The record jackpot of 210 million euros was won this Friday evening by a single winner who bet in Switzerland.
He ticked the right EuroMilllions combination: 6-12-22-29-33, stars 6 and 11. Last Tuesday, no player had found the right combination.
The previous record for earnings stood at 200 million euros.
A jackpot won in December by a retiree from the south of France who had validated his grid on the Internet.

Since the game's inception in 2004, the top jackpot has been won 111 times in Great Britain, 110 times in France.
Then come Spain (109) and Portugal (78).
Each player has a one in 140 million chance of hitting the cup.
