The National Lottery’s operator said the claim needs to be validated to ensure terms and conditions have been met before the money can be paid.
The winner will then have the option to go public or remain anonymous.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser 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 ticketholder 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 (July 5) when there is an estimated £2 million up for grabs.”
Last month in June, two individuals won EuroMillions jackpot prizes worth £111.7 million and £55 million.
