One ticket holder may have bagged the world's biggest lottery with 110 million pounds in the EuroMillions jackpot. According to Camelot Group, the operators of the UK National Lottery, the ticket was bought in Spain and if it is owned by a single person, then it will set the record for the world's biggest lottery jackpot win.

And this would mean, they would turn out to be joint 492nd richest person in Britain and could match the fortune of surviving Bee Gees Robin and Barry Gibb and Renault Formula One chief Flavio Briatore.

"This huge jackpot has been really exciting for players all over the UK and Europe," the Telegraph quoted a National Lottery spokeswoman as saying. "Even though a British player wasn't lucky enough to scoop the big one this time, to date over 971 million pounds has been paid out in EuroMillions prize money and more than 61 million EuroMillions prizes have been won in the UK - plus the nation has benefited through the money raised for good causes," she added.
