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".

Mr and Mrs Weir have given large donations to several causes, including £1m to the SNP's Scottish independence campaign, since they landed their fortune.

Speaking last month on the anniversary of their win, they pledged to continue sharing their good luck.
