A British man won £111 million in the EuroMillions lottery
In the United Kingdom, an unidentified EuroMillions lottery player won the £111 million jackpot. The winner matched all five main numbers—11, 12, 15, 38, and 49—as well as both Lucky Star numbers—10 and 12.
The lucky winner’s name has not yet been disclosed. Allwyn noted that this is an amount that could radically change the winner’s life.
This is already the third UK EuroMillions jackpot this year. In March, one player won £181 million, and in April, British players shared £125 million with a French participant.
The largest EuroMillions win in the UK is £195 million—it was claimed by an anonymous winner in 2022.

In Spain, a court sentenced a lottery ticket seller to three and a half years in prison for fraud involving a €4.7 million prize. The man attempted to embezzle the jackpot of a customer who had won the lottery back in 2012.
In the U.S., on Christmas Eve, a player from Arkansas hit the $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot. This is the second-largest jackpot in the country’s history, and it could change the winner’s life forever.
