What happens if no one wins tonight’s £208m Euromillions jackpot? – Yahoo News New Zealand

Manage your account

The biggest lottery prize the UK has ever seen is set to be won this week, meaning one or potentially several lucky ticket holders will see their lives changed overnight.
The jackpot for the draw on Tuesday will be £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK if won by a single ticket-holder, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million.
Under the current rules, once the total amount has reached its cap and if there is no winner, it stays at this value for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw.
This means that if there is no winner tonight, Friday 20 June will see a Must Be Won draw, where the money is guaranteed to be handed out.
In the Must Be Won draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star.
The prize money could then be split between multiple winners, with several ticket holders walking away with multi-million pound jackpots.
However, if one lucky winner was to secure the entire fortune, they would instantly become richer than the likes of pop star Dua Lipa and England football captain Harry Kane.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn – operator of The National Lottery, said: “Everyone dreams of that huge win when they buy their National Lottery ticket. What a win like this can do for you, your nearest and dearest and the wider community really is incredible.
“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.
“All you have to do to be in with a chance of actually living the dream is to simply buy a EuroMillions ticket. Good luck to all UK EuroMillions players in this Tuesday’s draw.”

I did not have an official iPhone sock on my 2025 bingo card – Trusted Reviews

If you purchase through links on our site, we may earn a commission. <a href="https://www.trustedreviews.com/info/trusted-reviews-ethics-policy-3521647#how-we-make-money">Learn more.</a></div>         <br><strong>If you’re as old as I am and remember your OG iPod fondly, you’ll probably remember the iPod Sock.&nbsp;</strong><br>They were a set of multi-coloured cotton knit socks introduced back in 2004 to protect iPods from damage during travel, and were on sale all the way until 2012.<br>They were essentially what they sounded like – a simple knitted pouch for your iPod – and even Steve Jobs himself jokingly described the accessory as a “revolutionary new product” at its reveal. That’s a level of self-awareness you rarely see from Apple these days.&nbsp;<br>Well, it looks like the iPod Sock now has a – much, <em>much</em> more expensive – spiritual successor in the form of the iPhone Pocket.&nbsp;<br>Designed in collaboration with Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, this limited-edition kitted sling is designed to carry not only your iPhone but also AirPods and other small accessories.&nbsp;<br>Much like its inspiration, the new iPhone Pocket is a stretchy pocket, albeit an elongated one, made from a ribbed, elastic textile. The fashion house’s design director, Yoshiyuki Miyamae, says it’s inspired by the concept of a “piece of cloth,” but we all know what it’s <em>really</em> based on.&nbsp;<br>There are two versions of the Pocket available – one with a short strap and another with a long strap – that allow you to wear the accessory in a number of different ways, whether handheld, tied onto bags or, with the longer strap, worn across the body like a strap.&nbsp;<br>In true Apple fashion, the Pocket is available in a variety of colours to match and complement the colours of its recent iPhone collection, though the shades depend on the length of the strap you choose.&nbsp;<br>The shorter strap is available in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black, while the longer alternative comes in sapphire, cinnamon, and black.&nbsp;<br>The bigger shock for me is just <em>how much</em> these accessories cost. While the OG iPod Sock would only set you back $29, the iPhone Pocket retails at $149.95 and $229.95 for the short and long variants, respectively.&nbsp;<br>I must say, I did <em>not</em> have this on my 2025 bingo card. In a world where phones can cost over £1000/$1000 – including Apple’s iPhone – most are instead focused on keeping them safe and secure. But not Apple.&nbsp;<br>The iPhone is increasingly becoming more of a fashion accessory, highlighted not only by the new Pocket but also by the crossbody strap released alongside the iPhone 17 – but the world is what the world is, and there are plenty of unscrupulous individuals who’d take advantage of an iPhone in easy grasp.<br>I think I’ll be keeping my phone in my pocket, safe and secure.

