The biggest EuroMillions winners in the history of the European lottery

With two draws a week and a jackpot cap of €190 million, the EuroMillions has changed plenty of lives.

Chris and Colin Weir - £161 million

Chris and Colin Weir scooped a staggering £161 million in July 2011. This is still considered to be the largest sum won in the UK.

The lucky pair matched the numbers 17, 19, 38, 42, and 45 with the Lucky Stars 9 and 10. They quickly snapped up a £3.5 million dream home but have also given money to the Scottish National Party independence campaign.
