It’s big... but US offers supersize

TONIGHT’S jackpot may be a UK record but it is topped by a string in the US.

Mavis Wanczyck, 53, of Massachusetts, became the biggest winner in history when she bagged £591million in August and chose to take the lump sum of £362million, or £254million after taxes.

And Andrew Whittaker, 69, of West Virginia, scooped an incredible £195million in a 2002 Powerball draw.
