The winner matched all five main numbers and both the Lucky Stars to scoop the jackpot, which had been capped after a series of rollovers.

It is not known whether the ticket belongs to an individual or syndicate, or where they come from in the UK.

The previous biggest UK lottery winner was an anonymous player who claimed £113m in the EuroMillions in October.