Collaborating researchers were from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, California Center for Functional Medicine, and FOCUS Health Group, Naturopathic.<br>"This research is particularly important as babesiosis is a significant emerging health risk. Due to limited therapeutics and a rise in <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/treatment+resistance/" rel="tag" class="textTag">treatment resistance</a>, current treatment options for this <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/disease/" rel="tag" class="textTag">disease</a> are inadequate and many patients rely on herbal therapies for which there is only anecdotal evidence of efficacy," said co-author Sunjya K. Schweig, MD, Founder and Director, California Center for Functional Medicine and Scientific Advisory Board Member, Bay Area Lyme Foundation, who has also studied herbal treatments for Lyme disease.<br>"Increasingly, Americans with chronic diseases are pursuing complementary and alternative <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/medicine/" rel="tag" class="textTag">medicine</a> to improve general health or quality of life. We hope this data offers inspiration to other researchers to further explore similar options for people living with persistent tick-borne diseases that do not respond to current treatments," added Dr. Schweig.<br>While current treatment protocols for babesiosis recommend use of antibiotics including atovaquone, azithromycin, clindamycin, quinine, and their combinations, these regimens are often associated with treatment failures and significant side effects, even in immunocompetent patients. In addition, <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/epidemiologic+studies/" rel="tag" class="textTag">epidemiologic studies</a> have documented that up to 23% of patients with babesiosis experienced concurrent Lyme disease and its associated disabling effects.<br>According to this laboratory study, the five <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/herbal+medicines/" rel="tag" class="textTag">herbal medicines</a> that demonstrated inhibitory activity against B. duncani are:<br>Further, the study discovered that the <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/bioactive+compounds/" rel="tag" class="textTag">bioactive compounds</a> derived from <i>Cryptolepis sanguinolenta</i>, <i>Artemisia annua</i>, and Scutellaria baicalensis, had comparable or even better activity against B. duncani than the commonly used antimicrobial medications quinine and clindamycin.<br>This is the first study to report the antibabesial activity of Scutellaria baicalensis. However, the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity of <i>Alchornea cordifolia</i> and <i>Polygonum cuspidatum</i> extracts have been previously documented, and other studies have found benefits of combining agents such as compounds derived from <i>Cryptolepis sanguinolenta</i> and an artemisinin-based therapy.<br>These compounds still need to be tested both in vitro and in animal models as well as in <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/tags/clinical+trials/" rel="tag" class="textTag">clinical trials</a>. While each of these botanical medicines are already in clinical use, it is important for future studies to evaluate them directly in patients using specific clinical treatment regimens, as each have the potential to produce side effects in patients, and should be taken only under the care of a clinician knowledgeable of their capabilities and toxicities.<br>"Herbal medicines have been successfully used by various traditional medicine systems and ancient cultures," said Linda Giampa, executive director, Bay Area Lyme Foundation. "Coinfected tick-borne disease patients frequently experience a greater number of symptoms for a longer duration than those with Lyme disease alone, pointing to the need for novel treatments for babesiosis, one of the most common tick-borne infections after Lyme disease. We hope that findings from this study are an important step towards developing new therapeutic options for doctors and their patients with persistent Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections."<br><strong>More information:</strong>                                                     "Botanical medicines Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, Artemisia annua, Scutellaria baicalensis, Polygonum cuspidatum, and Alchornea cordifolia demonstrate inhibitory activity against Babesia duncani," <i>Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology</i>, 2021.                                                                                                                                                                                             <br>Explore further<br>Facebook<br>Twitter<br>Email<br> Feedback to editors<br>59 minutes ago<br><span>0</span><br>1 hour ago<br><span>0</span><br>21 hours ago<br><span>0</span><br>23 hours ago<br><span>0</span><br>Nov 8, 2025<br><span>1</span><br>59 minutes ago<br>1 hour ago<br>3 hours ago<br>3 hours ago<br>9 hours ago<br>13 hours ago<br>13 hours ago<br>13 hours ago<br>15 hours ago<br>15 hours ago<br>Feb 21, 2020<br>Dec 8, 2020<br>Dec 11, 2020<br>Jun 20, 2017<br>Aug 3, 2018<br>Jun 20, 2018<br>59 minutes ago<br>3 hours ago<br>21 hours ago<br>17 hours ago<br>19 hours ago<br>15 hours ago<br><br>                                 <small>                                 This summary was automatically generated using LLM.                                  <a class="text-info" href="https://sciencex.com/help/ai-disclaimer/" target="_blank">Full disclaimer</a>                                 </small>                             <br>                                          Use this form if you have come across a typo, inaccuracy or would like to send an edit request for the content on this page.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Friday’s EuroMillions lottery jackpot will reach an estimated £201 million after Tuesday’s top prize went unclaimed.
While no one matched the jackpot, one UK player came close – winning £680,767 for matching five numbers and one Lucky Star.
The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are 18, 28, 42, 46 and 48. The lucky stars are 03 and 09.
No tickets matched all five numbers to take home £1,000,000 in EuroMillions Hotpicks, which uses the same numbers as the EuroMillions draw.
Three players matched four numbers, winning £30,000 each.
Tuesday’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are 21, 29, 34, 36 and 38. The Thunderball is 08.
No one took home the £500,000 top prize, but one player matched five numbers to win £5,000.
