It was confirmed later on Friday that one lucky punter from Spain was the big winner.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor, said: “This huge jackpot has been really exciting for players all over the UK and Europe.
"Even though a UK player wasn’t lucky enough to scoop the big one this time, this roll series alone has generated more than £66 million for Good Causes here in the UK, adding to the £37 billion raised to date.
"Friday's draw also saw four UK players win a fantastic £900,571 for matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, as well as two lucky UK winners of a guaranteed £1 million.
"We urge all players to check their tickets quickly to see if they're the winner - we have champagne on ice ready to celebrate."
The draw was supposed to be made at 9pm but there was a long delay in releasing the numbers.
The National Lottery did not give a reason for the delay when contacted by Mirror Online but did say: "It takes longer to sort out the bigger draws."

The draw finally took place at around 9.46pm.
Disgruntled Euromillions players were furious at the delay and took to Twitter to complain.
One waiting player wrote: "Any chance of this Euromillions draw happening soon? Lad needs some kip."
Another added: "The euromillions draw is 50 minutes late. glad I voted out in brexit tbh."
A third said: "I'm here waiting for the euromillions draw, knowing i won't win but the suspense is killing me."
The biggest-ever British winners remain Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, Scotland who won £161 million in 2011.
They have earned £5million a year in interest alone since their win and joked at the time about becoming as rich as David and Victoria Beckham overnight.
Gillian and Adrian Bayford from Haverhill, Suffolk, are the UK’s second-biggest winners, trousering £148million in 2012.
And an anonymous ticket-holder won £113million in 2010.
Friday's National Lottery Thunderball numbers are: 6, 7, 20, 24, 39 with the special number 5.
