The jackpot prize worth £61,708,231 was won by a UK ticket-holder in the draw on Tuesday January 30, 2024.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “This is absolutely incredible news and we’re delighted that we’ve received a claim.
“This is the first UK EuroMillions jackpot win of 2024, following on from an incredible 2023 which saw six UK EuroMillions jackpots won, including a £111.7million win by an anonymous single ticket-holder in June.
“Our focus is now on supporting this latest lucky ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.”
As with all major prizes, the claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected.
Subject to validation, the prize will then be paid at an appointment with one of The National Lottery’s Winners’ Advisers.
