It is the third time a British ticket has won a jackpot of over £150 million this year.

One lucky winner bagged £195million in July, making them richer than Grammy-winner Adele – who is worth around £150m, according to the Sunday Times rich list.

UK ticketholders Joe Thwaite and wife Jess won £184million in the May EuroMillions draw earlier this year.

Despite their astonishing new wealth, one of their first purchases was a second-hand Volvo.

Another life-changing win of £3.6 million was awarded to Helen and Lee Kuchczynski in July 2022.

Helen, 58, said: “We have rented all our married life, and with retirement looming didn’t think that would ever change.

“Instead of the usual Chinese takeaway in front of the telly to celebrate my birthday, we bought a whopping detached house with all the mod cons – it’s even got electric gates!”

Lee, 52, hasn’t missed a beat either as he’s swapped in an HGV for his dream car, an Audi RS4 Avant.
