National lottery winner scoops £11.1 million jackpot

A lucky national lottery player has won more than £11 million.

The winner claimed £11,165,532 after winning the lottery jackpot on August 14.

Another lottery winner claimed the Set For Life prize - which entitles the person to £10,000 a month for 30 years.

Camelot is now reviewing the claims to make sure the rules have not been broken, reports The Mirror.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What amazing news for not one but two lucky ticket-holders who have now claimed their life-changing multi-million pound Lotto and Set For Life prizes. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holders through the process."

The news comes after Camelot appealed for the winners of the Lotto and Set For Life draws to step forward and claim their prizes.

In March, a couple claimed they missed out on a £182m EuroMillions jackpot when their numbers were drawn but their ticket payment didn’t go through.

Rachel Kennedy, 19, and Liam McCrohan, 21, have been left “absolutely heartbroken” when they realised their usual numbers of 6, 12, 22, 29, 33, 6 and 11 had come up.

They had played the same numbers for five weeks in a row, before all seven digits appeared in the draw on the 26th February.
