The lucky winner is just £10m short of the Queen guitarist Brian May, who is worth £90m but can boast of being four times richer than Adele who has a fortune of £20m.

A National Lottery spokesman said: "We've been giving the rest of Europe a chance to win big this year but Lady Luck is clearly shining back down on the UK once again.
"This new jackpot winning ticket-holder flies into sixth place in the exclusive National Lottery Rich List just behind an anonymous ticket-holder who won £84.4m in May 2010."
