Single Ticket in the UK Scoops EuroMillions Jackpot
Friday night’s EuroMillions Mega Jackpot draw witnessed a player match correctly five numbers and two Lucky stars to win the top prize. A single ticket holder from the UK scooped the EuroMillions jackpot that was worth £101,203,601/€117,705.979. This win for the very fortunate player has placed them the 703rd richest person in the UK. This jackpot scored to a mammoth amount because there was a EuroMillions Superdraw that happened last Tuesday which in fact rolled over and made this jackpot become such a large amount.
The results from Friday night’s EuroMillions draw were 18, 26, 34, 38, 42 and 5 and 8 were the two Lucky Stars. The number five which was drawn out as a Lucky Star is in fact one of the most often picked stars and it has appeared a total of 100 times since the beginning of the EuroMillions in 2004. Although the majority of these numbers are positioned towards the higher end of the scale it really does show that you really never know when luck can be on your side!
As well as one player winning the top prize, the EuroMillions also had over four million winners spread across the other prize tiers. A staggering 2,173,189 players matched two numbers correctly to win the smallest prize available of £3.00/€4.50. In addition to that nearly seven thousand players won £25.90/€39.60 and 15 EuroMillions players each took away £116,013/€177,060 when they matched five numbers and one Lucky Star.
Now a multi-millionaire this jackpot winner will definitely be celebrating their huge EuroMillions win. Whether this player will decide to go public remains to be seen however it really does prove you have to be in it to win it in order to land yourself with a life changing amount of money.
