The one ticket-holder will have matched all seven numbers to bag the £54,957,242.50.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: ‘What a brilliant night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the amazing £54m EuroMillions jackpot!
‘Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.
‘National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country generating more than £30million every week.
