It marks the third jackpot win in a row and the second biggest in May after another player took home £8.6 million.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What amazing news, one ticket-holder has won tonight’s amazing £8.5m Lotto jackpot.
"This is the second big win this month after one lucky ticket-holder banked the giant £8.6m Lotto jackpot on 11 May. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim this amazing prize.
“National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country generating more than £30m every week.
"Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2bn has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus."

“We’ve actually been quite relaxed about it all, which makes it all the more strange," one winner said.
“You always think that when you win the Lotto, you will be jumping around and spraying champagne, but we’ve been quite sensible in the last few weeks and kept our feet firmly on the ground.”
