Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said: “With 13 guaranteed new millionaires, and potentially the nation’s biggest ever National Lottery winner, it’s the perfect time to defy superstition and take a chance.
“The unluckiest day of the year might just become a day you’ll never forget. The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier.
“It means that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.”
