A ticketholder from the UK has won £101m on Euromillions - the third largest lottery jackpot in UK history.
It is the second major Euromillions win in the UK this year - in July, Colin and Chris Weir, from Ayrshire, won a record European lottery prize of £161m.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "This is amazing news, we are absolutely delighted."
Friday's winning numbers were 18, 26, 34, 38 and 42 and the Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 8.
UK ticketholders have banked the Euromillions jackpot more than 15 times in the last two years.
Last year two anonymous UK winners scooped £113m and £84m.
It is too early to say if the latest prize - has gone to a single person, a couple or a syndicate, the National Lottery said.
Nine countries participate in Euromillions and all prizes are tax-free, except in Switzerland.
