Who is EuroMillions winner Steve Thomson and how much did he win?

A builder Steve Thomson, 42, has won the £105million EuroMillions jackpot, the National Lottery said.

The astonishing win has instantly made him and wife Lenka, 41, richer than Coldplay's Chris Martin and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe - and one of the biggest British winners of all time.

Steve Thomson realised he won on Friday and said he felt like he was "on the verge of having a heart attack" when he saw the numbers on his ticket match up.

The couple, who have been together for 17 years, have said their lottery win is all about their family, even though their 10-year-old son has now asked for a Tesla.

Steve Thomson said: “To be able to give our children a bedroom each is a big thing, so we have been looking for a house.

"We will stay locally but somewhere with some space.

"I would like to build our own place eventually but we’ve been looking at houses online for now. We will also support our families by buying them houses.

"The children haven’t asked for much at all. His own room will be everything to our eldest son, who is 15.

"Our other son did ask for a Tesla but he is only 10. And our daughter, who is 8, has her sights firmly set on a pink iPhone.”

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said on Saturday: "What a way to celebrate 25 years of the National Lottery.

"This is the sixth massive EuroMillions jackpot win in 2019 and follows the nation's biggest ever win of £170 million just last month.

"We now focus on supporting the ticket-holder as they start to enjoy their newfound wealth.

"There is another chance to win big tonight with a £25 million must-be-won Lotto jackpot up for grabs. Make sure you have a ticket to be in with a chance to win big."

What were the winning numbers?

Steve and Lenka's EuroMillions winning numbers are: 8, 10, 15, 30 and 42.

The Lucky Star numbers were 4 and 6.

The Thunderball winning numbers are: 4, 11, 29, 34, 35 and the Thunderball is 2.

Another punter also became a millionaire by matching the Millionaire Maker code ZMSF 62402.
