The lucky couple who won £184 million in the EuroMillions draw over a fortnight ago are expected to go public tomorrow. The prize is the biggest ever won by someone in the UK.
The Gloucestershire pair will still be celebrating after winning the cash on May 10. Camelot say the fortunate couple will talk to the press on Thursday and open up about how they found out their numbers had come up and what they plan to do with the mega amount, reports the Mirror.
The organiser said: "They share some of their plans for the win and how it will transform the lives of their whole family." The UK's last record-breaking lottery win took place in October 2019, when an anonymous ticket-holder won £170million.
Speaking just after the draw, Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “This is absolutely incredible news! Last night saw history made with the biggest ever National Lottery prize won by a single UK ticket-holder, and we’re ecstatic that we’ve now received a claim."
It was the second EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK this year - with the £109million being scooped up in February. In 2021, five UK ticket-holders banked an incredible EuroMillions jackpot win including one who bagged an amazing £122.5million jackpot prize in April and another who won a £111million jackpot in June.
The biggest winners to over go public were Frances and Patrick Connolly. They scooped £114,969,775 after hitting the jackpot on New Year's Day in 2019 - and decided to tell all.
The pair, from County Armagh in Northern Ireland, won after buying a Lucky Dip ticket and celebrated their astonishing win with a hug and a cuppa. Last week's win dwarfs the estimated worth of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon (£150m), Adele (£130m) and boxer Anthony Joshua (£115m).
