This Easter bank
holiday proved to be one of the most momentous lottery weekends in the National
Lottery’s history. FACT.
When the National
Lottery announced they were to guarantee an £80M jackpot on Friday the 22nd March,
our syndicate players couldn’t believe their luck. Not only were they boosting
their chances of winning the jackpot by playing in a LottoByText syndicate,
they were also automatically entered into the biggest EuroMillions jackpot of
2013.
There are some
conspiracy theorists out there that believe the EuroMillions Rollovers are
fixed (although this is obviously not true as all draws are completely random).
However, the recent events did help ignite the argument as, low and behold, the
EuroMillions jackpot rolled, not once, but twice!
This meant the
tremendous £80M jackpot rose to over £110M by Friday 29th March, just
in time for the Easter weekend.
Here’s a quick run-through
of the three EuroMillions draws that occurred over the previous couple of weeks.
Friday 22nd March
Winning Numbers 12 – 27 – 32 – 34 – 49 Lucky Stars 8 – 9
Jackpot £85.33 M
EuroMillions Raffle Winning Ticket: KJN139799
Tuesday 26th March
Winning Numbers 4 – 26 – 30 – 42 – 44 Lucky Stars 6 – 11
Jackpot £96.30 M
EuroMillions Raffle
Winning Ticket: LJR996877
Friday 29th March
Winning Numbers 13 - 30 - 43 - 44 - 46 Lucky Stars 5 – 9
Jackpot £112.01 M
EuroMillions Raffle Winning
Ticket: MKY294628
As noted, with no jackpot winner on the first
two draws, it rolled over to the fantastic £112 M jackpot by the time Good
Friday came around. Reports are in from around Europe and it looks like the
winning ticket was bought in France. The lucky French winner beat odds of
116,531,000 to one and if they can find their ticket, will take home a whopping
€132,486,744 euros.
We also saw another £4.39 million in cash
prizes won on this EuroMillions
draw. The draw results state that five tickets won a tidy £395,567 each by
matching five main numbers and one lucky star. While nine tickets won £73,253
each by matching the five main numbers only.
As you can see, don’t worry if you didn’t take
home the full jackpot amount. There are still plenty of chances to win huge
sums of money on the lottery. If you want to check to see if you have won any
