British Lottery Winner Pockets £161 million

The biggest lottery jackpot ever seen in Europe has been won by a single British ticket. The so far anonymous winner matched all seven numbers to pocket the £161million Euromillions jackpot.

No one had won for 14 weeks and so the jackpot had grown and grown through multiple rollovers. This led to the massive amount of 185 million euros which will catapult the lucky winner to 430th position on the British rich list once they reveal themselves. Amazingly, they will be worth almost as much as Victoria and David Beckham, whose combined fortune is estimated at around £165million.

A spokesman from the National Lottery revealed:

"We've got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket holders into the National Lottery millionaires' club."
