Third Biggest UK Lottery Win

It has proven to be an incredible last few days for EuroMillions players across the UK. Right off the back of 25 millionaires being made in the UK last Friday (during the European Millionaire Maker Raffle) another UK player managed to win the jackpot and pick up an incredible £177 million during Tuesday night's draw.

This makes it the third biggest national lottery win ever, and now the winner ranks amongst some of the wealthiest people in the country - ranking higher than Adele, Harry Styles and Anthony Joshua according to the Sunday Times rich list.

The senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn (National Lottery's operator) commented on this saying “it has been a truly incredible night for a single UK ticket-holder.” Going on to talk about the significance of the win he emphasised that “The win has landed them a spot on the National Lottery’s Rich List, as they have become the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time!
