A UK citizen has stepped forward to claim a substantial £181 million EuroMillions jackpot, making it the third-largest National Lottery win in the UK. The lucky individual matched all five main numbers and two lucky star numbers in Tuesday night’s draw, catapulting them into a realm of wealth surpassing even renowned singer Adele’s estimated net worth of £170 million.
Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, confirmed the win and announced that a dedicated team will assist the winner in the prize claim process. Andy Carter, a senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, expressed excitement over the life-changing victory, emphasizing the significant impact it will have on the winner, their loved ones, and the broader community.
The winning EuroMillions numbers drawn on Tuesday were 12, 14, 27, 44, 50, with Lucky Stars 4 and 12, while the Thunderball numbers were 10, 22, 23, 29, 30, with a Thunderball of 12. Carter encouraged all ticket holders to carefully check their numbers, as the next draw will create 13 guaranteed UK millionaires and offer a chance to win one of 13 holidays for two to the Seychelles for those purchasing two or more lines.
Playing the National Lottery not only presents an opportunity for significant financial rewards but also contributes around £32 million weekly to support impactful Good Cause projects benefiting communities across the UK.
