2 Winners Share Record 66 Milion Pound UK Lottery Jackpot
Britain\'s biggest-ever national lottery win was shared by two players, organisers said on Saturday after huge numbers of tickets were sold for the 66 million pound ($96 million) tax-free jackpot.
Britain's biggest-ever national lottery win was shared by two players, organisers said on Saturday after huge numbers of tickets were sold for the 66 million pound ($96 million) tax-free jackpot.
The Saturday night UK national lottery draw attracted many more players than normal, and came the same day as Americans flocked to get tickets for a record jackpot of more than $900 million in the United States' Powerball draw.
The previous biggest British national lottery jackpot was 22.6 million pounds more than 20 years ago.
British winners of the pan-European Euromillions lottery draw have received far more in recent years. The biggest win came in 2011 when a Scottish couple collected 161 million pounds.
Britain launched its national lottery in 1994. The twice-weekly game is run by Camelot, a company now owned by the teacher's pension fund for the Canadian province of Ontario, and raises over 34 million pounds for charity each week.
