Two ticketholders have come forward to claim their half of a staggering £91 million Euromillions jackpot.

The winners will receive more than £45.5 million each when their tickets have been fully validated, Camelot said.

A lottery spokesman said: "No further details on the tickets or ticketholders will be released until the tickets have been fully validated and the prizes paid out."

If the ticketholders are individuals rather than syndicates they will be catapulted straight into the list of the nation's richest people.

Wealth of that magnitude would put them in the same league as DJ Chris Evans, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and film star Sir Michael Caine, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Racing drivers David Coulthard and Jenson Button, supermodel Kate Moss, footballer Michael Owen and pop stars Pete Townshend and Sir Cliff Richard are also each worth between £40 million and £45 million, the list says.

It would be the first time that Lottery winners have made it onto the run down of the wealthiest people.

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