A lottery winner in the UK has won approximately ?184 million (about 290 billion KRW), marking the largest amount ever won in the country.

According to foreign media including The Times on the 10th (local time), a winner matched all seven numbers in the EuroMillions lottery draw, reported on the 11th.

There had been no winners in EuroMillions since March, causing the prize money to accumulate. The prize corresponds to about 5,900 years of the average UK salary (?31,285). The winner’s assets will surpass those of singer Adele (?130 million).

The previous largest prize was ?170 million in 2019. The winners at that time did not reveal their identities. A Scottish couple who won ?160 million in 2011 attracted attention by acquiring shares in their favorite football team but later divorced.

EuroMillions is a lottery jointly sold in nine European countries since 2004.
