Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A lottery ticket bought in the UK won a record £84.4m in last night's EuroMillions draw. The prize is almost exactly 50 per cent more than the previous highest UK payout, the £56m won on in February this year by 43-year-old Nigel Page and his partner Justine Laycock from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.
The ticket holder has not been named, and it is not known whether it was bought by an individual player or a syndicate. The prize is among the biggest in the history of the EuroMillions draw, the pan-European lottery with winning odds of 76,275,360 to 1. In May 2009, a 25-year-old woman from Mallorca won a record £108m after the jackpot had not been won for seven consecutive draws. The winning numbers in last night's draw were 1, 17, 31, 43 and 47, with Lucky Star numbers 02 and 03.
