A winning Lotto ticket-holder has claimed their £12.8million prize - from Wednesday's 'Must Be Won' draw.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at the lottery operator Camelot, said: “We’re delighted that this fantastic Lotto jackpot has been claimed.
"Our focus is now on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.
"What with Bonfire Night on Saturday, this latest National Lottery multi-millionaire winner has rocketed into some serious wealth!"
It comes after another Brit won the £20million jackpot prize in the special ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto in August.
For many, winning the lottery feels like the answer to most of their problems - and winning a huge jackpot is seen as one of the luckiest things that could happen to you.
But for some who won huge sums, their huge fortunes ended up becoming a burden, leading to poverty, huge bust-ups and even death.
While others went on to enjoy their new fortunes, living a decadent lifestyle beyond our dreams, it's clear it isn't always a good thing.
Karl Crompton fell foul of the so-called "lottery curse" after his childhood sweetheart left him.
He won £11million on the National Lottery aged 23 in 1996, and has doubled his cash through savvy investments.
But in 2020, his wife Nicole, with who he has two kids, was pictured leaving their £2million home he built for them in Fylde, Lancs., and was spotted not wearing her wedding ring last week.
"We’re all a bit worried about Karl," an anonymous pal told the Sun at the time. "He seems heartbroken.”
For Margaret Loughrey, becoming a multi-millionaire overnight was a total nightmare.
She won the top prize of almost €32million in November 2013 - after picking up her ticket following a visit to the Jobcentre.
Until then, she'd been living on €83 a week as a divorcee in a tiny cottage in Strabane, Co Tyrone.
The third of six children, she rang her brother Paul first - who says he instantly knew this wouldn't end well.
He told the Irish Sunday Mirror : "I was the first to be told. We were close right up until the money. But from that day I knew.
"I told the rest of the family this is not going to be good for Margaret.
"Over the years people have said to me, 'It must be great to win all that?'
"But I'd say be very careful what you wish for because it nearly ruined all our family, not just Margaret."
