The UK winner of the £161m Euromillions jackpot has claimed their prize, lottery operator Camelot has confirmed.
It is not yet known if the ticket holder is an individual or syndicate - or whether they will go public.
If the winner is a single player, they would instantly be placed 430th in this year's Sunday Times Rich List.
Tuesday's £161,653,000 prize was Europe's biggest-ever and was capped after a series of rollovers. It follows a £113m UK Euromillions win in October.
The winner of the £161m prize successfully matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars.
The numbers were 17, 19, 38, 42 and 45, and the Lucky Stars were 9 and 10.
And two other UK-based lottery players won £1.7m after they successfully matched five numbers and one Lucky Star.
Before Tuesday's draw, the largest lottery winner in the UK was the player who claimed £113m in the EuroMillions last October and chose to remain anonymous.
