Lottery Review

EuroMillions - As you can see we had a huge rollover jackpot of well over a hundred million pounds on the 12th of the month. And as you may know one of the two lucky winners resides in the UK, so big congratulations to them for picking up over £56 million pounds for their ticket.

The five plus bonus winners also had a huge discrepancy between the biggest and smallest shares of the month. The biggest occurred on the 20th when two people got £347,312 each. That’s higher than the sum the jackpot winners got on the 27th! And at the other end of the scale just £9,924 went to a whopping forty one winners on the 27th.

But did the bonus ball winners fare just as well, or did they end up with lower shares? The lowest share of all was a lot higher than last month’s £22,726, coming to a much more respectable £90,487 on Boxing Day. That amount went to fourteen players. And the highest share went to two people on the 16th, when five balls plus the bonus added up to £446,240.

The biggest share for the month was on Wednesday 11th, when two people each won £5,725,012. The smallest share was still a respectable £844,570, which went to five people in the next draw on the 14th.

So we had sixteen jackpot winners all in all. And there were two draws – consecutive ones at that – which did not have any jackpot winners at all, leading to a nice rollover amount of nearly thirteen million on that final draw of the month.
