EuroMillions record-breaking £184m jackpot claimed by single UK ticket holder

A single ticket-holder has come forward to claim the biggest ever jackpot in National Lottery history.

The lucky ticket-holder matched all five numbers and two bonus balls to win a staggering £184million EuroMillions prize.

The record for the largest Euromillions win was previously held by an anonymous winner who bagged £170m in 2019.

The claim must go through a verification process with lottery regulator Camelot before the prize is paid at a consultation with one of their winners’ advisers.

Once the ticket has been verified and paid, the winner can then decide whether or not to go public with their win.

Camelot’s senior winners’ adviser Andy Carter said: “This is absolutely incredible news!

“Last night saw history made with the biggest ever National Lottery prize won by a single UK ticket-holder, and we’re ecstatic that we’ve now received a claim.

“Our focus now is on supporting the ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing and record-breaking win.”

This is the second EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK this year, with the £109 million jackpot from the draw on February 4 claimed a few days later.

The winner chose to remain anonymous.
