A British ticket holder has won a record £161 million (185 million euros) in the Euromillions lottery, lottery operator Camelot announced. The lucky UK player matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars to take home the bumper prize in Tuesday night's draw. Two other UK-based lottery players won £1.7 million after matching five numbers and one Lucky Star. A spokesman for Britain's National Lottery said: "This is amazing news. We are absolutely delighted that a UK ticket holder has scooped the entire 185 million euro jackpot. "In addition, two UK ticket-holders in the next prize level down won £1.7 million for matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star. "We've got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket holders into the National Lottery millionaires' club," added the spokesman. The previous record holder was also a player from Britain who won £113 million in October 2010. The Euromillions lottery, launched in 2004, is now played by nine countries across western Europe: Austria, Belgium, Britain, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
