Belgian Player Bags Huge EuroMillions Jackpot

A EuroMillions player from Belgium has become the eighth largest winner in the history of the game after landing a staggering jackpot of €153.8 million (£134.8 million) on Friday 2nd June. The top prize had grown to its highest value of the year after a run of 14 rollovers, sparking much excitement around Europe, and over 3.8 million participants picked up rewards.

The numbers drawn were 8, 10, 24, 33 and 42, with Lucky Stars 3 and 9. The Belgian lottery is now waiting for the lucky player to come forward, so the country can crown its second biggest winner of all time, after a father of four from Brussels scooped €168 million on Tuesday 11th October 2016.

As well as the jackpot winner, seven ticket holders from across the nine participating countries won £178,884 (€290,732) after matching five main numbers plus one Lucky Star, while 23 players matched five main numbers to pocket £12,680 (€20,609).Take a look at the latest EuroMillions Results for more information.

There have now been eight winners of the top prize in 2017 - two from Belgium, two from the UK and one each from France, Portugal, Spain and Ireland. The record for the largest jackpot is still shared by two ticket holders - Adrian and Gillian Bayford from the UK, and an unnamed Portuguese participant, who both won after the top prize had hit its €190 million cap.

EuroMillions fans will have another chance to win a fortune in Tuesday night’s draw, when the jackpot will stand at £14 million (€17 million). Numbers can be chosen online or via authorised retailers in the participating countries.
