Lucky person claims £210,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot - could it be you?
A lucky person has finally claimed the record-breaking £210million EuroMillions jackpot. A person in France was the lucky winner with the numbers 24, 31, 34, 41 and 43, while the lucky stars were 06 and 08. One Brit came desperately close to claiming the record prize but missed just one lucky star and won comparatively paltry £182,967.60 All lottery winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their winnings. Recent winners include dearest friends Carly Wiggett and Becky Witt who used a horoscope to win £168,000 each. A family from Cork, Ireland who won £216,000,000 and revealed they plan to stay in their home city, with no 'outrageous plans to spend the cash yet – except maybe a Rolex'. The jackpot reached its cap of 250 million Euros – an estimated £210 million – for this latest draw. But not all big winners have had a fairytale ending, with some falling victim to assassination, abduction, substance abuse and, somewhat ironically, financial trouble. The number of millionaire winners whose lives have taken a turn for the worse has led some to dub it a curse. To win the next week's unprecedented estimated jackpot, entrants must have five winning numbers, as well as two EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers. For the Thunderball, players need to match all five main numbers plus the Thunderball.

EuroMillions players urged to check their tickets after jackpot unclaimed
A whopping £145 million remains unclaimed from Friday's EuroMillions after lottery operator Allwyn confirmed there were no jackpot winners. The jackpot remains up for grabs for ticketholders who have yet to check their EuroMillions draw on Friday. The winning prize has been rolled over to Tuesday's draw, which stands at an estimated £157,000,000. EuroMillions players have been urged to check their tickets after Allwyn announced the National Lottery will shut down for 36 hours on Saturday and Sunday. The outage is for good reason as the National Lottery will make way for the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. It means players will not be able to purchase tickets or check results in shops from 11pm on Saturday night following the Lotto and Thunderball draws until 'late Monday morning', operator Allwyn said. Lottery winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their winnings. The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers from Friday's draw were 04, 16, 25, 29, 30. The lucky stars were 02, 10 The estimated jackpot is £145 million One UK millionaire has been created from the Millionaire Maker Selection with the code TGLL13138 To win, ticket holders need to match the five main EuroMillions numbers and the Lucky Stars The National Lottery Thunderball Friday draw winning numbers were 02, 09, 20, 23, 27 The Thunderball was 13 Several lucky winners have claimed their prizes in recent weeks, including best friends Carly Wiggett and Becky Witt who put their faith in a horoscope to win £168,000 each. The pair from Dartford, Kent, bought a EuroMillions ticket after Carly's mum, Tracy, read that a Pisces and Taurus would win the lottery if they entered together. Other winners include a family from Cork, Ireland who won £216,000,000 and revealed they plan to stay in their home city, with no 'outrageous plans to spend the cash yet – except maybe a Rolex'. However, other lucky winners have not been so fortunate after bagging their winnings, as assassination, abduction or substance abuse all form part of a curse following lottery winners. History has countless examples of winners whose lives took a turn for the worse after scooping a large sum of money. To win the full estimated £145,000,000 jackpot, winners must have five winning numbers, and the two EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers. For Friday's draw, the winning main EuroMillions numbers are 04, 16, 25, 29, 30. Meanwhile, the EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers are 02, 10. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'How exciting – Tuesday night's (5 August) EuroMillions draw will be an amazing one, as an enormous £157M estimated jackpot is up for grabs. More Trending 'A single UK winner of this jaw-dropping prize would make National Lottery history, coming in at number seven on the list of the biggest National Lottery winners of all time, and it would also be the 20th win of over £100M since The National Lottery began.' Money that remains unclaimed after the deadline goes to the National Lottery's Good Causes fund, which supports projects across the country covering a range of sectors including arts, sports and local community groups. Every week, more than £30 million raised from ticket sales goes into the fund. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
