The winning numbers included 04, 14, 31, 36, and 38, with Lucky Stars 03 and 10. This substantial win was confirmed by the National Lottery operator, Allwyn.
In addition to the jackpot winner, 14 other UK players each won £1 million during the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw that same evening.
According to lottery regulations, winners are required to claim their prizes within 180 days of the draw.
Winners can opt to remain anonymous or be publicly named upon claiming their prizes.
Earlier in February 2024, another UK winner claimed a EuroMillions jackpot exceeding £83.4 million after a 13-day claim period, also remaining anonymous.
The National Lottery has categorized this recent win as the 23rd largest in its history.
The biggest EuroMillions jackpot ever won in the UK was £195 million, which was claimed by an unnamed winner in July 2022. That year also saw a significant win of £184 million by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, purchased through a Lucky Dip ticket.
Another notable win occurred in November 2024, when an anonymous ticket-holder claimed a £177 million jackpot.
Currently, there are nine unclaimed EuroMillions prizes in the UK, with the largest remaining prize valued at £1 million.
