A UK ticket-holder has come forward to claim Tuesday’s £181 million EuroMillions jackpot, operator Allwyn said.
In the third biggest UK National Lottery win of all time, one lucky player matched all five category main numbers, plus the two lucky star numbers to win £181,073,415.70.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said: “This is an incredible win for one lucky ticket-holder. They have immediately leaped into third place in the National Lottery rich list and have a fortune to rival Adele.
“This jackpot will no doubt change their life, and the lives of the family and friends around them and even make a difference across entire communities.
“The team of winners’ advisers here at Allwyn are now on hand to guide the ticket-holder through the claim and then to provide the support they need as they embark on their new life.”
