A CLAIM has been staked for Friday’s £171m EuroMillions jackpot, National Lottery operator Camelot said.

One lucky UK ticket-holder scooped the £171,815,297.80 prize – the third biggest National Lottery win.

It means they are instantly richer than singers Harry Styles, who is worth an estimated £100m, and Adele, worth an estimated £150m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
