BAGNONE, Italy: Someone has won the biggest lottery jackpot ever in Europe -approximately $210 million in Italy's state lottery, Italian media reported Saturday.The identity of the SuperEnalotto game winner hadn't been revealed but the winning ticket was purchased in the Biffi bar in Bagnone, a town of fewer than 2,000 people in Massa Carrara province, RAI News reported.
The BBC and Sky News said the winning numbers were: 10, 11, 27, 45, 79 and 88.
The Italian news agency ANSA said the jackpot had been building up since January without a winner.
The lure of winning such a huge pot of cash had turned into a tourist draw for Italy, the news agency said.
The Italian treasury rakes in just under half of the nearly $3 billion in lottery ticket sales since the jackpot was last won, making it a big winner, too.
