Lucky lotto winner bags £25million
A LUCKY punter in the UK scooped almost £25million in the Euromillions Lottery draw last night.
The winner will receive £24,951,269.40 – the third largest UK lottery jackpot.
A ticketholder in Ireland won the same amount in last night’s draw.
“We are absolutely delighted that one UK ticketholder has scooped a £24.9million share of this Euromillions jackpot alongside one ticketholder from Ireland,” said a Camelot spokeswoman.
“We have plenty of champagne on ice and are looking forward to welcoming the lucky ticketholder to the National Lottery Millionaires club.”
Camelot bosses are now waiting to see if anyone comes forward to claim the prize.
UK’s biggest ever lottery winner was postal worker Angela Kelly, from East Kilbride, near Glasgow, who scooped £35.4million in August 2007.
The two winners in last night’s Euromillions draw each had the five main numbers of 6, 14, 16, 34, 50 and the two lucky star numbers 4 and 6.
Ten others each won almost £250,000 for getting five main numbers and one lucky star.
