EuroMillions: Winning € 100 000 000 ticket was sold in Portugal on Friday

As promised, this Friday the main European lottery EuroMillions raffled € 100 000 000. The winning numbers were 23, 30, 47, 49, 50, and two additional numbers — 2 and 7! It is known that the winning ticket was bought in Portugal, but the winner hasn’t yet claimed the prize, so we cannot say anything about the identity of the lucky one.

Portugal is really lucky to win. During 10 years of EuroMillions existence this country took 55 grand prizes of the lottery! In 2014, the super jackpot € 190 million also was taken by a resident of Portugal, but he did that anonymously, so the winner is not known.

But the winners of 2012, a couple from Scotland, didn’t make a secret of their personalities. Colin and Chris Weir won € 161 million and spent a huge amount of money to charity. For example, they bought a prosthetic leg for a teenager, who was inspired by this event so that he decided to participate in the Paralympic Games and even carried the Olympic flame.
