Brits to share £90m lottery prize

EuroMillions tickets

Two very lucky people will be celebrating after winning the largest ever lottery prize paid out in the UK.

Nine European countries take part in the EuroMillions lottery, but this week's huge £90m jackpot has been won by two ticketholders in the UK.

It means each winner will get more than £45m! If either ticket belongs to one person, and not a group of friends, it will also be the UK's biggest solo win.

Until now, the biggest single win in the UK was £35.4m in 2007.

So if your mum or dad do the lottery, get them to check their numbers! Friday's winning numbers were 19, 43, 45, 34, 11 and the Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
