The first-ever National Lottery draw took place on November 19, 1994, where seven lucky winners split a jackpot of £5,874,778. The largest amount ever won by a single ticket holder was a mind-blowing £42 million back in 1996. Imagine the possibilities with all that money in your bank account!
Now, let’s take a look at some of the biggest lottery prizes in history to give you a little perspective. The Powerball draw in the US hit a staggering £1.308 billion on January 13, 2016, with three winning tickets sold. That’s some serious cash right there. Another massive win was £1.267 billion in the Mega Millions, where a winner from South Carolina took their sweet time to come forward and claim the prize in March 2019, just before the deadline in April. Talk about cutting it close!
There was also a hefty sum of £633.76 million won in a Powerball draw by a lucky winner from Wisconsin. And let’s not forget Mavis L. Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, who walked away with a cool £625.76 million after winning the Powerball jackpot in August 2017. Now that’s what you call a life-changing moment!
In October 2018, a pair of winners from Iowa and New York struck gold with a £575.53 million Powerball jackpot. It just goes to show that luck can strike anywhere, at any time.
On a more local level, we have Sue Davies, a 64-year-old who decided to celebrate the end of five months of shielding during the pandemic by buying a lottery ticket. To her surprise, she won a sweet £500,000. Talk about a silver lining!
Then there’s Sandra Devine, 36, who accidentally won £300k when she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard. Sometimes, mistakes can lead to big wins!
The biggest jackpot ever up for grabs was a whopping £66 million in January last year, which was split between two lucky ticket holders. And let’s not forget about Karl, who managed to snag £11 million at the young age of 23 back in 1996. Luck truly knows no age limit!
The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be around one in 14 million, but hey, you’ve got to be in it to win it, right? So grab those tickets, check those numbers, and who knows, you could be the next big winner!
So there you have it, folks. The lottery is a game of chance, but with a little luck and a lot of hope, you never know what might come your way. Keep dreaming, keep playing, and who knows, you could be the next big winner to hit the jackpot!
