What happens when you win the lottery? The next steps as claim made for £184 million prize

Camelot has confirmed that a claim has been received for the record-breaking £184 million EuroMillions jackpot prize won by a single UK ticket-holder on Tuesday. The lucky Lottery player matched all seven numbers to win a grand total of £184,262,899.10 - instantly turning them into the UK's biggest ever National Lottery winner, a record previously held by an anonymous ticket-holder who banked £170 million in October 2019.

The winning numbers for Tuesday's draw were 3, 25, 27, 28 and 29, plus Lucky Star numbers 4 and 9. The claim will now go through a validation process before the prize is paid at an appointment with one of Camelot's winners' advisers.

But what is the actual process for getting your prize money, if you're lucky enough to win? Once you've bought your ticket, watched the draw and checked your numbers (and won), players need to contact Camelot - the operator of the UK National Lottery - to let them know that they have the winning ticket.
