The lucky ticket holder of the £109.9million EuroMillions jackpot has collected their life-changing jackpot, Camelot has said.

The mystery winner is now wealthier than British pop star Harry Styles - who is worth about £80million.

No further information about the winner of the February 4 draw will be released unless they agree to publicity.

The single-player matched all five EuroMillions numbers as well as the two Lucky Star numbers to scoop the top prize.

The winning numbers were 03, 25, 38, 43, 49 with Lucky Stars 03 and 07.

Camelot senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, Andy Carter, said: "We're absolutely delighted that the winner of this amazing EuroMillions jackpot prize has come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win."

The country's biggest National Lottery win was a £170 million EuroMillions jackpot won by an anonymous ticket-holder in the draw on October 8, 2019.

In 2020, a key worker scooped up a £1 million Lottery win.

Anthony Canty, 33, initially thought he had won £100,000 on the EuroMillions, so phoned his partner Katie Sullivan, 32, to get the numbers checked.

She started screaming and said: "You div, it's one million, we're millionaires, you have to come home!"

Anthony worked throughout lockdown as an engineer maintaining the water quality for hospitals and care homes in central London.

He took the day off work while the news sank in and they celebrated with a bottle of Prosecco in the garden before sharing the news with friends and family.

In 2019, Ade Goodchild won £71million with his British EuroMillions ticket.

The factory worker, from Hereford, said during a press conference at The Abbey Hotel, a plush venue in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, Ade said: "Anybody I think I couldn't have pulled before has got no chance, because I haven't suddenly become more attractive overnight - just my wallet has.

"I take people as I find them but like I say, I'm not a stupid man.

"I have done stupid things, luckily I've learned from them."

Ade said he celebrated his win by enjoying a takeaway and watching the Six Nations with his mum and dad.

He added: "I’m not one of these winners who is going to say this win won’t change me. It bloody well will or at least I’ll give it a damn good go.

"I put my glasses on to double check and then spotted that it was the jackpot prize and that all my numbers were circled. I thought wow, a lot of people have shared the jackpot this week but fair play.

"Then I read the prize amount again and realised that it was actually £71 million and just one winner - me. It was then that I called my mum and dad. Their reaction was one of complete shock – I still don’t think it’s sunk in for them."
