The buyer of the winning ticket has yet to come forward and lottery operator Camelot has advised people to check in case they have won. The winning numbers were 06, 23, 27, 40, 41 – plus the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 12. One ticket matched all seven numbers to win £195,707,000 – a total that has been renewed since June 17. The owner will be able to purchase 11 Boeing 747 aircraft, 23 Pisces-VI submarines, Southampton Football Club or a mansion in London’s Mayfair, complete with steam room and swimming pool, cinema room and fully equipped chef’s kitchen. It also means they are richer than Adele, who as Britain’s top pop star is worth £150 million. Only 15 players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100 million. Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners Adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What an amazing night for a UK ticket holder who has won the biggest EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million. Joe and Jess Thwaite were the previous UK Euromillions record holders (PA) “This winner has just become the biggest ever National Lottery winner, the fourth lucky EuroMillions jackpot winner here this year and the 15th UK winner of more than £100 million. “Players are encouraged to check their tickets and call us if they think they are the lucky winner of a record-breaking night.” The previous UK Euromillions record holders were Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucestershire, who won £184m in May. Colin and Chris Weir from North Ayrshire earned £161m in 2011 and Adrian and Gillian Bayford received just over £148m in 2012. Former winners are known for their lavish purchases – the Grade-II listed estate Bayford’s bought in Cambridgeshire – but often give away large sums of their fortunes. Frances Connolly from Hartlepool, who earned £115million in 2019 with her husband Patrick, has set up two charities and estimates she has already given away £60million to charity as well as friends and family.
