A single UK ticket holder has won a staggering £195m EuroMillions prize, the country’s biggest ever National Lottery jackpot.

The winning EuroMillions numbers were 6, 23, 27, 40, 41, plus the Lucky Star numbers 2 and 12.

The winner is set to receive the biggest ever UK lottery prize of £195m, just surpassing the previous record-holders who won £184m in May.

The winner joins – or rather exceeds – the ranks of more than 6,300 new millionaires created by the National Lottery.
