On 31 July 2005, after rolling over nine times, the EuroMillions jackpot of €115 million (£85 million; $152 million) was won on a ticket purchased in Garryowen, Limerick, Ireland. The winner was Dolores McNamara, a 45-year-old mother of six; she remains the biggest individual winner in Euromillions history.
On 3 February 2006, after rolling over eleven times, the EuroMillions jackpot of €180 million (£134 million) was won by three ticket holders, two in France and one in Portugal. The three winners won €60 million (£44.5 million) each.
By 17 November 2006, after rolling over eleven times, the EuroMillions jackpot reached €183 million (£124 million). No ticket matched all the winning numbers for the twelfth draw, so the jackpot was divided among the twenty tickets that matched five numbers and one lucky star. Each such ticket was worth €9.6 million (£7.1 million), i.e., 5% of the jackpot plus the regular match 5 +1 prize. Seven of the twenty tickets were sold in the United Kingdom, four in France, three each in Spain and Portugal, two in Ireland, and one in Belgium.
