A single UK ticket holder has won a remarkable £157 million in the EuroMillions draw on November 28, becoming the country's biggest lottery winner of the year. The top prize came as a result of a rollover from the previous week.
The winning EuroMillions numbers for Friday night’s draw were:
13, 20, 42, 45, 49
Lucky Stars: 7 and 9
The exact value of the jackpot reached £157,000,000 after several consecutive rollovers that built up the prize pool.
Camelot, the operator of the National Lottery, confirmed the win and encouraged players to check their tickets as soon as possible. A spokesperson stated that if the player comes forward promptly, they will receive one of the largest single payouts in UK lottery history.
Previous major winners this year have taken home prizes between £110 million and £120 million, making this victory a significant record-breaker. Players across the UK have been urged to validate their entries to ensure they do not miss out.
If the winner claims the prize, they will have the choice between remaining anonymous or revealing their identity publicly. Camelot will make official arrangements to assist the winner through the claims process and financial planning.
