The suspense has decided to play on the nerves of millions of gamblers from the Old Continent to the delight of those who want to cash in astronomical… historic sums!
No lucky guy has, in fact, found the 5 good numbers (4, 12, 25, 46 and 48) and the 2 good stars (7 and 12) and thus won during the EuroMillions draw on Friday evening on record jackpot of 202 million euros.
Result: a jackpot of 210 million euros will be at stake in the next draw on Tuesday evening.
This is a cap.
If this sum is not won in the following four draws, it will necessarily be won in the fifth, then shared by the lower-ranked winners.

So far, the record for winning this European lottery is 200 million euros.
A nest egg pocketed last December by a Frenchman, a retiree from the south of France who had tried his luck on the Internet.
Since the birth of the game in 2004, bringing together 9 nations, the first-rank jackpot has been won 111 times in Great Britain, 110 times in France.
These two countries precede Spain (109) and Portugal (78).
Each gambler has a one in 140 million chance of becoming richer than richer.
