When it comes to record-breaking jackpots, lotteries around the world are renowned for them. On Friday night, one lucky player matched all five numbers and two Lucky Stars to land themselves an impressive win. This EuroMillions player didn’t just win a million pounds. They netted themselves over 76 million of them!
The lottery jackpot was an 8x rollover when it got won, but whilst it was a large amount of money, it wasn’t quite as large as the winner on 2nd October when a player in Switzerland won £144,603,632.
The winning numbers from the Friday night Euromillions draw were 5, 15, 17, 37 and 44, with the two Lucky Stars 7 and 11.
The winning ticket holder has not come forward to claim their prize money, and the search is now on to find the new multi-millionaire.
The actual amount won was £76,369,806, but who was the winner?
