A UK ticket holder has won the country’s biggest ever National Lottery prize - the £184m EuroMillions jackpot. The previous biggest lottery win in the UK was £170m in October 2019, however the winner chose to remain anonymous.
The new winner also has an option to remain anonymous once they’ve validated their ticket, but Camelot have yet to confirm that someone has stepped forward to claim the winning ticket. The lucky ticket holder had these numbers: 3, 25, 27, 28 and 29, plus Lucky Star numbers 4 and 9.
