EuroMillions ticket holder scoops mammoth £56,000,000 jackpot

One lucky winner has scooped last night’s £56million EuroMillions jackpot.

According to National Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased in Spain.

This summer saw one lucky winner bag a huge £206million jackpot in June after several EuroMillions top prizes went unclaimed.

All winners must claim their prize within 180 days of the draw. Full information can be found on the National Lottery website.

Winning a lottery jackpot is a life-changing event, however not all those who have bagged a huge prize have had a fairytale ending.

Winners have gone on to face assassination, abduction, substance abuse, and, somewhat ironically, financial trouble.

The number of millionaire winners whose life has taken a turn for the worse has led to some dubbing it a curse.

Who won the Euromillions last night? Results and winning numbers

Friday’s huge jackpot of £56million was claimed by a player who bought their ticket in Spain.

The winning numbers were 27, 30, 31, 41,43 and the lucky stars were 5 and 8.

Five more players matched five of their numbers and will each receive £24,495.50.

Another 30 players, of which six were in the UK, won £1,271.60 each for matching four numbers and both of the lucky stars.

What will the jackpot be on Tuesday?

On Tuesday, another lucky winner could take home £14million.

The jackpot prize will be awarded to anyone who successfully matches all five of their numbers plus both of the lucky stars.

Those who match all five of their numbers plus one lucky star will be in line for a payout of £130,554.30.

And £13,561.20 will be handed out to each player who simply matches all five of their main numbers.
