The EuroMillions £87m jackpot has been won by a UK ticket. The winner, who has not yet claimed their prize money will bag the seventh biggest lottery jackpot in the UK.

Mr Carter added: "The draw also saw two UK winners of a guaranteed £1m, so we urge everyone to check their tickets to see if they've joined the National Lottery millionaires club."

The winning balls were 17, 35, 39, 47, 50 and the lucky stars 6 and 8. The person who correctly matched all seven will now be £87,570,000 richer.

While the lucky ticket holder will be worth more than Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe (£78m) and musician Ed Sheeran (£52m) it's not quite enough to join the likes of Adele in The Sunday Times rich list of the world's wealthiest with at least £110m.

The biggest British lottery win was £161,653,000, scooped by Colin and Chris Weir from Largs in July 2011.
