UK winner can claim £121m on Euromillions

A British ticket holder last night scooped the entire £121.3m Euromillions jackpot – the third highest total ever won in the UK.

Camelot urged players to check their tickets as Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “Wow – what a night for UK Euromillions players.”

The total is still some distance shy of the £160m won by Scottish couple Colin and Chris Weir in 2011. Mr Carter added: “Rest assured, we have plenty of champagne on ice ready to help The National Lottery’s newest multi-millionaire celebrate.”
