£95m Euro jackpot 'world's biggest'

Larger prizes have been won in the US but the actual payouts were lower either due to tax or because winners opted for smaller one-off lump sums.

The huge EuroMillions prize cannot roll again after Friday night's draw.

If no player matches all the winning numbers, the estimated £95 million top prize will be distributed among winners in the next prize level.

The draw will be broadcast at 11.35pm on BBC One on Friday - the first EuroMillions draw to be aired on UK terrestrial television.

Presenter Tim Vincent will host the new EuroMillions weekly televised draw, along with Sarah Cawood.

He said: "It's going to be quite something to reveal those seven lucky numbers each week. I have my fingers crossed for everyone."

Glasgow postal administrator Angela Kelly scooped £35.4 million on the EuroMillions jackpot last August.

EuroMillions is played in the UK and eight other countries: France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland.
