UK Ticket Wins £148m Euromillions Lottery Jackpot

BBC: One UK ticket-holder has won Friday's £148m Euromillions jackpot, lottery organiser Camelot has confirmed.

The winning numbers were 11, 17, 21, 48 and 50. The lucky stars were 9 and 10.

The ticket is the second biggest National Lottery win, behind Colin and Chris Weir from Largs, Ayrshire, who scooped £161m in July 2011.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "Lady Luck is clearly shining down on the UK once again with another big Euromillions win this year."

It is the seventh Euromillions jackpot to be won in the UK so far in 2012.

Camelot said it "looked forward to welcoming the lucky ticket-holder into the National Lottery's millionaires' club". » | Friday, August 10, 2012
