Lucky Brit comes forward to claim £105m EuroMillions win

One lucky Brit has come forward to claim a massive £105million jackpot prize, but their identity remains a mystery.

The single-ticket holder claimed the cash after winning on Tuesday night (November 19) - and the sum makes them one of the biggest-ever lottery winners in the UK.


The winner's identity is still unknown - it could stay that way if they choose to remain anonymous.

Their prize has not yet been paid out as the ticket cannot be validated until Monday morning (November 25).

Six Britons have won big in the EuroMilllions so far this year in what has been a highly successful year for UK punters.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said: "This is the sixth massive EuroMillions jackpot win in 2019 and follows the nation's biggest ever win of £170million just last month.


A EuroMillions spokesperson said: "The prize will be paid out at the ticket validation appointment.

"The ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

"There will be no information on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public."

The EuroMillions spokesperson added: "This is the sixth EuroMillions jackpot win in the UK this year and further adds to the 5,500 millionaires made by the National Lottery since it launched."

Patrick and Frances Connolly, from Northern Ireland, won £114.9million on EuroMillions in the draw on New Year’s Day.

Ade Goodchild scooped £71million in March and an anonymous ticket-holder bagged £38.2million in April.

In June, a ticket-holder who chose to remain anonymous won £123million.

Last month the country’s biggest ever winner was made when an anonymous ticketholder scooped £170million.

The previous biggest winners in the UK were Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, who won £161million in July 2011.
