EuroMillions winner comes forward to claim £170,000,000 prize

The winner of the record £170 million EuroMillions jackpot has been paid their prize, according to Camelot.

A single ticket-holder won £170,221,000 after taking part in the October 8 draw.

The winner has chosen to remain anonymous.

The player came forward two days after the draw to claim the prize, matching five main numbers – 07, 10, 15, 44 and 49 – and the two lucky stars – 03, 12.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: ‘What an amazing win – the biggest ever on The National Lottery.

‘The team will now support and help guide the ticket-holder as they begin their adventure with this life changing win.

‘By buying a ticket for EuroMillions or any other National Lottery game, every player is helping to raise money for good causes.’

The winner is now richer than pop star Ed Sheeran, whose wealth is reported to be around £160 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
