Portuguese EuroMillions Winner

The Portuguese National Lottery has revealed the winning ticket was sold in Braga, in the north of the country. The city boasts a population of nearly 150,000 inhabitants, one (or more if it is a syndicate) of whom is now rich beyond their wildest dreams.

They are the first of their compatriots to hit the pan-European lottery’s top prize since Tuesday 8th August 2017, when a single player collected €36.5 million (£33 million). The country also produced one of the three players to win the maximum €190 million jackpot, when a ticket holder from Castelo Branco scooped the sum on 24th October 2014.
