A National Lottery spokesman said "the champagne was on ice".
The largest UK win was claimed by Colin and Christine Weir, of Largs in Scotland, who won £161m in July 2011.
The second largest UK win- £148m - went to Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Haverhill, Suffolk, in August 2012, while the third biggest jackpot of £113m was claimed by an anonymous winner in October 2010.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "This bank holiday has turned out to be truly memorable for one UK winner, not only will they enjoy the extra day off but they'll now also be banking a multi-million pound cheque.
"This single UK ticket-holder will enter the exclusive top 10 on the National Lottery rich list - at number eight - and we've got the champagne on ice ready for the lucky winner to claim their prize."
