One UK ticket-holder has won almost £55 million with the EuroMillions jackpot. Camelot, the National Lottery operator, has urged people to check their tickets to see if they are ticket-holder.
The winning EuroMillions numbers in Friday’s draw were 17, 26, 36, 37, 40 and the Lucky Star numbers were 09, 12. The one ticket-holder will have matched all seven numbers to bag the £54,957,242.50.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What a brilliant night for one UK ticket-holder who has scooped the amazing £54 million EuroMillions jackpot! Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.
“National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country generating more than £30m every week. Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2 billion has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus.”
Last month also saw three major lottery wins for UK ticket-holders. Married couple Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucestershire, made history when they scooped Britain’s biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot of £184 million with a Lucky Dip ticket on May 10.
In the last week of May, one player banked £8.5 million in the Wednesday draw before another scooped £3.8 million in the Saturday draw.
