The UK's second-highest winner, who decided to stay anonymous, won £170million in October 2019.
It made them richer than Adele, The Sussexes and Ed Sheeran.
And if you were to win the jackpot tonight, you'd be just short £148.6million winners, Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk.
The couple won after buying a lucky dip from a convenience store in August 2012.
However, they ended up getting divorced just 15 months later.
Adrian went on to spend some of his fortune setting up a music business and opening a shop which included the world's largest collection of Lady Gaga memorabilia.
He also moved into a £6.5m mansion which had 189 acres and a pool.
However, he soon sold it after reports it had too many memories of friends betraying him.
And Gillian remarried in August 2018 to convicted fraudster Brian Deans.
She had a baby at the age of 48 during lockdown and said she had always wanted another.
The EuroMillions draw will happen at 8.45pm tonight in the hope of finding a winner.
