The numbers drawn were 10, 17, 18, 28, 47 and Lucky Stars were 3 and 7 with the jackpot winners landing £77,798,898.10 each.

"As well as one lucky UK player banking a life-changing £77 million share of the jackpot, tonight's special millionaire event saw seven £1 million winners made in the UK.

"We urge everyone to check their tickets to see if they've joined the National Lottery millionaires club and look forward to raising a glass with our brand new millionaires."
