British Queen celebrates

 

The UK winner of Friday's EuroMillions draw has claimed a massive £46.2 million prize. Along with winners in France and Switzerland, the ticket holder was one of three

to take a share of the £138 million jackpot. This is the first UK EuroMillions jackpot win in 2023, according to Camelot.

The National Lottery's senior winners' adviser, Andy Carter, expressed his excitement about the news and stated that their primary focus is to support the ticket holder throughout the process and help them enjoy their life-changing win. Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the winner will have the choice to go public or not. Last year, there were six EuroMillions jackpot winners in the UK, with a total prize value exceeding £820 million.
