UK winner scoops £195million - 7 things they could buy with win including plush mansion

A very lucky winner from the UK has bagged a record-breaking £195million on last night's Euromillions jackpot — and could now afford to buy a whole host of unimaginable luxury items.

The life-changing sum won on Tuesday night (July 19) smashes the landmark UK sum won by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire earlier this year, who took home a prize of £184,262,899 in May.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What an amazing night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the biggest-ever EuroMillions jackpot of £195M!

"This winner has just become the biggest National Lottery winner of all time, the fourth lucky EuroMillions jackpot winner here this year and the 15th UK winner of over £100M."

Whether it's a garage full of high-end cars, a bunch of private jets or your own mansion in one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, here are just some of the many incredible things the winner could now afford to buy:

The most expensive watch in the world - £46million

The saying goes that 'time is money' — but only the very richest people can afford to check it on a $55 million (£46million) watch.

That's how much the Graff Diamonds Hallucination is valued at, which was described by firm chairman Laurence Graff as a "truly remarkable watch" that illustrates the clockmaker's "all-consuming passion for diamonds".

The multicoloured piece is made from 10 carats of luxury coloured diamonds, with a quartz dial in the centre powered by a long-lasting power reserve ensuring a highly precise time is kept.

Your own private island

A private island all to yourself is something many can only dream of, yet with £195million in your bank account you could even have more than one.

For example, only £4.45million could see you become the owner of a 222-acre island in the Bahamas' Exuma Cays region .

The island, advertised on 7th Heaven Properties as "one of the most spectacular" currently on the market, comes with white sand beaches, a harbour, marina and its own private airstrip.

For getting to and from your brand new slice (or slices) of paradise it'd be handy to have your own plane, which can be even more expensive than the islands themselves.

Private jet

It may not surprise you to find out that a private jet will set you back a considerable amount, with costs of refuelling and landing also something that can take a bite out of your budget

One medium-sized aircraft such as the LearJet 75 comes in at a price of around £10million, while the mega-rich regularly have to stump up somewhere in the region of £50million for a larger plane.

Running costs can total at £1million a year too, leading many to charter or rent a private jet instead. Experts say if you fly for at least 240 hours a year, it's cheaper to own one rather than rent one.

Millions of magnums of champagne

Tuesday's winner may want to celebrate by buying enough champagne to fill an Olympic swimming pool, and they would still have plenty left to drink.

£184million would get you 1.7million magnums of Moet & Chandon champagne, which could fill a 2.5million litre Olympic pool with 57,000 bottles left over.

The world's priciest diamond

If diamonds are your thing, you may want to mark your win by tracking down the world’s most expensive diamond

Plum-sized South African sparkler The Pink Star currently holds that title after selling £51.7million at an auction back in 2014.

The oval-cut rock, found in 1999, measures 2.69 by 2.06cm and weighs almost 12g.

A luxury yacht

A princely sum of £184million means you could take to the waves in a millionaire's must-buy — the yacht.

Splashing out £128million would get you the 91-metre superyacht Tranquility, which was previously chartered by American reality star Kylie Jenner.

The yacht sleeps 26 guests and 26 crew, and comes with a VIP suite, helipad, bar, beauty salon, cinema, gym and swimming pool, according to brokers Burgess Yachts .

UK's most expensive house

The most expensive home in Britain advertised on Zoopla is a 12-bedroom Mayfair mansion going for £54.5million - meaning the EuroMillions winner could buy it outright and still have £129.5million left over.

The Grade-II listed property, which features 4,510 sq ft of space over six floors, also comes with a separate mews house.

Built in 1732 and designed by famous architect Ralph Knott, he has been modernised to include a cinema, gym, spa, swimming pool, huge roof terrace and sauna, alongside several drawing rooms.
