EuroMillions Lottery Draw Imminent
| UK Casino Times > Casino News 29 July 2005 EuroMillions Lottery Draw Imminent Punters have just hours to buy a lottery ticket for the EuroMillions draw which has a rollover jackpot worth an estimated £77m. The top prize has not been won since May 20 and is now the largest seen in Europe. It rolled over for a ninth time after no-one matched the five main numbers and two lucky star numbers for last Friday's £66m jackpot. The draw will be held this evening in Paris. The largest UK National Lottery jackpot ever won was £42,008,610 shared by three ticket holders on January 6, 1996. It more than doubles the UK's biggest single winner so far - Iris Jeffrey, from Belfast, who won £20,100,472 on July 14, 2004. Europe's previous largest jackpot was the £72m "match six" top prize won on the Italian Superenalotto in May. The UK's highest EuroMillions jackpot winner so far is Marion Richardson from Gateshead who won £16,752,144.80 on April 9, 2004. |
