UK EuroMillions winner to be 'richer than Harry Kane' after scooping £55m lottery jackpot

Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets after someone in the UK won £55m in Tuesday's EuroMillions draw.

The winning numbers were 11, 17, 28, 32 and 35 with Lucky Stars 05, 06. After this success, the lucky lottery player will be wealthier than footballer Harry Kane (£51m), according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said: "What a night for UK EuroMillions players, as a single ticket-holder has scooped tonight's life-changing £55m EuroMillions jackpot. This is the second EuroMillions jackpot win in the UK so far this month, after another lucky ticket-holder won an incredible £111.7m in the draw on Friday June 2.

"Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner. Thanks to National Lottery players, £30m is generated every week for good causes across the country. This money supports projects across the nation, with a total of more than 670,000 grants – to projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date."

Earlier this month, a UK lottery player came forward to claim £111.7m in a EuroMillions draw. Ane one anonymous ticket-holder scooped £46m in the draw last month.

The news follows an incredible two years of luck for Euromillions players, with a total of six Euromillions jackpots totalling over £820m in prize money won by UK ticket-holders last year alone. One winner also broke records to land a £195m jackpot, becoming the biggest lottery winner in UK history.
