Noteable EuroMillions wins
The European EuroMillions lottery has had many noteworthy record jackpot prize wins in its history.
When referring to the biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot, the 185 million euro prize won on July 12th 2011 sits in the top spot. It is not only the biggest ever Euro Millions lottery jackpot but it is also the biggest one to be scooped on 1 lottery ticket!
A lucky UK couple, Colin and Chris Weir, became about as rich as the Beckhams overnight and have set their sights on travelling the world. They could of course buy a rocket and travel to the moon and still have money left from their Euro Millions prize!
A close second to the aformentioned prize is a 183 million euro jackpot win claimed by 3 people on February 3rd 2006.
After rolling over an amazing eleven times, this EuroMillions jackpot was finally won by three lucky lottery players. Two of the winning ticket holders were from France and one from Portugal. They each received over 60 million euros.
When it comes to record Euro Lottery jackpots won by a single lottery player, we have many runners up to the Weirs:
