LONDON -- European lottery officials say two British ticketholders have shared a jackpot of 90 million pounds ($150 million) -- the largest lottery prizes ever paid out in the United Kingdom.
Lottery organizer Camelot says two tickets in Friday's EuroMillions competition both won about 45.5 million pounds ($75 million) each.
The winners have yet to come forward.
In May, an unnamed Spanish winner claimed C126 million ($187 million), the largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot.
