A UK ticket-holder has won a £184m EuroMillions jackpot, becoming the UK’s biggest ever national lottery winner, Camelot has said.
The winning numbers were 3, 25, 27, 28 and 29, plus the Lucky Star numbers 4 and 9.
One ticket matched all seven numbers to win a total of £184,262,899.10 in prize money. The figure is more than the estimated net worth of the singer Ed Sheeran, the actor Benedict Cumberbatch, or the combined wealth of the Premier League footballers Harry Kane and Paul Pogba.
It is also enough to buy four large Caribbean islands or multiple houses on London’s The Bishops Avenue, known as one of the most expensive streets in the world.
The win places the ticket-holder at the top of the national lottery’s rich list.
Only 14 players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100m, with the previous record-holder an anonymous winner of £170m in October 2019.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the national lottery, said: “What an amazing night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the incredible £184m EuroMillions jackpot. They have become the UK’s biggest ever national lottery winner.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.”
