The biggest jackpot ever won in the UK National Lottery was a whopping £161 million or about $205 million in 1996. Some lucky soul matched all six numbers and walk away with that jackpot. Can you imagine what that would be like? Enough money to live like a king for the rest of your days without a care in the world!

The UK lottery often sees huge jackpots roll over for weeks when no one wins, so once those jackpots get up into the £100-150 million range, it really creates a frenzy. Everyone buys tickets just dreaming of winning that life-changing money. Though the odds of actually winning are still very small, 1 in 14 million, people convince themselves "it's their lucky day!"

The record jackpot winner in the UK used part of their winnings to buy a castle, several sports cars, set up trust funds for their loved ones, and still had over £100 million left. Not a bad day's win, if I do say so myself! If only I could get that lucky at the poker table. A man can dream, can't he?
