A UK ticket-holder has won Friday's £110m EuroMillions jackpot, it has been confirmed.

If the winner is a single ticket-holder, it would make them richer than Harry Styles and Gary Barlow, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Only 15 UK players have won a jackpot of more than £100m, making this win one of the country's biggest.

Friday's winning numbers were 7, 12, 13, 20 and 45, with 3 and 12 selected for the Lucky Star numbers.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said it was a "fabulous night".

"Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner," he said.

More than £30m is generated every week from the National Lottery for causes across the UK, Mr Carter added.

"This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations' athletes at the recent Commonwealth Games," he said.

The EuroMillions game is played in nine countries.
