A UK ticket-holder has won Friday’s £110m EuroMillions jackpot, it has been confirmed. If the winner is a single ticket-holder, it would make them richer than Harry Styles and Gary Barlow, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
Only 15 UK players have won a jackpot of more than £100m, making this win one of the country’s biggest. Friday’s winning numbers were 7, 12, 13, 20 and 45, with 3 and 12 selected for the Lucky Star numbers. Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said it was a “fabulous night”.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner,” he said. More than £30m is generated every week from the National Lottery for causes across the UK, Mr Carter added. “This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations’ athletes at the recent Commonwealth Games,” he said. In July, a UK ticket-holder became the biggest National Lottery winner of all time with a record-breaking £195m. The EuroMillions game is played in nine countries.
