Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, has confirmed that it has received a claim for the £20,000,000 jackpot prize won by a single ticket-holder in the special summer ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto draw on Saturday 1 July, 2023.
As with all major prizes, the claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected. Subject to validation the prize will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot’s Winners’ Advisers.
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no information on whether they are an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “We’re delighted that this fantastic Lotto jackpot has been claimed. What a magnificent start to July! It’s been an incredible couple of months for Lotto players with an amazing 24 millionaires made in May and June alone. Our focus is now on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.
“Here’s hoping for another Lotto jackpot winner on Wednesday night (5 July) when there is an estimated £2M up for grabs.”
