A lucky UK ticket holder has won the £39 million EuroMillions jackpot.

The winning main numbers in the New Year’s Day draw are 16, 28, 32, 44 and 48, and the Lucky Stars are 01 and 09.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: ‘What an amazing start to 2021 for UK EuroMillions players.

‘One UK winner has scooped tonight’s entire £39million EuroMillions jackpot and ten lucky players have walked away with £1 million each in the special UK Millionaire Maker New Year’s Day event.’

Camelot earlier said £4 billion was handed out in prize money in 2020, which has created 391 new millionaires.

Five Christmas ticket winners have yet to claim their National Lottery festive fortunes, including two £1 million prizes.

Mr Carter said: ‘Players are being urged to check their tickets online via the National Lottery app or website, or in their local shop, and to give us a call to claim the first big prizes of 2021.

‘National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country raising, on average, around £30M every week.

‘Thanks to National Lottery players, over £800million has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus, including more than £400million to support the most vulnerable in our communities.’

Winners this year have included Ryan Hoyle, a joiner from Rochdale, who scored a staggering £58,366,487 EuroMillions jackpot in April.

Another was Antjony Canty,  a key worker, who won a £1 Million jackpot in May.
