Your support makes all the difference.A claim has been staked for the £109.9 million jackpot won by a single UK ticket-holder in last Friday night's EuroMillions draw, Camelot said.
The player won the top prize by matching the seven winning numbers, three, 25, 38, 43, and 49, and the Lucky Star numbers, which were three and seven.
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.
Camelot's senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, Andy Carter, said: "We're delighted this amazing prize has now been claimed. It's an amazing EuroMillions jackpot win which has propelled the lucky winner into the list of the top 10 biggest National Lottery winners ever.
"Our focus now is on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win."
This is the first EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK this year and the ticket-holder has jumped into 10th place on the National Lottery's rich list.
The country's biggest ever National Lottery win was a £170 million EuroMillions jackpot won by an anonymous ticket-holder in the draw on 8 October 2019.
All those who entered the draw were urged to check their tickets to see if they have won the huge prize.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at The National Lottery, said at the time: "What an amazing night for a single UK ticket-holder who has scooped tonight's whopping £109.9 million special EuroMillions Super Jackpot.
"Players are urged to check their tickets and give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner."
