In an exciting turn of events, a lucky UK ticket-holder has come forward to claim the astounding £111.7 million jackpot from the recent EuroMillions draw held on Friday.
Camelot, the lottery operator, confirmed that it has received the claim, which will now undergo a thorough process of validation. Once the ticket has been validated and the prize paid, the winner will have the choice of whether or not to share the incredible news with the public.
This remarkable win will make the fortunate individual the 18th player from the UK to secure a EuroMillions jackpot exceeding £100 million. The winning numbers for the draw were 03, 12, 15, 25, and 43, with Lucky Stars 10 and 11.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List, the newly minted millionaire will surpass the wealth of notable figures such as England footballer Harry Kane (£51 million), Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe (£92 million), and pop singer Dua Lipa (£75 million).
Andy Carter, senior winners‘ adviser at the National Lottery, expressed his delight, stating, “It is wonderful news that a lucky ticket-holder has claimed this incredible prize.”
Just last month, another UK ticket-holder secured £46.2 million out of a potential £138 million jackpot. Additionally, in July of the previous year, a UK player won a record-breaking £195 million jackpot but opted to remain anonymous.
The EuroMillions jackpot win serves as a reminder of the life-changing opportunities the lottery offers, giving individuals the chance to turn their dreams into reality. As the winner basks in their newfound fortune, many will undoubtedly imagine what they would do with such a substantial windfall.
The EuroMillions draw continues to captivate millions of hopeful participants, fuelling the dreams of a fortunate few who dare to envision a life filled with unimaginable luxury and financial freedom.
