The lucky winner will receive £24,951,269.40, which is the third largest UK lottery jackpot ever.
Another ticketholder in Ireland also won the same amount in Friday night's draw.
"We are absolutely delighted that one UK ticketholder has scooped a £24.9 million share of this Euromillions jackpot alongside one ticketholder from Ireland," said a Camelot spokeswoman.
"We have plenty of champagne on ice and are looking forward to welcoming the lucky ticketholder to the National Lottery Millionaires club."
Camelot bosses are now waiting to see if anyone comes forward to claim the prize.
The UK's biggest ever lottery winner was postal worker Angela Kelly, from East Kilbride, near Glasgow, who scooped £35.4 million in August 2007.
A ticketholder also won £26.5 million in the same month, but kept their details private.
The two winners in Friday night's Euromillions draw each had the five main numbers and the two lucky star numbers.
Ten others each scooped almost £250,000 for getting five main numbers and one lucky star.
