A EuroMillions ticket purchased in the United Kingdom has won a jackpot of £111 million, a sum described as life-changing. Few further particulars of the win have been made public beyond the size of the prize and the fact that the ticket was held in Britain.
The result marks another major British success on the transnational draw. Allwyn, which operates the National Lottery in the UK, said a player based in the United Kingdom had now taken the EuroMillions jackpot three times this year.
“It is the third time a UK-based player has scooped the EuroMillions jackpot this year.”

Reporting of the win has centred on the headline jackpot and on Allwyn’s account of how often UK players have prevailed in the current year.

— Description of the prize in BBC News reporting
EuroMillions is played across several European countries, with jackpots capable of rising to very large sums when they are not won. On this occasion the winning ticket was British, and Allwyn has placed the success in a run of three UK jackpot wins this year. No additional claims about the winner’s identity, plans or circumstances have been substantiated in the available account.
