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.

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.
