A LUCKY ticket-holder has come forward to claim the 101 million EuroMillions jackpot, Camelot said.
The winner has staked their claim to the third-largest jackpot ever to be won in the UK.
Subject to ticket validation, the winner's bank account will be 101,203,600.70 better off tomorrow morning.
It is not yet known if the prize has gone to a single ticket-holder or a syndicate, but if it is an individual winner, then they will be 1 million better off than David Bowie, the 703rd richest person in the country, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2011.
They would move ahead of celebrity couples such as Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne (95m), and Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin (48m). A National Lottery spokesman said it was looking forward to welcoming the winner to the millionaires club.
The biggest-ever EuroMillions prize was a 161m jackpot won by Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, Scotland, earlier this year.
