The lucky UK player matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars to take home the bumper prize in Tuesday night's draw. Two other UK-based lottery players won £1.7 million after matching five numbers and one Lucky Star. A spokesman for Britain's National Lottery said: "This is amazing news. We are absolutely delighted that a UK ticket holder has scooped the entire 185 million euro jackpot. "In addition, two UK ticket-holders in the next prize level down won £1.7 million for matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star. "We've got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket holders into the National Lottery millionaires' club," added the spokesman.
