The winning EuroMillions numbers in Friday’s draw were 17, 26, 36, 37, 40 and the Lucky Star numbers were 09, 12.
The one ticket-holder will have matched all seven numbers to bag the jackpot £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.”
The draw machine which produced the UK jackpot win was number 13 – an unlucky number for many.
No one matched all five EuroMillions numbers and one Lucky Star number.
But two ticket-holders have matched all five numbers to win £29,738.70 each.
While seven UK winners matched 4 numbers, clinching £1,277.60 each.

“Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2bn has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus.”
