A UK ticketholder has scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195m – the biggest National Lottery win of all time, Camelot has said.

The winning EuroMillions numbers were 06, 23, 27, 40, 41 – plus the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 12.

One ticket matched all seven numbers to win £195,707,000.00 – making them the biggest jackpot winner of all time.

The holder will be able to buy 11 Boeing 747 jets, 23 Pisces-VI Submarines, Southampton Football Club or a townhouse in London’s Mayfair, complete with steam-room and plunge pool, cinema room and fully-equipped chef’s kitchen.

It also means they are richer than Adele, who is worth £150m.

Only 15 UK players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100m with the previous record-holders Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who won £184m in May this year.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said, “What an amazing night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the biggest-ever EuroMillions jackpot of £195m.

“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.”
