UK player wins £177 million in Euromillions lottery.

This week, an astounding amount of money was handed out to a fortunate individual in Britain. Just in time for the holiday season, one lucky ticketholder received a whopping £177 million. Allwyn, the national lottery operator, has confirmed that the winner has been paid £177,033,699.20 - making this the third largest win in the history of the lottery.

The fortunate ticketholder's life was forever changed on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, when they scooped the massive fortune. As per their wishes, the winner has chosen to remain anonymous and will now be added to the National Lottery Rich List. Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, Andy Carter, expressed his excitement saying, "We're absolutely over the moon that this life-changing EuroMillions jackpot prize has been paid. The possibilities with this kind of money are endless and what an excellent time to win such a prize - right before Christmas." He also added that the winner could make this holiday season extra special by treating themselves to a winter getaway or a festive shopping trip to New York.

Carter went on to say that their main focus now is to support the winner through the process so that they can start enjoying their win as soon as possible. This year alone, there have been four EuroMillions jackpot winners. And on the day of the announcement of this huge jackpot, there is another chance for people to win big with a £63 million prize up for grabs in tonight's EuroMillions draw. Those feeling lucky also have the opportunity to win £15 million on Christmas Day, in a draw where the prize "must be won."

Earlier this week, another lucky individual won the £7.3 million Lotto jackpot prize from last Saturday's draw. It's worth noting that on July 19, 2022, an anonymous UK ticket-holder won the record-breaking EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million. The latest winner is now second on the list of biggest EuroMillions winners, just behind Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester, who won a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket in the draw on May 10, 2022.
