Dolores McNamara, is no longer the single biggest European lottery winner. Last night, a single Spanish ticket won the EuroMillions pan-European lottery, netting its owner a cool €126,231,764.

McNamara's previous record of €115,436,126 stood for nearly four years. Her phenomenal win took place in July 2005. At this point, the name of last night's winner is unknown, but we will let you know as soon as it is announced. The inspired EuroMillions number selection of 4, 23, 24, 29, 31, with two lucky stars of 8 and 9, was announced in last night's EuroMillions results show in Paris. It is very seldom that a massive jackpot of this magnitude is won by a single entry. The EuroMillions lottery is run by nine European countries and is considered to be the world's most exciting lottery game. This Friday's winner can now boast a bank balance that rivals some of the world's richest. Considering it is the equivalent of four years of David Beckham's salary, one begins to understand how this jackpot winner must feel. Euro Millions, which has been on offer for the last five years, brings together the lotteries of the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg and Austria. The jackpot for the next Euro Millions draw is will be approximately €15,000,000.
