A single British ticket-holder has scooped Europe's biggest lottery prize, winning £161 million ($A241 million).
The ticketholder, who has not been identified, will be the 430th richest person in Britain if they are not a member of a syndicate.
The winner matched all five main numbers and both the Lucky Star numbers to win the Euromillions jackpot at odds of 116 million to one.
A British National Lottery spokesman said: ''This is the biggest winner this country and Europe has ever seen and follows hot on the heels of the anonymous ticketholder who last October scooped £113 million.''
No details have ever been revealed about last October's Euromillions winner.
