Two UK lottery ticket holders have come forward to claim a share of a £62m EuroMillions jackpot.

If validated they will each receive just over £31.1m, Camelot said.

They are the fourth and fifth EuroMillions jackpot winners in the UK this year after a single ticket holder won £111.7m back in June.

The biggest win for a single UK ticket holder on record was recorded in July last year, when an anonymous person won a jackpot of £195m.
