A UK ticket holder has won Tuesday's £181m EuroMillions jackpot, the National Lottery operator has confirmed.

One player matched all five numbers - 12, 14, 27, 44 and 50 - plus the two Lucky Star numbers - 04 and 12 - to scoop the jackpot.

The £181,073,415.70 win is the third-largest in UK National Lottery history, operator Allwyn said.

Senior winners' advisor Andy Carter called the win "life-changing". "Anyone who bought a ticket should take a moment to check it carefully - you could be the winner we're looking for," he said.

"With that size fortune, this lucky winner would have wealth on a par with the likes of Adele (worth an estimated £170 million). Just imagine the kind of lifestyle that could unlock!"

Also in Tuesday night's draw, one UK winner matched all five main numbers and one Lucky Star to win £355,164.90 - another winner scooped £16,601.50 by matching the five main numbers.

The biggest prize won by a UK player is £195m in 2022, according to EuroMillions.

The EuroMillions draw is held every Tuesday and Friday across nine European countries.

The jackpot for Friday's draw now stands at an estimated £14m.
