It was the biggest pot ever at stake at Euromillions: the jackpot of 230 million euros was won on Tuesday evening by a person who validated his grid in the United Kingdom, reports The Parisian. La Française des jeux has not yet given details on the profile of the winner.
The winning numbers for this draw were: 6, 23, 27, 40 and 41.
Next ceiling: 240 million euros
It was the fourth time in a few days that this kitty was put into play. Note that, according to the rules of the European lottery, once the maximum amount has been reached, the kitty can only be put into play for five consecutive draws at most. This cycle being completed, the ceiling will increase by 10 million euros to reach 240 million euros. The same mechanism will then apply up to a maximum ceiling of €250 million.
This Friday, the cycle will restart with a sum of 17 million euros.
The last record pot won was 220 million euros and was won last October by a Tahitian.
