A single ticket-holder who won £7.4 million in Saturday’s Lotto draw has claimed their jackpot prize, the National Lottery said.
The lucky winner matched all six main numbers and the bonus ball number to take home the entire £7,422,407 jackpot.
The main Lotto winning numbers were 02, 11, 13, 17, 39 and 41. The bonus ball number was 37.
On Wednesday, the National Lottery’s operator, Allwyn, confirmed it received the claim, which will now be validated to ensure it adhered to the rules of the game and the integrity of the National Lottery was protected.
The prize will be paid at an appointment with one of Allwyn’s winners’ advisers.
Once the money has been sent, it will be up to the ticket-holder to decide if they wish to go public.
Information about where they purchased the ticket, or if they won the prize as an individual or as part of a syndicate, will be withheld unless the ticket-holder decides to announce the news.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “We’re delighted that this life-changing Lotto jackpot prize has now been claimed.
“Winning £7.4 million is absolutely incredible and means this lucky ticket-holder can soon start to turn a lot of their dreams into reality!
“Our focus is now on supporting the ticket-holder through the process so they can start enjoying their win as soon as possible.”
In October, three other Lotto players won £1 million each after matching five main numbers and the bonus ball.
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!
