A British ticket-holder last night scooped a £63.8million share of the EuroMillions jackpot – the sixth jackpot win in the UK this year.

They join the ranks of other multi-million-pound winners in the UK including Colin and Chris Weir, from North Ayrshire, who won £161million last July.

Other big winners include an anonymous ticket-holder who banked £113,019,926 in October, and Dave Dawes and wife Angela, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, who claimed £101,203,600 last October.

Among the winners this year are a dozen bus drivers from Stagecoach bus depot in Corby, Northamptonshire who between them scooped £38million in March.

It was not yet known if the prize had been claimed and there was no indication where the winning ticket had been sold.

A National Lottery spokesman said: ‘Lady Luck is clearly shining down on the UK once again with another big EuroMillions win this year – the sixth jackpot win this year.

‘We’re absolutely delighted that a UK ticket-holder has scooped a £63.8million share of this massive jackpot, alongside one ticket-holder in Belgium.

‘We’ve got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket-holder into the National Lottery millionaires’ club.’

If the winner is looking for a glass of champagne to celebrate their windfall, they could splash out on a limited edition 12-bottle case of Pernod-Ricard Perrier-Jouet, which sells for around £32,000.

The massive jackpot could buy the winner 450 pairs of the world’s most expensive shoes – the £140,000 diamond-encrusted heels made by the House of Borgezie – or a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest road-legal car in the world for £1.4million.

And if that was not enough the new millionaire could spend their fortune on 20 special edition Sesto Elemento Lamborghinis at £1.9million each.

He or she could easily afford their very own private jet for around £15million, while a luxury yacht could cost them in the region of £13million.

And if the ticketholder wants to show devotion to their local football team by buying the club, a League One football team could go for as little as £30million.

The prize came about after a double-rollover. Last Friday, six ticket-holders won £266,505.80 each after matching five main numbers and one lucky star, but no one matched all seven to claim the £106million jackpot.

The exact amount won by the UK ticket-holder was £63,837,543.60. The winning numbers are 05, 11, 22, 34, 40,  the Lucky Star numbers are 9 and 11. Nine countries play EuroMillions – the UK , France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal  and Switzerland.

– Clair Voyant, Ruislip Manor, Middx., 9/6/2012 8:44~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Agree, £2 million top prise, I’m sure if you won you wouldn’t be going “Awe, I only one £2 Million” There would be 30 winners all spending sharing their prize money and getting the economic moving, makes sense. that one person just sticking it in the bank.

It’s meeee

It’s not me…didn’t even get 1 number! Congratulations to the winners 🙂

It’s me! I won it! I’m off out now to buy a couple of Lambo’s and Ferrari’s…huzzah!

Stop your moaning Claire Voyant. You wouldn’t be complaining if you had hit the jackpot. Stop being so jealous and congratulate the lucky winners.

I’m not Jealous….honest….oh ok just a little bit.

Hope they buy some teeth!

I won Euromillions last week, I don’t know how I’m going to spend it all, it was £3-10, as £2-00 of that was the ticket price, I really won 10p, they really need to spread the prizes out a bit.

Please don’t go public whoever it is! Enjoy your life!

Congrats to whomever it is. I hope my day will one day come. Please do yourself a favour though and remain anonymous.
