Euromillions prize of £101m won by UK ticketholder


A ticketholder from the UK has won £101m on the Euromillions jackpot, according to lottery operator Camelot.
The winning numbers were 18, 26, 34, 38 and 42 and the Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 8.
It is the second major Euromillions win for the UK this year - in July, Colin and Chris Weir, from Ayrshire, won a record European lottery prize of £161m.
UK ticketholders have banked the Euromillions jackpot more than 15 times in the last two years.
Last year two anonymous UK winners scooped £113m and £84m.
Nine countries participate in Euromillions and all prizes are tax-free, except in Switzerland.
