France has now produced 85 jackpot winners in the history of EuroMillions, making it the most successful participating nation. Next on the list is Spain with 82, ahead of the UK on 65 and Portugal on 64. However, last night’s success marked the first time that the top prize had been won in France since two players from the country split a jackpot of €61.4 million (£52 million) on 25th November 2016.

The jackpot has been won a total of 365 times in 997 draws, and the 1,000th EuroMillions draw on Friday 21st April is now rapidly approaching. If you fancy bagging the top prize before the landmark draw arrives, there will be £14 million (€17 million) on offer in the next game on Friday night. You can choose your numbers online or visit an authorised retailer in any of the participating countries. Good luck!
