Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “What a night for UK EuroMillions players, as a single ticket-holder has scooped tonight’s life-changing £55M EuroMillions jackpot!

"This is the second EuroMillions jackpot win in the UK so far this month, after another lucky ticket-holder won an incredible £111.7M in the draw on Friday 2 June. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.

Last month, a group of three friends who created a syndicate while at college won £1million from a special EuroMillions draw last month.

At the time, their lecturer joked that the trio should start their own syndicate, which they did, and they have been playing together ever since.

Alex, Dan and Kyle are now celebrating their lottery win following the EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker draw on February 3.

Syndicate leader Alex said: "We've all got good careers thanks to our apprenticeships through the college but looking at my bank account now, it does feel that our lecturer's advice to create a National Lottery syndicate might have been some of the soundest!"
