Brits are urged to check their tickets NOW to see if they’re the lucky winner.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said a single UK ticket-holder had scooped the £55 million jackpot in Tuesday’s draw.

He 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 June 2.

“Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.

“Thanks to National Lottery players, £30m is generated every week for Good Causes across the country.

“This money supports projects across the nation, with a total of more than 670,000 grants – to projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date.”

Tonight’s win comes after another Brit won a whopping £46.2million share in May.

A ticket from France and a ticket from Switzerland also matched the winning numbers to each take a third of the £138million prize.

And in June, a lucky UK ticket-holder scooped a EuroMillions jackpot of £111.7million.

With the money, the winner could fund another royal Coronation — last month’s is said to have cost between £50million and £100million.

Or they could buy the £100million Eos Impressive, the world’s largest private superyacht.

The record for the biggest EuroMillions win remains the £195million, won by an anonymous Brit in 2022.

Some winners have done some wacky things with their windfalls.

Gareth Bull, who won £41million in 2012, asked his friends to help him build a manor house with a pool, bar and games room.

The builder bulldozed his bungalow to make room for the luxury property.

He posted on Facebook at the time: “Bungalow down, garage roof on — and can just about see the pub.”
