UK Ticket-Holder Claims a £26 Million European Lottery Jackpot
An individual British ticket-holder has secured the £26m EuroMillions top prize, game organizers have verified.
The winning numbers picked on the Friday draw were 06, 12, 18, 25 and 41, with the Star numbers 02 and 06.
This marks the third EuroMillions top prize claimed in the UK this year out of the ten conducted to date.
Earlier this year, a single player secured £83 million, then came a sixty-five million pound Valentine's win. Each victor chose to remain unidentified.
Nevertheless, the winner of last Saturday's £10.6 million UK Lotto top prize has still not appeared.
A top consultant encouraged ticket holders to take a few minutes to check their tickets and online notifications.
The winning Lotto numbers for last Saturday were: 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 and the extra ball was 42.
"We are available to provide guidance and connect with experts who can support successful players optimize the win for themselves and their loved ones," the adviser stated.
The EuroMillions win will be checked against the lottery regulations, and when validated, the successful player will choose whether to reveal their identity.
Although granting them vast wealth, the recent win of twenty-six million pounds does not rank the player among the top European lottery jackpot winners.
A win of more than £183 million would have been necessary to earn a position in the premier rankings of largest wins.
The largest win won by a UK ticket-holder is £195m in two years ago, according to EuroMillions.
While it is challenging to hit the prize, it is simpler than one might imagine to miss out on the winnings.
A player failed to claim a one million pound prize recently after missing the deadline for a EuroMillions win within the 180 day deadline, meaning the money was instead donated to good causes supported by the lottery.
The largest EuroMillions jackpot to go unclaimed in the UK was £63.8m in June 2012.
The EuroMillions game is conducted every Tuesday and Friday across multiple European states.
