A single UK ticket has scooped the £111m jackpot in Friday's EuroMillions draw.

The winning numbers are 11, 12, 15, 38, 49 and the winning Lucky Star numbers are 10, 12.

Lottery operator Allwyn said it was the third jackpot win in the UK this year after one ticket-holder landed £181m in March and two UK winners shared £125m with a French player in April.

Britain's biggest-ever win was in July 2022 when a mystery ticket-holder won £195m.

Euromillions' maximum prize of €250m (£215m) has been won three times, by ticket holders in France, Ireland and Austria in 2025.

The Irish winner was a family syndicate and the French ticket belonged to five friends.

But that pales in comparison with the world's biggest-ever lottery win: the $2.05bn won by Edwin Castro in the US Powerball draw in 2022.

Mr Castro chose to take a single discounted amount of $997m (£752m) rather than the whole amount over 30 annual payments.

Players dreaming of mansions and fast cars would do well to keep their expectations in check however: Euromillions says the chance of winning the jackpot is 1 in 139,838,160.
