Lucky Brit Scoops Highest UK Lottery Win

[KJ]

A single British ticket holder is celebrating the country's biggest ever lottery win after scooping more than £84.4m on the EuroMillions draw.

The unnamed winner, who has yet to come forward, trumps the previous UK record holder by almost £30m.

His or her winning numbers were 01,17,31,43 and 47, followed by the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 03.

The colossal 100,037,101 euros win is the third largest in EuroMillions' six-year history.

A Camelot spokesman said: "This is absolutely fantastic news - and the biggest ever lottery win in the UK.

"We're delighted to have yet another massive UK win, following hot on the heels of Nigel Page's amazing £56m EuroMillions win in February."

Mr Page, from the village of Barnsley, Gloucestershire, famously celebrated his staggering win with a bacon roll.

The self-confessed 'white van man', who shared the money with his partner Justine Laycock, said the couple would treat themselves to a new car and then "spread the wealth".

They have since given their old four-bedroom house to their cleaner, after spending £4m on their own six-bedroom environmentally friendly mansion.

Their jackpot surpassed the £91m paid out in November last year which was shared between two UK tickets.

The largest ever EuroMillions win was the 126.2 million euros won by a 25-year-old Spanish woman in May last year.

EuroMillions tickets are sold in Austria, Britain, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
