10 Largest UK Lottery Jackpots

Identifying the 10 largest UK lottery jackpots is a little more difficult compared to other country’s lotteries. Here the payout depends on the currency that the winning ticket holders receive. They could be paid in British Pounds, Euros or even Swedish Kronas. Regardless of the lottery and the type of currency the winners receives for payment, these staggering amounts are changing these people’s lives forever. Imagine what you would do if you were to check the UK lottery results and find you had just won a massive jackpot.

Let’s take a look at the jackpots around Europe through April of 2016. The data is taken from Wikipedia and at my last check is correct:
