EuroMillions Jackpot Soars to £185 Million as No Winner Claims the Prize

The EuroMillions jackpot is gradually inching closer to $200,000,000 following no winner from yesterday evening's lottery draw.

The numbers that won in last night's Euromillions lottery were 12, 30, 38, 40, and 4, with the additional star numbers being 4 and 12, earning someone a massive jackpot of £166 million.

Even though it's a massive amount, the prize from Friday doesn't rank as the highest in EuroMillions history.

A fortunate participant in Austria succeeded in winning the jackpot. £209,300,000 in EuroMillions following seven consecutive rollovers of the jackpot.

He secured a massive sum of money with a wager as small as €10.

Individuals from the UK have successfully struck gold historically as well.

This involves two individuals from Britain who struck gold by winning the Euromillions lottery jackpot. £83,000,000 in January and the £65,000,000 jackpot in February.

Although numerous individuals might believe that securing a substantial amount of money could be seen as a blessing, it can equally turn into a curse.

Research conducted in the United States has revealed that individuals are prone to filing for bankruptcy within three to five years, which is sooner than the typical person.

The pressure may also cause somebody to spiral into depression and lead to alcohol and drug abuse.

This includes Michael Carroll from the UK, who won £9,700,000 on the National Lottery in 2002 – but declared bankruptcy nine years later.

He squandered millions from his wealth on drugs, betting, escorts, and consuming two bottles of vodka daily.

What occurs if no one claims the EuroMillions jackpot?

If there isn’t a jackpot winner, the prize money rolls over to the following draw, taking place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The price of a EuroMillions ticket is £2.50 and also gets you entered into the UK Millionaire Maker draw.
