A £58 million lottery jackpot has been scooped by a UK ticket holder in the EuroMillions.

The National Lottery said someone in the UK matched all the lucky numbers on Tuesday.

They were 05, 07, 08, 16 and 20 – while the Lucky Stars were 02 and 12.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said, “It’s a brilliant result for a UK ticket-holder who has scooped tonight’s massive £57 million jackpot.

“Players are urged to check their tickets to see if their wildest dreams have come true.”

No players managed to match all five numbers and the Thunderball, the National Lottery said.

Steve and Lenka Thomson from Selsey, West Sussex, had a £105 million windfall after their numbers came up.
