Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, has confirmed that it has received a claim for the EuroMillions jackpot prize won by a single UK ticket-holder from the draw on Friday. The lucky ticket-holder scooped an incredible £111,709,000.
As with all major prizes, the claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected. Subject to validation, the prize will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot’s Winners’ Advisers.
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no information on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It is wonderful news that a lucky ticket-holder has claimed this incredible prize. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holder through the validation and help them start to enjoy their win.”
This is the second EuroMillions jackpot winner in the UK this year after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped £46M in the draw on Friday 5 May 2023. Last night’s ticket-holder will occupy 12th place on The National Lottery Rich List of the biggest jackpot winners. It follows an incredible year of luck for UK Euromillions players in 2022, when a total of six Euromillions jackpots totalling over £820M in prize money were won by UK ticket-holders.
By playing any National Lottery game, players generate more than £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps support everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our nations' athletes win medals at last summer’s Commonwealth Games. To date, over £47BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.
