EuroMillions Lottery Could Break World Gambling Payout Record Friday

Gambling on the lottery in the U.K. will reach new heights leading up to Friday's draw. The jackpot prize is up to $185 million. That is the largest single lottery prize money in gambling's history.

Other records could also be set this upcoming week. If one person wins the prize, it will be the largest individual payout in the world. This will be the last week that the figure will continue to grow.

If nobody wins this week, the money will then be divided up between the people who are on the next prize level down. The shot for history will have many in Europe scrambling to make sure they get their tickets.

With so many countries involved in the lottery, it will make for a hectic week of lunch hours and late night traveling to pick up tickets. The countries where the lottery is available are Portugal, Switzerland, France, the U.K., Spain, Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg, and Ireland.

United States lotteries have offered higher prize numbers in the past, several factors including spread out payments or taxes will make this prize the grandest of all time.
