EuroMillions record-breaking £210m jackpot won by lucky lottery ticket holder

The winning ticket was sold in France with the National Lottery urging customers to check their numbers

A lucky ticket holder has won the record-setting EuroMillions jackpot, the National Lottery has revealed.

The latest National Lottery EuroMillions jackpot was set to be the highest in UK history if someone was able to name all five numbers and the two lucky stars. The jackpot reached its cap of €250 million – an estimated £210 million - for this latest draw.

The winning numbers were 24, 31, 34, 41 and 43, while the lucky stars were 06 and 08.

The EuroMillions website listed one jackpot winner around an hour after the numbers were revealed. While they are yet to claim their prize money, it has been revealed that the winning ticket was sold in France.

It follows an Irish family syndicate claiming a EuroMillions jackpot worth €250 million (£216 million) on 17 June.
