A lucky Brit has claimed a huge jackpot prize
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “This is absolutely incredible news and we’re delighted that we’ve received a claim. Our focus is now on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.
“This is the third UK EuroMillions jackpot win of 2023 and the second win this month.
“On June 2, one lucky UK ticket-holder scooped the entire £111.7M EuroMillions jackpot, making them the 12th biggest National Lottery winner of all time.
“This huge win followed on from a UK ticket-holder sharing the £138.6M jackpot from the draw on 5 May with players from France and Switzerland – the lucky UK winner consequently scooped an incredible £46.2M share of the jackpot.”
Last June, a lucky UK ticket-holder also scooped a EuroMillions jackpot of £111.7million.
With the money, the winner could fund another royal Coronation — last month’s is said to have cost between £50million and £100million.
Or they could buy the £100million Eos Impressive, the world’s largest private superyacht.
The record for the biggest EuroMillions win remains the £195million, won by an anonymous Brit in 2022.
Some winners have done some wacky things with their windfalls.
Gareth Bull, who won £41million in 2012, asked his friends to help him build a manor house with a pool, bar and games room.
The builder bulldozed his bungalow to make room for the luxury property.
He posted on Facebook at the time: “Bungalow down, garage roof on — and can just about see the pub.”
