A claim has been made for the £33 million EuroMillions jackpot won in Friday’s draw, organisers have confirmed.
Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said a single UK ticket-holder had come forward for the £33,078,306.60 prize.
The winning player matched all five main numbers, which were 11, 13, 29, 31 and 47, and the two Lucky Stars of 01 and 11.
The EuroMillions claim will now go through the usual validation process before any prize is paid out at an appointment with one of The National Lottery’s winners’ advisers.
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticketholder will decide whether or not to go public and share their news.
It comes after a single ticket holder also won the £15 million Lotto Must Be Won jackpot on Saturday, which has yet to be claimed.
A total of five millionaires have been made across the Lotto and EuroMillions draws this weekend, with three further players scrooping £1 million each.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What a wonderful weekend, with a whooping wealth of winners walking away with a win.
“Over two million prizes have been won in just these two draws across two days which is astonishing, and we urge all players to check their tickets so they can see if they are a Lotto or EuroMillions winner.
“The big EuroMillions winner will now receive our full support through the validation process and help to enable them to quickly start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.
“And we look forward to meeting the £15m Lotto jackpot winner once they give us a call.”
It is the second time the EuroMillions jackpot has been won in the UK this year, after Richard and Debbie Nuttall from Lancashire won £61m on January 30.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
