A record jackpot of 200 million euros ($242 million) was
won Friday in France by a ticket holder who has 120 days to claim
the prize, the EuroMillions lottery said.
The win is the biggest ever scooped by a player of the
EuroMillions lottery with the previous record standing at 190
million euros, won a number of times, most recently in October
2019.

Friday’s staggering prize went up for grabs after the jackpot
rolled over twice last week.
Players in France have picked up 110 out of 499 Euromillions
jackpots — nearly a quarter — since it began in 2004, followed by
Britain which has had 108 winners and Spain with 105.
Apart from France, EuroMillions tickets can be bought in
Austria, Belgium, Britain, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain,
and Switzerland.
