Weekend lottery jackpots set to top £79m

Lottery prize money worth more than £79 million will be up for grabs this weekend, operator Camelot said today.

The combined jackpots could make it the third biggest weekend for winnings in the game`s history.

An estimated £58 million will make up tomorrow's EuroMillions jackpot.

This will be followed by a guaranteed £15 million jackpot on Saturday's Lotto Superdraw. The Lotto Extra top prize on the same night should hit an estimated £6.2 million.

If a single UK ticket-holder scoops the EuroMillions jackpot, it will create the National Lottery`s richest winner yet.

The prize would be nearly treble that of Iris Jeffrey from Belfast who won £20,100,472 in 2004.

A National Lottery spokesman said: "January can be a depressing month, with Christmas and New Year celebrations over and miserable weather, but a jackpot win this weekend would be a surefire way to beat the winter blues."

If a single ticket-holder wins Saturday's Lotto Superdraw jackpot, the winner will rank fourth in the list of National Lottery millionaires.
