The prize configuration is designed to make sure that eventually there is a jackpot winner and that the winner or winners get the full amount of the jackpot.

This is the biggest jackpot in the 5 year history of the euro millions lottery draw breaking the previous record set four years ago by an Irish woman.

There has been larger jackpots in Euro millions history but these have always been shared between several ticket holders. This huge single win is mathematical stand intact for along time, with the ticket holder beating odds of 76 million to one to cliam the jackpot
The previous record holder for the biggest Euro millions was Dolores McNamara of Ireland, who won a jackpot of GBP 77 million in July 2005.
The largest UK jackpot winner was from Scotland (Glasgow), the lucky winner that time being Angela Kelly, who won her £35.4 million EuroMillions jackpot just less than 2 years ago back in August 2007.

Once you have won a jackpot you life is definitely going to change. Whether it brings good or bad results depends on how and where you spend your winnings. Stories of lotto winners make an interesting news and have a big influence on future lotto winners. The saying “the more things change the more they remain the same” has often been found to be true when tracking the lives of some of the biggest lotto winners. Winning the jackpot is a very peculiar event where an individual gets an opportunity to affect the lives of numerous others who are not so lucky.
How often have we seen people having won the 649 jackpot declare, with a bottle of champagne in hand, that a jackpot win is not going to change them one bit. Though, the truth is more than half of 649 jackpot winner moved to a bigger house in the countryside. More than two thirds of the winners offered more than £ 1 million to relative and well wishers or friends. More than two thirds of all big lotto winners hold prime properties overseas. 90% of the big time lotto winners were in the workforce when they won, however, only 25% are still working. Most lotto winners are proud owners of more than one luxury car. More or less all winners still play the 649 lotto even today.
The year was 2005; Brad Duke was enjoying a normal life when lady luck smiled on him. Brad was a manager in Gold’s gym franchises when he won the $220 million Powerball jackpot. Brad received $85 million as his share of the jackpot and without wasting time he went about managing his finances. In order to handle his new found wealth Brad build a team of financial advisers within a month. His only aim was to be a billionaire by investing his money wisely. Brad capitalized more than half of his winnings in low-risk investments such as municipal bonds. 35 million were capitalized in financial instruments who have high risk high return such as stock, and real estate. He instituted a family foundation and gave $ 1.3 million, paid off his mortgage of $125,000 and student loan of $18,000, gifted each family member $12,000 and took his friends on a trip to Tahiti, the trip cost him a total $63,000. But amazingly he bought himself a used car, a black VW Jetta for $ 14,500. Today Brad posses wealth well over $140 million. Brad eventually went back to work at Gold’s Gym after a break.
Brad’s story is totally different from the story of a 19 year old Michael Carroll. Michael won a huge £ 9.7 million in November 2002 but muddled through to blow all the money. Today he has lost everything he won. Michael didn’t take the suggestion of skillful and well wishers and squandered the wealth that others only dream off.
These are some surprising stories of lotto winners. In case you happen to win a mega jackpot it is recommended that you enjoy the moment but sooner rather than later get back to earth and invest wisely.
Best of all.
