One lucky UK ticket holder kicked off 2021 in style, matching all five regular numbers and two lucky stars in the Euromillions draw on Friday night to win the £39,774,466.40 prize.
The winning numbers were 16, 28, 32, 44 and 48 with the lucky stars 01 and 09.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: “What an amazing start to 2021 for UK EuroMillions players.”
Mr Carter said 10 other ticket-holders had each won £1m in the UK Millionaire Maker New Year’s Day event.
Those who had bought a ticket should check their numbers and contact the National Lottery “to claim the first big prizes of 2021,”
