A record GBP184m EuroMillions jackpot has been won by a French ticket-holder, the National Lottery has said.
The winning numbers were 21, 26, 31, 34, 49 and the Lucky Star numbers were 02 and 05.
The amount went unclaimed after Tuesday’s draw – and led to a surge of entries for Friday’s game.
The winner, who now has 60 days to claim their prize, would be able to count themselves richer than singer Adele, who has a net worth of GBP130m, according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
Now, the next jackpot up for grabs on Tuesday 19 October sits at an estimated GBP14 million.
