Someone in the UK has just claimed £46,200,000 EuroMillions jackpot
One lucky Brit has staked a claim for the £46.2 million jackpot prize won by a UK ticket holder in Friday’s EuroMillions draw, Camelot has said.
A ticket from France and a ticket from Switzerland also matched the winning numbers to each take a third of the £138 million jackpot.
The winning numbers were 03, 08, 18, 34 and 49 with Lucky Stars 03 and 07.
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 they are 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, ‘This is absolutely incredible news and we’re delighted that we’ve received a claim.
‘Our focus is now on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.’
Following on from an incredible year of winning 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, this is the first UK EuroMillions jackpot win of 2023.
