One lucky individual walked away with 170 million euros (R2,7 billion in South Africa), after their record-breaking win in the EuroMillions lottery.

The winner, who is now wealthier than many celebrities, such as Ed Sheeran and footballer, Harry Kane, has decided to remain anonymous. Most major lottery winners decide to stay anonymous for security and safety reasons, as well as to avoid calls from their ‘long last relatives’.

Many experts suggest, staying off the internet, leaving town and spending wisely as a few ways to ensure one’s privacy and safety after winning such a large jackpot. The over R2,7 Billion winner won off a single ticket and claimed their winnings two days after the draw on the 8th of October. The winner matched 5 main numbers and 2 lucky star numbers.

These are the winning numbers: 07, 15, 44, and 49 and the two lucky star numbers, 03 and 12.

Congratulations to the lucky winner!
