Lottery officials are waiting for a UK ticketholder to come forward to claim the country's biggest jackpot.
There was no clue to the identity or location of the winner of the £84.4 million EuroMillions prize, which was announced on Friday. According to Camelot, the lucky ticketholder could receive the windfall on Monday if they stake a claim which can be verified over the weekend.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "This latest win tops the country's amazing run of EuroMillions luck. The list of multimillion-pound jackpot winners in the UK just keeps growing - this is the seventh win over £24m in the past year.
"Needless to say, plenty of champagne is on ice for the winner and we look forward to them coming forward to claim their prize."
The five winning numbers in last night's draw were 1, 17, 31, 43 and 47, with the Lucky Star numbers 2 and 3.
Previous winners congratulated the latest multimillionaire, whose prize tops the £56 million jackpot paid out to Gloucestershire couple Nigel Page and Justine Laycock in February.
They shared a £113 million EuroMillions jackpot with a winner from Spain. The couple, who have since married, live near Cirencester in Gloucestershire.
Mrs Page said: "Nigel and I are thrilled to pieces for the new winners. The last couple of months have been amazing for us. We now have a beautiful new home and have been able to help so many people.
"We feel very settled now and our advice would be stay grounded, be yourself and enjoy it. We want to wish the new title holders the very best of luck."
Angela Kelly, who won £35.4m in August 2007, said: "Congratulations to the new British lottery record holders. It is an amazing experience to win a jackpot and I wish them all the best for the future. A EuroMillions win not only means you can change your own life but also the lives of the people closest to you, and it is that which particularly brings me a great deal of joy."
