A single UK-bought ticket has won the 拢184 million EuroMillions jackpot, becoming the UK's biggest ever National Lottery winner.
Lottery operator Camelot confirmed the win.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said: "What an amazing night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the incredible £184 million EuroMillions jackpot - they have become the UK's biggest ever National Lottery winner.
"Players are urged to check their tickets and give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner."
The winning EuroMillions numbers were 3, 25, 27, 28 and 29 - plus the Lucky Star numbers 4 and 9.
What will £184m buy me?
The winner can now buy four Caribbean islands, with a few million to spare, or the equivalent of 11 six-bedroom luxury properties in London's affluent Hyde Park.
The winner will also be catapulted to the top of the National Lottery's rich list.
Only 14 players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100 million, with the previous record-holder an anonymous winner of £170 million in October 2019.
One ticket matched all seven numbers to win £184,262,899.10.
