MADRID (AFP) — A 25-year-old Spanish woman who won a record 126 million euros (172 million dollars) in the Euro Millions lottery only learned of her good luck days later after spending the weekend bed-ridden with the flu, officials said Tuesday.
The unnamed woman from the island of Majorca discovered that she had won the jackpot awarded Friday when lottery officials finally tracked her down on Monday, online lottery seller Serviapuestas said in a statement.
"I was still sick on Monday so I decided to go to work out of fear of losing my job given the economic crisis we are going through," she was quoted as saying in the statement.
The woman was the only one to tick the five correct numbers (4, 23, 24, 29, 31) and two stars (8, 9) and win the huge jackpot drawn in Paris in a ticket which she bought through Serviapuestas.
"When she learned the news she was frightened and at the same time very, very moved. Logically she asked us many questions," the company said in the statement.
She also told Serviapuestas that when they first contacted her "I thought they were pulling my leg.... I thought it was some publicity."
The woman said she now plans to buy a country house in Majorca and raise horses.
"I have always liked animals, nature, sensitive things..," she said.
The jackpot of 126,231,764 euros is enough to buy two Airbus A-320 jets.
The previous record in the lottery, run by nine European countries, had been held since July 2005 by Dolores McNamara of Gallyowen near Limerick in southwest Ireland who took home 115,436,126 euros.
Friday's winner beat odds of 76 million to one to win the equivalent of four years' salary by David Beckham, the world's best paid footballer.
Euro Millions, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, brings together France, Britain, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Austria. The jackpot begins at 15 million euros each week but is rolled over if there is no winner.
The world record for a game of chance is 390 million dollars (286 million euros) split by two winners of the super jackpot in the American Mega Millions lottery in March 2007.

The Euro Millions lottery jackpot is a massive £89 million this week, and participant numbers are expected to rise sharply. The Euro Millions is one of the biggest bingo lottery games on the planet and millions purchase tickets with the hope of being that lucky winner.
What would you do with the money? Early retirement? Buy a Boat? Buy your favourite football team? Purchase a flash sports car? This unimaginable amount of money is waiting to be won.
Former winners of this lottery include a Postal worker Angela Kelly, who lived in one of Britain's poorest areas. The 42 year old from Glasgow was unaware she had won the £35.4 million jackpot for three days.
