A UK ticket holder has won Europe’s biggest every lottery jackpot, winning an estimated £161 million on Tuesdays EuroMillions draw. The yet unidentified ticker holder if it is a single person and not a syndicate will become the 430th richest person in the UK.

The winning numbers for the draw were 17, 19, 38, 42, 45 and the bonus balls were 9 and 10; the odds of winning the jackpot have been estimated at 116 million to 1.

A spokesperson for Camelot said, “This is amazing news – we are absolutely delighted that a UK ticket holder has scooped the entire €185 million jackpot, which at the current exchange rate is a massive £161 million.” Adding that; “We’ve got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket-holder into the National Lottery millionaires’ club.”

The mega £161 million prize will earn over £9,000 per day in interest, around 3.4 million a year. Camelot also said that the series of rollovers generated about £100 million of extra funds for its charitable causes.

Officials at the seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia in Italy are planning to ban miniskirts and a whole host of other revealing clothing in a bid to crack down on anti-social behaviour and improve standards of public decency.

The town’s mayor, Luigi Bobbio said that the proposed regulations would, “restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil co-existence”.

People braking the rules could face fines of between €25 (around £22) and €500 (around £438) and the new regulations would not only affect women wearing miniskirts, but a whole host of other clothing including low-cut jeans. If the proposals are passed by a council meeting this week then there will also be a ban on playing football in public areas, sunbathing and even blasphemy.

Local parish priest Don Paulo Cecere welcomed the news saying, “I think it’s the right decision” adding: “It’s also a way of combating the rise in sexual harassment”.
