A Brit hit the EuroMillions jackpot, with an impressive winning amount.

In the UK, it has been reported that a EuroMillions lottery jackpot worth over £83.4 million (almost €100 million) has been won after 13 days without a winner, as confirmed by the national operator Allwyn, according to UNN citing the BBC.

Details

A ticket for the draw on January 24, valued at £83,474,081.80, was purchased in the UK.

The winner correctly matched all five main numbers - 02, 11, 19, 30, and 49, as well as the Lucky Star numbers, which were 03 and 08.

Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at the national lottery operator Allwyn, stated that it is "absolutely incredible news" that someone has come forward. Their claim must be verified before they receive their payout.

"Everyone dreams of such a huge win when they buy a EuroMillions ticket, and for this lucky individual, that dream has become a reality," he said.

Once the EuroMillions ticket is verified and paid out, the ticket holder will decide whether to reveal their identity.

Ticket holders have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize.

The national lottery has stated that this jackpot ranks 23rd on their list of "most impressive" wins, meaning the largest, of all time.
