UK got its fifth biggest ever National Lottery winner, when a ticket-holder on Friday (2) won £122m EuroMillions jackpot.
The full amount being £122,550,350.80, will put the lucky winner onto the top 1,000 on the Sunday Times rich list 2020.
It is the second UK EuroMillions jackpot winner this year, after someone won the £39 million jackpot in the draw on New Year's Day.
The highest amount ever won in the Euromillions was in February when a Swiss player took home 210 million euros (£180m).
However, Britain's richest ever lottery winner, who chose to remain anonymous, secured a jackpot of £170m in October 2019.
The second highest prize - £161m - went to Colin and Chris Weir, from North Ayrshire, Scotland, in 2011.
The following year, Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, won £148m. The fourth highest UK winner, who also chose to remain anonymous, took home £123m in 2019.
Tickets for Euromillions are sold in nine countries - the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Irish Republic, Portugal and Switzerland.
