Wow..! I t makes you wonder if the owner of the unclaimed £9.5 million winning ticket ever found out what they had been sitting on. Fortunately for all of us who use PlayHugeLottos.com that could never happen! Its definitely worth paying just that tiny bit extra for the peace of mind alone!

Is not Euromillions also conducted by UK National Lottery? How is it that the rolled over jackpot is only GBP 18 million? If someone had won the jackpot on Friday then the next jackpot amount would have been certainly 12 million? Previously first rollovers were always above 24 million? Huge lottos may be able to explain !

@Krishnan - There has been no official announcement from Camelot. We will keep our players updated in this regard.
