LAST night’s EuroMillions jackpot was the biggest ever with prize money set at £175 million.
Brits eagerly awaited the monster draw last night. But did anyone win the Euromillions jackpot last night?
Yes, there has been just one mega-lucky jackpot winner after last night’s draw.
The mystery French punter pocketed the completely life-changing sum of €200 million.
The massive total surpasses that of the previous largest jackpot – £170 million- which was pocketed in October last year.
The lucky French winner is not believed to have come forward yet.
The unknown French ticket holder will have 120 days to claim the prize.
Players in France have picked up 110 out of 499 Euromillions jackpots — nearly a quarter — since it began in 2004.
Britain has had 108 winners.
Just after 8.30pm, the National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were revealed to be 6, 9, 13, 24, 41 – with the Lucky Stars being 3 and 12.
Friday night’s UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner was XBZK65114.
And the National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers were 1, 2, 11, 12, 30 and the Thunderball was 14.
The most anyone has ever won from the lottery in the UK is £170 million.
The record for the UK’s biggest lottery prize was set in a special Must Be Won EuroMillions draw.
The jackpot had rolled over an incredible 22 times in a row, including four at the previous €190 million cap.
But the winner decided to stay anonymous on their historical win.
In 2011, Colin and Chris Weir won £161million on the EuroMillions.
They splashed out on a stunning mansion and their humble first buys included a checked sports jacket, a computer and a tractor.
The Scottish couple initially bought Knock House near Largs, but they sold their mansion in favour of an even bigger pad in Troon.
They donated much of their money and set up The Weir Charitable Trust in 2013.
In April, the pair announced they were filing for divorce and released a statement.
In December 2019, Colin died after succumbing to a “short illness”.
He saved money away to throw his friends a lobster feast at the funeral.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk won £148.6 million, after exchange rates, on 10th August 2012 after buying a Lucky Dip from a convenience store.
