A lucky winner has claimed a huge £5.2million jackpot on the National Lottery.
The player matched the six winning Lotto numbers and was the only ticket to select them all on Wednesday, April 17. They will receive the £5,281,290 jackpot once their claim has been verified. Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, Andy Carter said: “We’re over the moon that this fantastic Lotto jackpot prize has now been claimed.
"Winning a Lotto jackpot is the stuff that dreams are made of, just imagine the possibilities for this lucky ticket-holder with a whopping £5.2m ready to help turn their dreams into reality. We will now focus on supporting this latest Lotto jackpot-winning ticket-holder through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.”
The news of this latest multi-million pound claim comes in what is turning out to be an amazing April for Lotto players, with 10 millionaires made so far. In total, eight ticket-holders have scooped £1m each by matching five main numbers and the bonus ball, and two very lucky ticket-holders have become multi-millionaires.
The first multi-millionaire of the month was created in the Lotto draw on Saturday, April 6, when one winner scooped the £7.5m jackpot, followed by the latest £5.2m winner from Wednesday’s draw. The lottery spokesman added that as with all major prizes, this Lotto jackpot prize claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected.
