A ticketholder from the UK has claimed a massive £79.3m EuroMillions jackpot.
The mystery winner bought the ticket for last Tuesday's draw and is the fifth UK EuroMillions jackpot win of the year.
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder can decide whether to go public and share their news.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It is fantastic news that a lucky ticket-holder has now claimed this enormous prize. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holder through the process."
This is a record-breaking win for the lucky UK EuroMillions jackpot winner, as this is the biggest UK win of the year so far.
The win places the lucky ticket-holder on the National Lottery Rich List, at number 15 of the biggest wins ever, and is the fifth UK EuroMillions jackpot win of 2020.
These wins combined have propelled the UK to the top of the ranks of EuroMillions jackpots won per country, and the UK is now level-pegging with France at 109 jackpots won.
According to Camelot, the exact amount won by the UK ticket holder is £79,315,197.70.
The lucky punter matched all five numbers and the two Lucky Stars to bag the main prize - making them one of the biggest lotto winners of all time.
The numbers were 13, 15, 28, 44, 32 and the Lucky Stars were 3 and 12.
The UK's biggest winners of all time were Colin Weir and his wife, Christine, who won the huge Euromillions £161million jackpot back in 2011.
They became Scotland's biggest ever Lotto winners and the former cameraman was quick to splash the cash.
He forked out for cars, jewellery and property and pumped money into his favourite football club, Partick Thistle, as well as donating massive amounts to good causes.
He also shared his fortune with friends and charitable trusts, and passed on money to his two children with Christine – Carly, 32, and Jamie, 30.
Tragically Colin, who split from his wife of 38 years last summer, died from sepsis late last year.
By that time his fortune had shrunk by £40 million.
