UK ticketholder claims £110m EuroMillions jackpot
A UK ticketholder has made a claim for the £110m EuroMillions jackpot prize from Friday’s draw.
A UK ticketholder has made a claim for the £110m EuroMillions jackpot prize from Friday’s draw.
Only 15 UK players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100m, with the record-holder winning £195m in July.
Friday’s winning numbers were 07, 12, 13, 20 and 45 – while the Lucky Stars were 03 and 12.
Other winners of more than £100 million this year included the biggest National Lottery win of £195 million from the EuroMillions draw on 19 July and a £109 million jackpot from the draw on 4 February in which both winners remained anonymous.
Gloucestershire couple, Joe and Jess Thwaite celebrated a £184 million win from the draw on 10 May, exactly a month before a UK ticket-holder, who also chose to remain anonymous, scooped £54 million in the draw on 10 June.
The Thwaites said they are “not materialistic” and were not planning to spend too much of their winnings on items – maybe a “new car or something like that”.
Instead they said they want to spend the money on experiences.
They revealed they had to buy suitcases to get to the news conferences as they “never go on holiday”.
Their children have been excited at the prospect of a holiday, they say, and their youngest has “always wanted to go to Hawaii”.
“I think YouTube’s to blame for that,” Mr Thwaite said.
