Lucky Brit ticket-holder wins whopping £46.2MILLION EuroMillions jackpot

ONE lucky Brit ticket-holder has won a whopping £46.2million share of the EuroMillions jackpot.

A ticket from France and a ticket from Switzerland also matched the winning numbers to each take a third of the £138million prize .

UK players have been told to check their tickets soon as winners only have 180 days to claim.

The winning numbers were 03, 08, 18, 34 and 49. The lucky stars are 03 and 07.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said: "There has been an amazing win for a UK EuroMillions player tonight, with one winner bagging themselves a share of the life-changing £138million EuroMillions jackpot in tonight's draw!

"Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are one of tonight's lucky winners."

Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw.

The lucky winner of the £46.2million prize is now richer Benedict Cumberbatch.

The actor who is famous for playing roles such as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series Sherlock and Stephen Hawking in the television film Hawking in 2004 has an estimated net worth of £30m.

You can check to see whether you have won a prize using the EuroMillions .

If you bought your ticket online, the Lottery will email you so there's no chance you'll miss your winning jackpot.

And if you bought your ticket in a store, you can take it to any participating shop to get your numbers checked.

With all National Lottery draws players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.

Back in February, one lucky Brit scooped up a £7.6 million jackpot on a single ticket.

Last year another lucky winner bagged one of the biggest prizes ever with £171m, making them richer than Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Previous Brits who also cashed in grandly on the EuroMillions include New Year's Day winners Frances and Patrick Connolly, from County Armagh in Northern Ireland - though they later revealed how they gave away more than half to help others out.

Also keen to help out friends and family was builder Steve Thomson after he and wife Lenka, from Selsey in West Sussex, won £105m in November 2019.
