A UK player has staked a claim for the £111.7million EuroMillions jackpot. The UK ticket-holder is thought to be the only winner of Friday's huge prize sum.
Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, confirmed it has received a claim for the jackpot. The claim will now go through a validation process and, if approved, will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot's winners' advisors.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “It is wonderful news that a lucky ticket-holder has claimed this incredible prize. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holder through the validation and help them start to enjoy their win.”
Once the win has been validated the ticket-holder will then get to decide whether to go public with the news or keep it a secret. The winning numbers were 03, 12, 15, 25 and 43 with Lucky Stars 10 and 11.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List, the winner will become richer than Harry Kane (£51m), Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe (£92m) and singer Dua Lipa (£75m).
The winner will be only the 18th UK player to have won more than £100m through the EuroMillions jackpot. Last year, an anonymous UK player won the record jackpot of £195m.
