British Punter Claims £26m EuroMillions Top Prize

EuroMillions Ticket Jackpot Payout

An individual UK ticket-holder has won the £26 million Euro Millions jackpot, game organizers have announced.

The winning numbers picked on Friday evening were 06, 12, 18, 25 and 41, with the Star numbers 02 and 06.

This marks the third Euro Millions jackpot secured in the United Kingdom this year out of 10 drawn up to now.

At the start of the year, a single player secured £83m, then came a £65 million Valentine's Day win. Each victor chose to remain unknown.

Yet, the successful player of the Saturday £10.6m Lotto top prize has not yet claimed.

An expert advisor encouraged players to take a few minutes to check their tickets and emails.

The successful Lotto digits for last Saturday were: 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 and the additional digit was 42.

"We are available to provide guidance and provide specialists who can support successful players optimize the prize for them and their loved ones," the representative commented.

The EuroMillions win will be checked against the game's terms and conditions, and after confirmation, the winner will choose whether to go public.

Although turning them into a millionaire, the Friday jackpot of twenty-six million pounds does not put the winner among EuroMillions' largest-ever successful players.

A jackpot of more than £183 million would have been required to get a spot in the premier rankings of jackpot prizes.

The top jackpot secured by a UK ticket-holder is 195 million pounds in the year 2022, based on data from the lottery.

While it is hard to secure a jackpot, it is easier than many think to fail to claim it.

A player failed to claim a £1m win last year after failing to claim a lottery success within the six-month claim period, meaning the money was given to charitable causes.

The largest EuroMillions prize to go unclaimed in the UK was £63.8 million in June 2012.

The EuroMillions draw is takes place every Tuesday and Friday across nine nations in Europe.
