EuroMillions: £154 million, how to spend it all in one week

With a record £154m up for grabs, people across the country are rushing out to buy lottery tickets this weekend, in the hope of hitting the EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday. The massive cash-pot up is up for grabs after a rollover on Friday, when no one won the £141m draw.
An anonymous winner, who scooped a EuroMillions jackpot of £113m last October, currently tops the National Lottery rich list in the UK.

A spokeswoman for the National Lottery said there was always "a bit of a sales frenzy" when there was a massive jackpot, and urged punters to buy their tickets in good time. If nobody wins Tuesday's jackpot, it will roll over again to Friday's draw. The jackpot can go to a maximum of ¤185m – about £167m.
