The record-breaking EuroMillions jackpot of £170 million has finally been paid to its rightful owner, a UK ticket-holder.
The UK winner of the largest EuroMillions jackpot has received their giant winnings of £170 million. The winner finally came forward to claim the biggest jackpot ever seen by the National Lottery.
The winner has decided to stay anonymous. This means Camelot cannot reveal any details about where he/she is from, their age or their personal life.
Camelot has now verified that the £170m prize has been paid to the winner. This was almost three weeks after the draw on 8 October 2019. This figure is nearly £10m more than the previous biggest UK winners.
The winner scooped £170,221,000 after matching all five main numbers on the 8 October draw. The numbers were 07, 10, 15, 44 and 49 – and the two lucky stars – 03, 12. Furthermore, this followed the longest-ever series of rollovers.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What an amazing win – the biggest ever on The National Lottery.
In addition, the winner will receive financial guidance from the Camelot team due to the extremity of this life-changing win.
