A UK ticket-holder has won a record-breaking £195 million jackpot in the EuroMillions lottery, operator Camelot has confirmed. The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday were 6, 23, 27, 40, 41, with Lucky Star numbers 2 and 12.
The prize is the largest National Lottery win of all time, surpassing the previous record of £184 million won in May this year by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester. Camelot's senior winners' adviser, Andy Carter, described it as 'an amazing night for one UK ticket-holder'.
If a single ticket holder has won the jackpot, they would be wealthier than Sir Tom Jones, who is worth £180 million according to the 2022 Sunday Times Rich List. The EuroMillions draw is held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and is played in nine European countries.
In total, 15 UK tickets have won a jackpot of more than £100 million in the history of the National Lottery. Previous notable winners include Colin and Chris Weir from North Ayrshire, who won £161.7 million in July 2011, and Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Cambridgeshire, who won £148.7 million in August 2012.
