Two Brits Share £90m Euromillions Jackpot
They scooped £45,570,835.50 each - the largest lottery prizes ever paid out in
the UK.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "This is fantastic news.
"These two ticketholders have just banked the largest lottery prizes ever in the country."
She added: "We have plenty of champagne on ice and are looking forward to welcoming the lucky ticketholders to the National Lottery millionaires' club."
The previous highest prize belonged to Glasgow postal worker Angela Kelly, who won £35.4m in August 2007.
Last night's winning numbers were 19, 43, 45, 34 and 11. The Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
From next week every Euromillions ticket will include the Millionaire Raffle game, where every week one UK player will win £1m.
This month The National Lottery is celebrating its 15th anniversary.
Since the launch in 1994 more than 2,300 millionaires have been created and more than £23bn raised for good causes.
