Most Winners In Britain

Seven Britons have won an estimated £6.5m each in the EuroMillions draw, Camelot said.

They are believed to be among a total of 20 winners across Europe.

They are due to collect the money after unconfirmed results for the draw indicated no ticket matched the five winning numbers and two Lucky Stars to take the entire estimated jackpot.

The top prize was thought to be more than £120m.

With no outright winner, the jackpot will be distributed among the next tier of winners, who matched five numbers and one Lucky Star.

The numbers drawn were 12, 22, 32, 33 and 36. The Lucky Star numbers were 2 and 6.

The UK had the largest number of winners tonight, followed by France with four, Portugal and Spain with three each, Ireland with two and Belgium with one, a Camelot spokesman said.

The prize would have been the world’s biggest lottery prize yet, if a single winner had claimed it.

The prize fund dwarfed the £77m won by Limerick woman Dolores McNamara in July 2005.

Punters were also given a few handy hints for picking winning lines ahead of the draw, with the most often drawn numbers 50, 1, 3, 12, 11 and 8, and the least drawn numbers 28, 46, 17, 20, 22 and 27.
