Instead, the prize for this coming Friday’s draw has climbed to 156 million euros, and if won, will be one of the highest ever amounts collected.

One Portugal player came within a number of winning the Euromillions last night, but will instead have to settle for a cheque of 225,000 euros.

In case you were that player, last night’s numbers were 4, 7, 14, 34, 38 while the lucky stars were 4 and 11.
