Christmas has come early for one lucky lottery player after a claim was made for the £13 million jackpot prize.
The National Lottery operator, Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, confirmed on Friday that it had received a claim for the £13,035,101 prize won by a single ticket-holder in the Lotto ‘Must Be Won’ draw on Wednesday.
The claim must go through a validation process, after which the prize will be paid before the ticket-holder chooses whether to go public or not.
“We’re over the moon that this fantastic Lotto jackpot prize has now been claimed,” said Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at the National Lottery.
“Winning a Lotto jackpot is the stuff that dreams are made of, and it’s even more magical in the lead-up to Christmas.
“Just imagine the possibilities for Lotto’s latest multi-millionaire this festive season!
“Our focus is now on supporting this winning ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.”
