Tuesday EuroMillions Draws Coming Soon
EuroMilliions, one of the biggest lottery games on the planet, recently announced that it will conduct a new draw every Tuesday of the year. Changes have also been made to make winning much easier while giving away larger prizes more common. EuroMillions will start its Tuesday draws on May 10. Tickets will be available as early as May 7.
According to United Kingdom lottery officials at Camelot, the highest ever EuroMillions Lottery jackpot worth more than £100 million (€113 million) was claimed on Wednesday. However, to the residents’ of the U.K. dismay, the winning ticket holder does not wish to be named yet.
The winner of the UK’s largest ever lottery ticket has been claimed and paid out, Camelot has announced.
After a Sunderland hoaxer claimed to be the winner of the £113 unclaimed EuroMillions jackpot last week, the Camelot lottery staff conducted an investigation to determine where the ticket was sold at. Their findings have revealed that the ticket was bought over-the-counter at a supermarket, newsagents or petrol station in the West Midlands city of Coventry. If no one comes forward this week, Camelot is prepared to make an announcement.
Last Friday’s Euromillions draw produced a record-setting win for one lucky ticket holder. The owner of the winning ticket has won £113m, beating the previous record for the largest UK pay-out of £84.4m which was won earlier this year in May.
Last week’s EuroMillions jackpot of roughly £85 million was anonymously claimed on Sunday. So, keep your eyes peeled for a person, or syndicate of people, walking a little lighter on their feet in the next few weeks.
