Lucky UK ticket-holder wins record £195m EuroMillions jackpot

No one has yet come forward to claim the huge winnings though

Someone in the UK has won the largest ever National Lottery jackpot, operator Camelot has said. One lucky ticket-holder will scoop up the record breaking £195m winnings on the EuroMillions. Tuesday's winning numbers were 6, 23, 27, 40, 41, with 2 and 12 selected for the Lucky Star numbers. But as of yet no one has come forward to claim the prize, so if you bought a ticket then you better check it now. Camelot has said this is the biggest National Lottery win of all time, with the previous record being set in May this year when Joe and Jess Thwaite won £184m. The EuroMillions draw takes place twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays and is played in 13 countries across Europe. https://twitter.com/UK_EuroMillions/status/1549473459922690051 The jackpot winner joins a group of just 15 people in the UK who have ever won more than £100m on the lottery. Andy Carter, Camelot's senior winners' adviser, said it was an "amazing night for one UK ticket-holder." He added: “This winner has just become the biggest National Lottery winner of all time, the fourth lucky EuroMillions jackpot winner here this year and the 15th UK winner of over £100m.

“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s record-breaking lucky winner.”

The exact amount won on Tuesday was £195,707,000. For context, this would make the winner richer than Adele, who is worth roughly £150m. On the same night, another Brit got lucky in the Millionaire Maker Selection with the code TKZR29187. Related links:
