It could be you! Search continues for €168 million EuroMillions winner in Spain

A lucky winner from Spain has yet to claim their staggering €168 million EuroMillions prize, the second-largest jackpot in Spanish history. The winning ticket was drawn on Friday (October 4th), but despite the monumental amount, the winner remains a mystery, with no sign of them coming forward to collect their fortune.

The winning ticket, which matched the numbers 4, 8, 16, 17, and 20, along with stars 6 and 1, was validated online but initially purchased from a lottery administration in Herriko Plaza, Derio, a quiet town in the Basque Country in the north of Spain.

The massive win has catapulted Derio into the spotlight, turning the town into a hub of excitement and curiosity as locals speculate about the identity of their new multimillionaire neighbour.

Despite the buzz, the winner has not yet claimed their prize and the town remains in suspense. The enormous €168 million jackpot is the largest in Spain since 2022, when a record-breaking €190 million was won in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.

As anticipation builds for the next EuroMillions draw, which will offer a guaranteed €17 million for First Category winners, all eyes in Derio are on the elusive new multimillionaire, who could change not only their own life but become part of local legend. The question remains: who is the lucky winner, and when will they step forward to claim their life-changing prize?
