A single ticket holder in Ireland has just won the £208,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot.
The Irish National Lottery confirmed that one person has won the huge jackpot, equivalent to 250million Euros, this evening.
If someone in the UK had won the jackpot, they would have instantly become the biggest winner in EuroMillions history.
The EuroMillions jackpot had been sat at £208million for two weeks after it reached its maximum size earlier this month.
If nobody had won tonight’s draw, Friday’s draw would become a ‘Must Be Won’ draw in which the prize money would move down a tier until at least one valid ticket could claim the winnings.
