On Friday, the pan-European lottery EuroMillions took place and offered players the chance to win a phenomenal jackpot of £109 million (€137 million). The 11 times rollover jackpot was the largest seen in the game since 25th June 2013 and was finally won by one lucky player in Spain who matched all seven numbers drawn.
On the same night, American players vied for a US$66 million top prize in the multi-state lottery Mega Millions. Just one winning ticket, purchased in Michigan, matched all six main numbers drawn to secure the entire top prize and become the sixth largest lottery prize ever won by a Michigan player.
Saturday saw three lucky players share UK Lotto’s £3.4 million jackpot prize pool after they all matched the six main numbers drawn. The lucky trio each took home a tax-free share worth £1,149,241.
In Ireland, two players matched all six main numbers drawn to share the €2 million top prize. The winning tickets, which were purchased in the Mid-West and the South-East, take the total number of Irish Lotto jackpot wins this year to 13.
