UK ticket holder wins £93m EuroMillions jackpot
The prize, which is yet to be claimed, is the biggest win in the UK so far this year.
The ticket matched the five main numbers - 5, 8, 10, 11 and 37 - plus the two Lucky Star numbers - 7 and 9 - picked for last night’s draw.
The top prize had not been won since May 26.

She added: “It’s the fourth - and largest - EuroMillions jackpot win in this country already this year, and the lucky ticket-holder enters the National Lottery rich list in sixth place.”
Top of the list are Colin and Chris Weir from Largs, North Ayrshire, who banked £161 million in July 2011, making them the biggest lottery winners in Europe.
A year after the Weirs struck it lucky, Adrian and Gillian Bayford won £148,656,000. They separated in 2013.
In 2010 a winner who chose to remain anonymous collected £113 million.
Last year Neil Trotter, a former car mechanic from south London, won £107,932,603.
