Mystery UK ticket-holder comes forward to claim 'life-changing' £111m EuroMillions jackpot

Someone in the UK has stepped forward to claim the £111,709,000 EuroMillions jackpot after their ticket matched all five main numbers — 11, 12, 15, 38, 49 — plus Lucky Stars 10 and 12 in Friday's draw. Allwyn's senior winners' adviser Andy Carter confirmed the win and said the operator would support the player through their "life-changing journey." This makes the mystery claimant the fourth UK player this year to land a EuroMillions jackpot, and the prize sits joint-14th on the all-time list of largest UK wins.

At £111m, the prize becomes the 21st National Lottery jackpot of £100m or more to be claimed in the UK.

This year has already seen a solo UK player collect £181m in March, while two UK winners split a £125m jackpot alongside a French player in April.

The UK EuroMillions record of £195.7m was claimed anonymously in July 2022, and the latest winner's identity has similarly not been revealed.
