£105Million EuroMillions Jackpot Won by Lucky UK Ticket-Holder – Could it Be You?

On the 25^th anniversary of the first-ever National Lottery draw, a lucky ticketholder from the UK managed to win the life-changing sum of £105million. The news comes of the win after another unnamed player from the UK claimed the record jackpot prize of £170m, taking the total number of 9-figure sum winners in the country (so far) to four.

In June, an unknown lottery player won £123million and a few months before, in January, a couple from Northern Ireland went public with their £115million win. We brought you news not too long ago of Ade Goodchild, another UK player who won £71million but it wasn’t the first lottery win for his family.

The lucky numbers that netted the recent winner that substantial sum of £105million were 08, 10, 15, 30 and 42 with the Lucky Stars of 04 and 06. On the same draw on Tuesday night, someone in the United Kingdom also became a millionaire by matching the Millionaire Maker code ZMSF62402; what a momentous way for the National Lottery to mark their 25th-anniversary milestone.

Andy Carter, the senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said: "On our 25th birthday, one very lucky ticketholder has scooped tonight's entire £105m EuroMillions jackpot. Players across the country are now urged to check their tickets to see if they have won big. Tonight's big winner has scooped the sixth EuroMillions jackpot banked in the UK this year."

25-Years of Winners

To coincide with the anniversary, The National Lottery gathered a group of lucky winners to reveal how their lives had been transformed, with winners from each of the consecutive 25-years speaking up, starting with Deana Sampson who went from £3.60p in her bank to £5.4m in 1996. First purchases included trainers, a bungalow for her parents, a yacht for herself and much more! Celebrity photographer Sven Arnstein was there to capture the events of the day which can be found on the website.
