wo British tickets shared the 100m euros (?90m) EuroMillions jackpot on Friday, according to operator Camelot.A spokesman said neither ticketholder had yet come forward to claim their ?45,570,835.50 - the largest lottery prizes ever paid out in the UK.

She offered her congratulations to the latest millionaires "on taking my National Lottery title".
"My win has enabled me to bring a great deal of happiness to my friends and family, which has in turn made me very happy," she said.
"I wish the new winner the best of luck."
