According to Camelot, a claim has been made for the £195,707,000 jackpot that was won by a single UK ticket holder in the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday.
Along with the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 12, the winning numbers were 6, 23, 27, 40, and 41.
One winning ticket, which Camelot confirmed had all seven winning numbers, was able to collect £195,707,000.00, becoming the owner the largest jackpot winner in history.
The prize winner will be more wealthy than singing sensation Adele, who has a fortune of £150 million.
Joe and Jess Thwaite, a British couple, set a EuroMillions record by winning £184 million in May.
Based on the most recent UK average price, the incredible £195.7 million reward would be enough to buy 696 homes, the Premier League team Southampton Football Club, or a townhouse in London’s incredibly exclusive Mayfair neighborhood, replete with steam room, plunge pool, and cinema.
What an incredible night for one UK ticket-holder who won the largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million, according to Camelot’s Andy Carter.
‘This winner has just become the biggest National Lottery winner of all time, the fourth lucky EuroMillions jackpot winner here this year and the 15th UK winner of over £100million.
‘Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s record-breaking lucky winner.’
At the beginning of the summer, Gloucester residents Joe and Jess Thwaite, who have two small children, won £184 million.
The first thing Joe, a 49-year-old communications sales engineer, and Jess, a 44-year-old owner of a hair salon, bought after becoming billionaires, they both stated, was furniture.
We purchased bedroom furnishings, Mrs. Thwaite told ITV. A wardrobe and a chest of drawers were purchased.
I didn’t believe it was true, she continued. I still don’t believe it to be genuine. We haven’t had time to dream before, but the victory provides us that chance. Most of the past British ticket holders who won more than £100 million choose to keep their identities a secret.
But the enormous wealth may put strain on relationships.
An anonymous ticket holder held the record prior to the Thwaites, who won £170 million in October 2019.
The third-largest winner, who chose to remain anonymous, won a massive £170 million in a Must Be Won draw in October 2019.
Colin and Chris Weir of Largs, North Ayrshire, who won £161,653,000 in July 2011, came in fourth.
In order to support his favorite Partick Thistle football team, Colin Weir invested £2.5 million of his earnings, and as a result, one of the stands at the stadium is now dedicated in his honor.
Later, he bought a 55 percent stake in the club, which he left to the neighborhood when he passed away in December 2019 at the age of 71.
But the pair got a divorce the same year Colin passed away.
Additionally, the pair established the Weir Charitable Trust in 2013 and contributed $1 million to the 2014 Scottish independence vote.
There have only ever been 15 UK gamers to win a prize above £100 million.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford, who are from Suffolk, earned more than £148 million in 2012 but divorced within a year.
