A lucky Brit has claimed the life-changing £26million EuroMillions jackpot - as players are urged to check their tickets for the £10.6million still up for grabs.

The newly enriched winner is the third UK ticketholder to snag the top prize in the transnational competition this year, according to the National Lottery.

The brand new multi-millionaire wrote down all five of the main numbers - 06, 12, 18, 25 and 41 - as well as both Lucky Stars, which were 2 and 6.

And after their precious ticket is validated, the eye-watering sum will land in their bank account, ready for spending - a tidy profit on their £2.50 entry fee.

With 13 countries and territories across Europe participating in the biweekly lottery, they have done amazingly well to beat the competition and bring the prize pot home.
