UK winner of EuroMillions scoops £177m jackpot
A UK ticket holder has won the £177 million EuroMillions jackpot, scooping the third biggest prize ever seen in the country.
The winning numbers were 7, 11, 25, 31, 40, with lucky stars 9 and 12.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser for lottery operator Allwyn, called it a "wonderful win right before Christmas" and urged players to check their tickets.
If the winner is an individual—rather than a syndicate splitting the prize—he or she will immediately become richer than musicians Harry Styles and Adele, who featured on this year's Sunday Times Rich List with fortunes of £175m and £170m, respectively.
The winner can decide whether to go public or request strict anonymity once their ticket has been validated and paid.
The biggest National Lottery win of all time, £195 million, was netted by an anonymous UK ticketholder on 19 July 2022.
On 10 May 2022, Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester won a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket.
