Britsh winners scoop record lottery jackpot

They scooped £45,570,835.50 each - the largest lottery prizes ever paid out in the UK.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "This is fantastic news. These two ticketholders have just banked the largest lottery prizes ever paid out in the country."

The spokeswoman added: "We have plenty of champagne on ice and are looking forward to welcoming the lucky ticketholders to the National Lottery millionaires' club."

The winners soar into the top spot on The National Lottery Rich List, trumping Glasgow postal worker Angela Kelly's £35.4m win in August 2007.

The winning numbers were 11, 19, 34, 43 and 45. The Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
