A UK ticket holder has won the biggest national lottery jackpot of all time: the £195 million EuroMillions jackpot.
The buyer of the winning ticket has not yet come forward and Lottery operator Camelot has advised people to keep checking in case they have won.
The winning numbers were 06, 23, 27, 40, 41 – plus the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 12.
One ticket matched all seven numbers to win £195,707,000 – a total that has been rolled since June 17.
The owner will be able to purchase 11 Boeing 747 aircraft, 23 Pisces-VI submarines, Southampton Football Club or a town house in London’s Mayfair district, complete with a steam room and plunge pool, a cinema and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen.
It also means they are richer than Adele, who as Britain’s leading pop star is worth £150 million.
Only 15 players have ever won a jackpot of over £100 million.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, National Lottery Senior Winning Adviser, said: “What an amazing night for a UK ticket holder who won the biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot of £195m.

“This winner has just become the biggest National Lottery winner of all time, the fourth lucky person to win the EuroMillions jackpot here this year and the 15th UK winner of over £100m.
“Players are urged to check their tickets and call us if they think they are tonight’s record lucky winner.”
The previous UK Euromillions record holders were Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucestershire who won £184m in May.
Colin and Chris Weir from North Ayrshire won £161m in 2011 and Adrian and Gillian Bayford received just over £148m in 2012.
Former winners are known for making lavish purchases – the Bayfords bought a Grade II listed property in Cambridgeshire – but often give away large sums of their fortunes.
Frances Connolly, from Hartlepool, who earned £115m in 2019 with her husband Patrick, has set up two charitable foundations and believes she has already given away £60m to charity as well as friends and family.
