Fourth UK EuroMillions ticket-holder scoops jackpot this year – check numbers

A Brit has become the fourth ticket-holder from the UK to scoop the EuroMillions jackpot, winning £25million.

Another Brit snapped up £26m last Friday, while a third player won £65m on Valentine's Day. The fourth winner took a whopping £83m with their ticket in January.

To claim the EuroMillions jackpot, participants must present their tickets showing they'd selected the winning numbers, which are between one and 50. Additionally, two Lucky Star numbers ranging from one to 12 must have been chosen.

Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: "Wow, it's been an exciting night for EuroMillions players, as a single UK ticket-holder has landed the amazing £25m jackpot!

"That's two UK EuroMillions jackpot wins in the space of a week, after another lucky player scooped the incredible £26m jackpot in last Friday's draw (3 October)."

The jackpot is paid out tax-free as a lump sum, and those bagging the life-changing sum are also provided with a dedicated team of winners' advisors from Allwyn to offer a range of emotional, financial and practical guidance following this life-altering moment.

UK players are being told to check their tickets for the winning numbers, which were 06, 07, 17, 20 and 21, with the Lucky Star numbers 01 and 10.

Back in August, lucky Lottowinner Paul Harvey shared details about the moment he revealed to his son he was a millionaire - but only after he went through a week without realising his good fortune.

The single dad - who recently underwent treatment for bowel cancer- is planning on taking his family on a holiday to Greece after bagging £1million on the EuroMillions. But first he needed to apply for passports for his children.

Paul, 51, from Attleborough, Norfolk, said: "Life hasn’t always been easy, but the kids mean the world to me, and they always come first. We have never been away abroad together, and I would love to take them both to Greece. But first we need to get our passports."

He added: “I am so proud of what the kids have achieved already in life. They both have big ideas about what they want to do when they leave school, and I cannot wait to help them in their chosen careers. It’s the important stuff like helping them to learn to drive and getting them a car and insurance so they can get to college and then work.

"My daughter has a driving test later this year and I would love to get her a second-hand Fiat 500 for her to practice in.”
