The Euromillions super jackpot has hit France: someone won €220 million on Friday night. Thirteen players won the handsome sum of 33,931.70 euros and 97 others won 1,416.40 euros on Friday.

This is said to be the biggest jackpot in the history of the European lottery since its creation in 2004. The French lucky person had the winning number combination of 21, 26, 31, 34 and 49 with the stars 2 and 5. The winner or winneress now has sixty days to register with the lottery company.

Last week, no one ticked the five right numbers on the Euromillions ticket. No winner in grade 1 means that the €220 million jackpot, which cannot get any higher for now due to European lottery rules, will be rolled over to the next draw.

The last super jackpot was won in Switzerland on 21 February 2021. The value of that jackpot was slightly lower, €210 million.

The Euromillions draw at the end of August had one of three winners guessing the correct combination of 5, 13, 17, 32 and 43 and the winning stars 2 and 10. As a result, the jackpot of €63,644,284 was shared. After two weeks, the Belgian EuroMillions winner has finally made himself heard. It is a Flemish couple who were on holiday. A call in the media finally rang a bell for them. The two are now over 21 million euros richer.

Detailed information is not released to protect the privacy of the winning couple. We don’t have any immediate plans yet with this wonderful sum of money,” the man states. We need to recover from the shock.

The 13-year-old son of British EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford was seriously injured in a tragic accident last week. The boy was riding a quad bike in the large garden of his father’s villa when he was hit by his 15-year-old sister in a car. Both vehicles were apparently a gift from their father after his big lottery hood prize, local media reported. The accident fits into a string of sad events since Adrian and his – then – wife Gillian won millions in August 2012. They have since divorced.

Friends of former postman Adrian (49) tell British media that he is deeply to blame for the tragic incident. He would have given the quad and car to his children. He let his son and daughter drive around the house in those vehicles. While his daughter is too young to drive a car on public roads. Adrian and his ex Gillian are said to have not left their son’s hospital bed since the accident. The boy reportedly fell off his quad and through a fence. The 15-year-old girl then raised the alarm.

The chances of winning this Euro jackpot is one in 95 million.

Two lotto players in the German states of Hesse and Saxony-Anhalt might be battling to think their luck today once they suspected right Friday night’s Euro Jackpot figures.

Based on Lotto office in Saxony-Anhalt, their local champion bought four tickets worth €2 each.

Also preferring to stay anonymous, she or he has already handed within their winning ticket in south Saxony-Anhalt.

“That was a long jackpot run we’d at condition lottery companies in Germany.” Westlotto spokesman Bodo Kemper told DPA news agency on Saturday.

The Euro Jackpot prize was last won on March 23rd.

By properly selecting 2-7-24-38-45 as well as the right two bonus balls, 5 and eight, the happy couple of winners were able to bag themselves an accrued 15-week cash stack up of €90 million, each pocketing a watch-watering €45 million.

A man from Namur aged between 35 and 44 has won €934,000 in the May draw.

Many of Belgium’s EuroMillions winners have to think for a while about what they are going to do with their winnings, but this hospitality worker knows perfectly well what he will spend the €934,794.50 he won. “Top of the list is the purchase of a new home and a new car,” says the man from the province of Namur. “I am also planning a trip to a tropical destination. As soon as it is permitted again, of course.

What did the winner say:
“I was overjoyed when I learned that I was the Belgian EuroMillions winner in rank 2 in the draw of 9 February,” our winner continues. “I work in the hospitality industry and the past corona year was anything but easy. Much nicer than the material things I can buy is that now I never have to work for others and that I can do my own thing. I can look to the future with hope again.”

The EuroMillions record jackpot of 210 million euros has fallen in Switzerland, the country’s national lottery Swisslos has announced. The name of the winner or winneress is known, but Swisslos will not contact him or her until Monday. The sum of money will be transferred to the lucky winner in one payment.

The jackpot of EuroMillions grew to a record height, because in the past nine draws nobody had the right numbers.

For the grand prize, you have to guess five numbers from 1 to 50, and then another two numbers from 1 to 12. So the person from Switzerland was the only one who had all of those correct. Twelve others had the five main numbers correct, and 1 of the 2 additional numbers. That earns them each just under 2.5 million euros.
