3, 25, 27, 28, 29 and the additional numbers 4 and 9: With this combination, a lucky player has won the highest amount in British lottery history of over 184 million pounds (215 million euros).
With the Euromillions jackpot, for example, the lucky one could afford four islands in the Caribbean or eleven luxury apartments in central London, the Sky News broadcaster calculated on Wednesday. The lottery is offered in several European countries.
The betting provider Camelot Group confirmed that there is a winner – now the record winner is being sought. “Players are urged to check their tickets and give us a call if you think you’re the lucky winner,” said Camelot expert Andy Carter. The winner has 180 days to register – and will then receive exactly £184,262,899.10.
Previously, 14 players in the UK had won a jackpot in excess of £100m. So far, the record was £170 million – this sum was collected by an anonymous winner in October 2019.
