Florida A&M University’s incoming athletics director John Davis wraps up his time as the current secretary of the Florida Lottery, he’s highlighting a major dollar footprint that benefits students of FAMU – and Bethune-Cookman University. 
During halftime at the Florida Classic on Nov. 22, where rivals FAMU and B-CU played their annual football game that led to B-CU’s 38-34 victory, representatives from the Florida Lottery participated in an on-field check presentation to highlight its $76 million support of both HBCUs (historically Black colleges and universities) to date. The funding goes towards the institutions’ students who are enrolled through the Bright Futures Scholarship Program – a merit-based opportunity funded by the state that awards Florida high school graduates based on their academic achievements.
The co-marketing move comes as Davis, who has been serving as secretary of the Florida Lottery since October 2020 as a Gov. Ron DeSantis appointee, will soon be leaving the position to start his new post as FAMU’s AD on Jan. 5. Although some have hailed Davis’s work at the Lottery, many individuals in the FAMU alumni community questioned his hiring at the university as another executive linked to the DeSantis administration, saying that he lacks experience in athletics administration and at HBCUs.
“We are honored to stand alongside institutions like FAMU and B-CU, and we remain proud to contribute to education across the entire state of Florida,” Davis said in a Nov. 24 Florida Lottery release. “The Florida Classic is more than a game, it’s a celebration of community, culture, and opportunity.”
As FAMU’s new AD, Davis will replace now-former FAMU AD Angela Suggs, who has been named special assistant to FAMU President Marva Johnson and advisor for Intercollegiate Athletics. Her recent appointment comes after she was on paid administrative leave since June after being arrested on fraud and theft charges stemming from her former job, the Florida Sports Foundation. 
A Pahokee native, Davis is a 1994 FSU alumnus with a bachelor’s degree in political science and was on the Seminoles football team from 1989 to 1992, playing with FAMU’s current head basketball coach Charlie Ward during their years as student athletes. He is also a former executive vice president of the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce and a former president of the African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida.
On top of the financial contribution to students’ education in the state, the Florida Lottery also provided scholarship opportunities while sponsoring Ward’s fourth annual Father’s Day Leadership Basketball Clinic earlier this year in June at the Lawson Center on FAMU’s campus, which took place through the Charlie and Tonja Ward Family Foundation.
While the Lottery has contributed more than $76 million to FAMU and B-CU through educational funding supporting students enrolled through Bright Futures, it is unclear how many current students at the universities are Bright Futures recipients. But according to FAMU’s Office of Institutional Research & Analytics, 659 students were recipients of the scholarship program in 2022-2023, which is the most recent data available on the office’s website.
As the Florida Lottery continues to support HBCUs like FAMU and B-CU, the percentage of Hispanic students who are Bright Futures recipients has tripled since the scholarship program started while the percentage of Black students in the program has remained stagnant over the years and hasn’t exceeded more than 7% in the past three decades, according to a 2024 10 Tampa Bay report. Overall, the Florida Lottery is responsible for contributing more than $49 billion to help over 1 million students go to college through the Bright Futures scholarship, and most of the funding for the program comes from the government agency.
As Davis awaits the upcoming transition of becoming FAMU’s AD, his contributions to the Florida Lottery’s financial support toward the education of college students across the state will change to focusing on fundraising efforts for FAMU athletics as part of his new job.

Guyana’s offshore Stabroek Block has revealed about 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
This discovery has turned the once-poor country into one of South America’s top three oil producers in less than a single decade.
Exxon and its partners moved quickly by bringing several FPSOs into operation. Output reached 900,000 barrels per day in 2025, with a target of 1.7 million barrels per day by 2030.
The first production-sharing deal was very generous to Exxon. Because of this, Guyana later changed the rules for new contracts so the country could collect more royalties, taxes, and profit shares.
Guyana, once among South America’s poorest nations, has suddenly become one of its richest due to these discoveries. The key area is the 6.6-million-acre Stabroek Block. ExxonMobil operates it with a 45 percent share. Chevron holds 30 percent, and CNOOC holds 25 percent. Exxon’s first find came in 2015, followed by many more. These finds added up to about 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
The oil is light and sweet, with an API gravity of 31.9 degrees and 0.59 percent sulfur. This makes it attractive in a world trying to limit emissions.
Guyana reached first production only four years after the first discovery. Offshore developments normally take seven to ten years. In nearby Suriname, for example, TotalEnergies’ GranMorgu project will not start operating until 2028, even though it was discovered in 2020.
The Stabroek Block continues to grow fast. By August 2025, Exxon brought its fourth project, Yellowtail, into production. The ONE GUYANA FPSO, which can produce 250,000 barrels per day, is now running at full capacity. In November 2025, Guyana’s total output from Stabroek reached 900,000 barrels per day. This made it the third-largest oil producer in South America, behind Brazil and Venezuela.
In only ten years, Guyana went from no oil production to nearly one million barrels per day. It passed Ecuador, Colombia, and Argentina. Production will keep rising. Exxon is developing four more projects with a combined capacity of 940,000 barrels per day. This will lift total production to 1.7 million barrels per day by 2030, which would make Guyana the region’s second-largest producer.
Chevron has said the block may hold more oil than the current 11-billion-barrel estimate. Exxon is also still drilling. In June 2025, it began drilling the Hamlet-1 prospect in the southeast. It also started the Lukanani-2 appraisal well to study a 2022 discovery.
The Exxon-led group received highly favorable terms from Guyana in its original production sharing agreement. The royalty rate was only two percent, applied only to “cost oil.” Seventy-five percent of all oil was also classified as cost oil. Revenue from that portion went back to the companies. Only the remaining 25 percent was treated as profit oil, and that was split evenly with the government.
Guyana had reasons for agreeing to such generous terms. Before the Liza-1 discovery, more than sixty years of drilling had failed to find commercial oil offshore. Even though experts believed the basin could contain more than 30 billion barrels, the risk still seemed high. The generous PSA encouraged companies to drill anyway.
After international criticism of the deal, Guyana changed its future contract model. Cost oil was capped at 65 percent. Royalty rates were raised to 10 percent, and a 10 percent corporate tax was added. No future deal will match the terms of the Stabroek Block. That block remains highly profitable, with an average breakeven cost of about $30 per barrel, one of the lowest in the region.
