Euromillion Lottery Jackpot 'world's biggest'

A £95 million EuroMillions jackpot will be the world's biggest lottery pay-out if it is won by a single player this week, Lottery organisers said.

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.

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