Can you imagine winning €125 million on the Euro Millions and not knowing it . This is reportedly what happened to a young Spanish lady from Majorca. The EuroMillions lottery had rolled over 6 times before the lucky Spanish lass who was in bed with a bit of flu got a bit lucky and won an amount that could probably see her buy half the Island.

This huge €126 million jackpot amount is still the record win on the euromillion lottery.The next biggest amount won euromillions was won by Dolores Mcnamara who won €115 million, this win happened in July 2005 and was the biggest story in Ireland for quite some time.The Euro Millions Jackpot win made her the 72nd wealthiest person in Ireland at the time. That is some jump from living in Limerick to being part of the jet set super elite.

We all dream about winning the Lottery - it could be any Lottery really , the UK national lottery , Powerball in the United States or even El Gordo the Spanish lottery. All of these lotteries if won come with life changing amounts. The Euro Millions Lottery though is the biggest of the lot as it is paid out in a single lump sum and is tax free.
