Italian bags record 147 mn euro lottery jackpot

London, Aug 23: An Italian punter has bagged a record of 147 million euro in a lottery jackpot.

Tourists from around Europe were said to have flogged Italy for the SuperEnalotto.

But many had to face disappointment after a Bagnone player, in the province of Massa Carrara in Tuscany, picked the winning combination of 11, 27, 10, 79, 45, 88, reports Sky News.

The win is being claimed by Italy as the biggest lottery jackpot in Europe.

Players were said to have splashed more than 1.7 billion pounds since the start of the year in an attempt to scoop the top prize.
