the biggest lottery jackpot in the world, of course. It goes to say
that just about everyone who wants to have a great game will win the

is considered to have the magic to winning some of the biggest jackpot
prizes in the world. Here are the top 10 biggest lotteries ever.
10. Super Enalotto of €177.7 Million
Among the most popular lotteries in Europe
is the Super Enalotto of Italy, and while the previous year the €147.7
million was considered as the highest the lottery ever reached in its
history, it was beaten by the €177.77 jackpot in 2010, which was won on
October. While the awards ware certainly shared by 70 players, it was
still the biggest jackpot to have ever won.
9. EuroMillions in 2006
This is the jackpot that is considered the
largest in the entire history of European lottery. Spread over to three
tickets, with two coming from Spain and one from Italy, this jackpot
prize was won back in February of 2006 with a jackpot prize of €183.5
million.
8. EuroMillions 2011
While the winning ticket was shared in the
2006 jackpot for the EuroMillions, it was on July of 2011 where the €161
million was one by a single ticket, and the winner was from Scotland.
This is certainly a bit lower for the €183.5 million, but, for a single
winner in the history of the lottery, this is certainly the largest to
have ever been recorded in the market.
