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.

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.
