A single UK ticket holder has won the record-breaking £161m EuroMillions jackpot, a National Lottery spokesman has revealed.
The lucky person matched all five main numbers and both the lucky stars to scoop the top prize.
The jackpot had been capped after a series of rollovers made it the largest ever in Europe.
The winning numbers were 17 , 19 , 38 , 42 and 45 , and the lucky stars were 9 and 10 .
No details were revealed of the winner and it is not known whether the latest overnight millionaire was an individual or if the jackpot will be shared by a syndicate.
A Camelot spokesman described the win as "amazing news."
Until Tuesday's draw the largest lottery winner in the UK was an anonymous player who claimed £113m in the EuroMillions in October last year .
On that occasion Camelot refused to even reveal the location of the big winner.
If the prize of £161,653,000 has been won by a single person, they will become the 430th richest person in the country, according to the Sunday Times rich list.
Two other British-bought tickets were successful, each winning £1.7m for matching the five main numbers and one lucky star.
Well maybe one day it will be me, and I can blog from my own island in the sun somewhere.
