A Briton has scooped a mind-boggling £81million by landing the EuroMillions jackpot.

The mystery winner’s gargantuan haul is not the largest ever won on the lottery but puts the ticket-holder sixth on the National Lottery Rich List.

A National Lottery spokesman said: “We’ve been giving the rest of Europe a chance to win big this year but Lady Luck is clearly shining back down on the UK once again.

“This new jackpot winning ticket-holder flies into sixth place in the exclusive National Lottery Rich List just behind an anonymous ticket-holder who won £84.4 million in May 2010.

“The run of luck for UK players doesn’t end there - this Friday, EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle guarantees that one lucky ticket-holder will win £1 million a month for a whole year.

“To be in with a chance of becoming a millionaire twelve times over, National Lottery players need to buy a ticket for Friday’s EuroMillions draw.”

Tonight’s winning numbers were 34,38,13,08,26 and the Lucky Star numbers were 03 and 11.

Dreams of yachts, sandy beaches and fast cars could become a reality for the ticket holder and with those winnings they have become one of the wealthiest people in the land.

According to The Sunday Times Rich List 2012, winning £80 million would make you the joint 908th richest person in the country.

The lucky winner is just £10 million short of music legend Brian May who is worth £90 million, but can boast of being four times richer than Adele who has a fortune of £20 million.
