Check your tickets! Winning £170million Euromillions jackpot is still unclaimed

The giant £170million EuroMillions jackpot from the draw on Tuesday, October 8 has been won by one lucky UK ticket-holder but the prize is yet to be claimed.

All UK players are being urged to check their tickets and claim not only the jackpot but the title of the UK’s biggest Lottery winner.

The ticket-holder has won an amazing £170,221,000 with winning numbers 7, 10, 15, 44, 49 and lucky stars 3, 12.

A single winner would immediately become the 703rd richest person in the country according to The Sunday Times Rich List 2019.

And they will be in good company with Sir Tom Jones at £165MMillion and Ed Sheeran at £160Million.

Before the draw on Tuesday October 8, the biggest National Lottery winners in the UK were Colin and Chris Weir from Largs who won £161Million on EuroMillions in 2011.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Camelot, said, "What a stunning night for UK players. Everyone should check their tickets to see if they are the lucky winner. Once we have a call we will start to support the ticket-holder as they start enjoying their life changing win.”

"This EuroMillions roll series has not only seen the jackpot rise to new heights but it has also delivered back to the nation.

"Since the roll began on 23rd July, UK players have won more than £300Million, including an incredible 36 £1MMillion-plus prizes.

"Every EuroMillions ticket sold helps contribute to around £30Million raised every week for Good Causes by The National Lottery – funding everything from local community projects to supporting the nation’s athletes.”
