A UK ticket-holder has won the £105 million EuroMillions jackpot on the 25th anniversary of the first National Lottery draw.

The winning main EuroMillions numbers were 08, 10, 15, 30 and 42 and the Lucky Star numbers were 04 and 06.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: “On our 25th birthday, one very lucky ticket-holder has scooped tonight’s entire £105 million EuroMillions jackpot.

“Players across the country are now urged to check their tickets to see if they have won big.

“Tonight’s big winner has scooped the sixth EuroMillions jackpot banked in the UK this year.”

Someone also became a millionaire by matching the Millionaire Maker code ZMSF62402.

It has been a particularly successful year for Britons in the Euromillions, with several jackpots claimed by players in the UK.

The latest win comes just a month after another British ticket holder became a multimillionaire, picking up a record £170m in the same lottery

In the New Year’s Day draw, Patrick and Frances Connolly, from Northern Ireland, scooped the £114.9m Euromillions jackpot.

Ade Goodchild landed a £71m prize in March, while an anonymous British ticket-holder won £35.2m in April.
