Britain’s biggest ever EuroMillions lottery winners are set to appear in the public eye for the first time tomorrow.
The lucky couple, from Gloucestershire, received a record-breaking £184 million last week - and said they will celebrate their win publicly. Camelot say the lucky pair will talk to the press tomorrow (Thursday, May 19) and open up about how they found out their numbers had come up and what they plan to do with the mega amount.
The organiser say: "They share some of their plans for the win and how it will transform the lives of their whole family." The UK's last lottery winning record was previously held by an anonymous ticket-holder, who banked £170 million in October 2019.

This is the second EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK this year, with the £109 million jackpot won in February. In 2021, five UK ticket holders scooped up millions in the EuroMillions jackpot.
One person won £122.5 million in April while another scooped up an eye-watering £111 million in June. Lucky couple Frances and Patrick Connolly were the first to go public with their win in the UK.
The pair, from County Armagh in Northern Ireland, won £114,969,775 after hitting the jackpot on New Year's Day in 2019. They purchased a Lucky Dip ticket and celebrated their astonishing win with a hug and a cuppa.
Last week's win dwarfs the estimated worth of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon (£150m), Adele (£130m) and boxer Anthony Joshua (£115m).
