A UK ticket holder has won Friday's £111m EuroMillions jackpot, National Lottery operator Allwyn has confirmed.

One mystery player matched all five numbers – 11, 12, 15, 38, 49 – plus the two Lucky Star numbers – 10 and 12 – to scoop the major prize.

Allwyn's senior winners' adviser Andy Carter said it was "fantastic news for a UK EuroMillions player" who has secured the "life-changing" sum.

It marks the third time a UK winner has claimed the jackpot this year.

On 10 March, one UK winner took home a £181m jackpot - the third-largest in UK National Lottery history - while two UK-based winners shared a £125m jackpot with a French player in April.

"Be sure to check your tickets and get in touch if you think you might be tonight's lucky winner," Carter urged.

The record for the largest EuroMillions prize for a UK player currently stands at £195m - won by an anonymous player in 2022.

EuroMillions draws are held every Tuesday and Friday night across nine European countries.

Tuesday's jackpot is now at an estimated £14m.
