A mysterious Briton has won a whopping £171 million lottery jackpot – one of the largest ever.

Camelot said tonight that the British ticket holder had won the EuroMillions prize.

The numbers were 14, 15, 22, 35 and 48, while 03 and 08 were the lucky star numbers.

The company added that three British winners who matched five numbers and a lucky star lined up for almost £100,000.

Each can claim £93,099.60.

Although tonight’s overall prize is huge, it didn’t break the record jackpot of £195 million won by another cardholder in the UK earlier this year.

The identity of tonight’s winner was not immediately announced.
