A claim has been made for the £33 million EuroMillions jackpot won in Friday’s draw, organisers have confirmed.

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said a single UK ticket-holder had come forward for the £33,078,306.60 prize.

The winning player matched all five main numbers, which were 11, 13, 29, 31 and 47, and the two Lucky Stars of 01 and 11.

It is the second time the EuroMillions jackpot has been won in the UK this year, after Richard and Debbie Nuttall from Colne won £61m on January 30.

The lucky couple matched all the numbers in the £123 million draw whilst on holiday in Fuerteventura.

At the time, Richard said: "It was the second day of our holiday and I had got up early to finish off a bit of work.

"I noticed the email from the National Lottery stating that there was ‘exciting news about your ticket.

“So I checked my National Lottery account and saw the balance had gone up and we’d won £2.60. Fair enough.

"I shut my laptop, had breakfast and then we set off for the day, driving around the island. We enjoyed the sea views, blue skies and windsurfers before heading back.  

“It was early afternoon when we spotted another email saying we should check our account. I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check.

"We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61 million.

“We thought about staying private but the news was going to leak anyway and it would have been a completely different story."

He added that “friends and family will be taken care of", and their first purchase was some new bedding, a hairdryer and some new golf clubs.

The EuroMillions claim will now go through the usual validation process before any prize is paid out at an appointment with one of The National Lottery’s winners’ advisers.

Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticketholder will decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

It comes after a single ticket holder also won the £15 million Lotto Must Be Won jackpot on Saturday, which has yet to be claimed.

A total of five millionaires have been made across the Lotto and EuroMillions draws this weekend, with three further players scooping £1 million each.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What a wonderful weekend, with a whooping wealth of winners walking away with a win.

“Over two million prizes have been won in just these two draws across two days which is astonishing, and we urge all players to check their tickets so they can see if they are a Lotto or EuroMillions winner.

“The big EuroMillions winner will now receive our full support through the validation process and help to enable them to quickly start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.

“And we look forward to meeting the £15m Lotto jackpot winner once they give us a call.”
