The National Lottery has urged players to check their tickets to see if they can claim the prize in Tuesday's draw

The biggest ever win was scooped by a lucky UK player who wished to remain anonymous. They scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million in July 2022 – the biggest National Lottery win of all time and making them richer than Adele, Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles.

The win in Tuesday's EuroMillions draw has made the lucky UK ticket-holder the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time

The UK ticket holder will become the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time when they claim their huge fortune

The win has landed the player a spot on the National Lottery's Rich List, as they have become the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time

One lucky ticketholder won £177,000,000 when the EuroMillions numbers were drawn on Tuesday night – but it’s only the third biggest jackpot of all time in the UK. The record was set and broken – and nearly broken again – in the space of just four months in 2022.

Lottery players across Britain are being urged to double-check their EuroMillions tickets after incorrect winning numbers were initially distributed following Tuesday night's draw. The error occurred when an extra number was mistakenly added to the National Lottery's winning line-up.
