UK ticketholder claims £177,033,699.20 EuroMillions jackpot

The winner of a £177,033,699.20 EuroMillions jackpot has been found in the UK.

It’s the third highest lottery prize ever won the UK, coming behind two jackpots won in 2022.

Now the winner of Tuesday’s draw needs to validate their ticket before they can bag the money.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: ‘We are delighted that we have received a claim and will now ensure the ticket-holder gets all the support they need.

‘This is a truly amazing win, and we will focus on guiding them through the process and helping them to start to enjoy their life-changing win.

‘The team here has huge experience of guiding all of our lucky National Lottery winners through the first steps in their journey of embracing their win.’

This latest winner’s identity is yet to be revealed, and they may well choose to stay anonymous.

Many prefer to stay out of the public eye, including the winner of the UK’s all-time biggest lottery jackpot, worth £195,707,000.

They broke the record just two months after Jess and Joe Thwaite broke it with their haul of £184,262,899 in May 2022.
