Seven lucky numbers: a hitherto unknown has won £185 million at British bookmaker Camelot – now he has yet to be found.
LONDON - The situation is reminiscent of the 1998 British-Irish comedy film Long Live Ned Devine!, in which a small village tries to cover up the death of a resident after winning the lottery jackpot.
But this mega win is not the point of a screenplay.
A hitherto unknown has won the highest amount in British lottery history: 184 million pounds, the equivalent of 215 million euros.
The British bookmaker Camelot Group confirmed the win.

Now the lucky guy just has to be found.
The previous record was £170 million, which was collected by an anonymous winner in October 2019.
Since the lottery is offered in several European countries, the Camelot Group doesn't even know which country to look in.
A whole pile of money is waiting for the previously unknown winner.

Record lottery win: winner could buy several islands in the Caribbean
"Players are urged to check their lottery tickets and call us if they think they're the lucky winner," Camelot expert Andy Carter told
dpa.
The winner has 180 days to register.
If you register in time with the correct lottery ticket, you will receive exactly 184,262,899.10 pounds.
3, 25, 27, 28, 29 and the additional numbers 4 and 9: These are the magic numbers for winning the record Euromillion jackpot.
With the sum, the lucky one could afford, for example, four islands in the Caribbean or eleven luxury apartments in central London, the Sky News broadcaster calculated on Wednesday.
