A RECORD-BREAKING EuroMillions jackpot has been scooped by a winner from France – but Brit ticket-holders can console themselves ahead of the next big draw with some imaginary dream-house shopping.
Although next Tuesday’s prize is a decidedly smaller £14million, there’s every chance no one will pick a winning ticket – meaning roll-overs could snowball as they did in recent weeks.
The £184m treasure chest was finally claimed last night after a nail-biting wait.
And those crushed by their loss may want to comfort themselves with the sort of homes they could have bought had they nabbed the lucky ticket.
For a neat £40million – barely a dent in the overall prize – the winner could have bought a 10-bedroom home with panoramic views over London’s Hampstead Heath and its own spa.
The colossal home in North London boasts a glass lift that flits between the three floors and comes with two acres of land.
The lucky homeowners are treated to their own private view over Hampstead Heath – one of the city’s most beautiful spots.

Situated in almost four acres of perfectly manicured lawns, this stunning seven-bedroom mansion designed by architect Julian Bicknell was on the market for £22.49million.
Inside the country home is a domed and galleried entrance hall, a cinema room, a semi-circular orangery that links to a swimming pool, sauna, spa and gym.
