Before that, the UK record was held by Joe and Jess Thwaite - a couple from Gloucestershire who pocketed £184 million in May 2022.
The ticket must now be validated before being paid, after which the winner will decide whether or not to go public. The next Euromillions draw takes place on Friday (June 23) with an estimated jackpot of £14 million.
